MCP Setup - Autoposting

With CLI v0.5.4 or later, run ap auth login once. The local MCP server reuses the active saved profile; no API key needs to be copied into client settings.

{"mcpServers":{"autoposting":{"command":"ap","args":["mcp"]}}}

Alternatively use an API key below. The remote MCP endpoint authenticates separately and does not read local CLI credentials.

Get Your API Key

Generate an API key from your dashboard settings under API & Integrations → API Keys.

Keep your API key secret. Never commit it to version control or share it publicly.

Install the CLI

The MCP server is built into the CLI package:

npm install -g @autoposting.ai/cli

Connect Your Client

Claude Desktop
Cursor
Claude Code
Remote (no install)

Add to your Claude Desktop MCP settings (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autoposting": {
      "command": "ap",
      "args": ["mcp"],
      "env": { "AUTOPOSTING_API_KEY": "sk-social-your-key" }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The 56 Autoposting tools appear automatically.

Open Settings → MCP and add:

{
  "autoposting": {
    "command": "ap",
    "args": ["mcp"],
    "env": { "AUTOPOSTING_API_KEY": "sk-social-your-key" }
  }
}

Tools are available in Composer and Agent mode.

Add to .claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autoposting": {
      "command": "ap",
      "args": ["mcp"],
      "env": { "AUTOPOSTING_API_KEY": "sk-social-your-key" }
    }
  }
}

For cloud-hosted agents or Claude.ai, use the remote endpoint:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autoposting": {
      "url": "https://app.autoposting.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk-social-your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify the Connection

Ask your AI assistant:

List my brands using Autoposting.

You should see your brands returned. If you get an auth error, confirm your API key is valid and not expired.

Authentication

Use any API key — scopes on the key determine which tools are available.

# Optional environment key overrides saved login
AUTOPOSTING_API_KEY=sk-social-your-key ap mcp

# Or pass as flag
ap mcp --api-key sk-social-your-key

Keys with restricted scopes see fewer tools. Generate a full-access key for the complete 67-tool set.
