@reelspan/mcp

Reelspan's MCP server over stdio. It lets Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, Cline, Gemini CLI and any other MCP client publish videos, photos and text to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X, Threads, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Bluesky, Reddit and more, schedule them, and read how they did.

REELSPAN_API_KEY=rs_live_... npx -y @reelspan/mcp

It is a thin bridge to the hosted server at https://api.reelspan.com/mcp: the tools, their schemas and the server's instructions are read from it at start, so a tool added there appears here without a new release, and every call goes through the same auth, scopes, validation and rate limits as the API.

Does your client speak remote MCP? Then you don't need this package: add https://api.reelspan.com/mcp as a remote server and sign in with OAuth, or send Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Use this package for clients that only start local commands, for npx setups, and where you want the filters below.

Set up

Create an API key in the Reelspan dashboard under Developers → API keys.

Claude Desktop

claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reelspan": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@reelspan/mcp"],
      "env": { "REELSPAN_API_KEY": "rs_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add reelspan --env REELSPAN_API_KEY=rs_live_... -- npx -y @reelspan/mcp

Or remote, with no package at all:

claude mcp add --transport http reelspan https://api.reelspan.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer rs_live_..."

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project): the same mcpServers block as Claude Desktop.

VS Code

.vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "inputs": [{ "type": "promptString", "id": "reelspan-key", "description": "Reelspan API key", "password": true }],
  "servers": {
    "reelspan": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@reelspan/mcp"], "env": { "REELSPAN_API_KEY": "${input:reelspan-key}" } }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/Reelspan/reelspan-mcp

It reads REELSPAN_API_KEY from your environment.

Windsurf, Zed, Cline, Continue and others

Any client that runs a command: npx -y @reelspan/mcp with REELSPAN_API_KEY in its environment.

Related MCP server: postbuzz-mcp

Options

A read-only reporting assistant:

{ "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@reelspan/mcp", "--read-only"], "env": { "REELSPAN_API_KEY": "rs_live_..." } }

Pair it with an API key that only has read scopes for a second line of defence.

Tools

Whatever the hosted server offers; today:

Try: "Post launch.mp4 from my Drive link to TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels for the acme profile tomorrow at 9am New York time, with captions written for each network."

Use it from code

import { ReelspanMcpProxy } from '@reelspan/mcp';
import { StdioServerTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js';

await ReelspanMcpProxy.start(new StdioServerTransport(), { apiKey: process.env.REELSPAN_API_KEY, readOnly: true });

Troubleshooting

• "Reelspan refused the API key (401)": the key is wrong or revoked. Make a new one in the dashboard.

• "lacks a scope (403)": the key was made with limited scopes. Give it the ones the tool needs.

• Logs go to stderr (stdout carries the protocol); your client shows them in its MCP log.
