Social Media MCP Server

# Active Context ## Current Focus We are developing a Social Media MCP Server that allows posting and managing content across multiple social media platforms. The server integrates with Mastodon, LinkedIn, and Twitter (planned) to provide a unified interface for social media management. ## Recent Accomplishments 1. Successfully implemented posting to Mastodon with real posts 2. Implemented mock posting to LinkedIn (real posting requires additional API permissions) 3. Created a comprehensive documentation for post deletion functionality 4. Updated the LinkedIn OAuth flow to request both `r_liteprofile` and `w_member_social` scopes 5. Fixed issues with environment variable loading for API tokens ## Current Status ### Working Features - Posting to Mastodon (real posts) - Mock posting to LinkedIn - Content history tracking - OAuth authentication for LinkedIn - Mastodon authentication ### In Progress - LinkedIn real posting (requires Marketing Developer Platform access) - Post deletion functionality (documented but not implemented) - Twitter integration ## Recent Posts The system has successfully posted to Mastodon with the following post IDs: - https://mastodon.social/@tayler_ramsay/114118057120164809 - https://mastodon.social/@tayler_ramsay/114118060360884612 - https://mastodon.social/@tayler_ramsay/114118082118824388 - https://mastodon.social/@tayler_ramsay/114118085445017690 - https://mastodon.social/@tayler_ramsay/114118098200668360 ## Next Steps 1. Implement the post deletion functionality as documented in `documentation/post-deletion.md` 2. Fix LinkedIn authentication to allow real posting 3. Complete Twitter integration 4. Add support for media attachments 5. Implement a UI for managing posts and viewing analytics ## Active Decisions 1. **LinkedIn API Limitations**: The LinkedIn API doesn't support post deletion through the v2 API. We've documented a mock implementation for now, but real deletion would require the Marketing Developer Platform access. 2. **Authentication Flow**: We've updated the LinkedIn OAuth flow to request both `r_liteprofile` and `w_member_social` scopes to allow both profile access and posting capabilities. 3. **Error Handling**: We've implemented a fallback to mock implementations when API calls fail, allowing the system to continue functioning even when external services are unavailable. 4. **History Tracking**: We're tracking all posts in a history file, which will be updated when posts are deleted. ## Technical Considerations 1. **Rate Limiting**: All API calls are managed through a rate limit manager to prevent exceeding API rate limits. 2. **Authentication**: Each platform has its own authentication flow, with Mastodon and LinkedIn currently implemented. 3. **Error Recovery**: The system is designed to gracefully handle API errors and fall back to mock implementations when necessary. 4. **Extensibility**: The architecture allows for easy addition of new platforms and features.
