PostPulse MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects AI assistants to PostPulse — a social media management platform. Schedule posts, upload media, and manage accounts across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Threads, LinkedIn, Pinterest, X (Twitter), Bluesky, and Telegram — all through natural language.

Features

• Multi-platform posting — Schedule posts to 10 social media platforms from a single interface

• Media management — Upload images and videos via URL or binary data for use in posts

• Account management — List and manage all connected social media accounts

• Connect social accounts from the chat — Get a secure link to connect or reconnect an account without opening the PostPulse app

• OAuth 2.0 authentication — Secure access via Auth0-based token verification

• Streamable HTTP transport — Modern MCP transport protocol for reliable communication

Quick Start

Hosted Server (Recommended)

PostPulse runs a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.post-pulse.com — no setup required. Point your MCP client to this URL and authenticate via OAuth.

Example MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postpulse": {
      "url": "https://mcp.post-pulse.com"
    }
  }
}

Install via Smithery

You can also install through Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install post-pulse/mcp-server --client claude

Self-Hosted

If you prefer to run the server yourself:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/PostPulse/mcp-server-postpulse.git
cd mcp-server-postpulse

2. Install dependencies and build:

npm install
npm run build

3. Start the server:

npm start

Or with Docker:

docker build -t mcp-server-postpulse .
docker run -p 3000:3000 mcp-server-postpulse

Environment Variables

Tools

list_accounts

List all connected social media accounts with their IDs, platforms, usernames, and display names. Use this as the first step to discover available accounts before scheduling posts or accessing chats.

Parameters: None

Returns: JSON array of account objects (id, platform, username, name, needsReauthorization). A new user has no accounts yet: the result is [] plus a hint to use connect_account. Accounts with needsReauthorization: true must be reconnected with connect_account before posting; the result names them in a second text block.

connect_account

Get a secure PostPulse link that connects (or reconnects) a social media account to PostPulse directly from the chat. The user opens the link in any browser and lands on a PostPulse page that shows which PostPulse account (masked email) the social account will be attached to. After Continue and approving access on the platform, the page says "Account connected — return to your chat". The tool does not wait for completion: once the user says they are done, call list_accounts to confirm the account.

Parameters:

Behaviour:

• For a new connection the tool first checks that the user may add an account (plan or credits). If not, it returns the reason and a link to billing.

• The link is single-use, tied to the user's PostPulse account and valid for 24 hours; the platform consent starts only when the user clicks Continue on the page. It must not be shared: whoever completes it attaches their social account to this PostPulse account.

• If too many links are requested in a short time, the tool asks to wait a few minutes and try again.

• Telegram cannot be connected with a link: the tool returns instructions to connect it on https://post-pulse.com/app/accounts instead.

• For Facebook and Telegram, call list_chats afterwards to pick the Page or channel.

• Clients that support URL-mode elicitation additionally get a native "open this link" dialog; the link is always in the text result as well.

• Errors that happen in the browser (account limit, account already used by another PostPulse user, expired link) are shown on the page, not returned by the tool.

list_chats

List publishing destinations for accounts that have sub-destinations. Facebook accounts publish to Pages, Telegram accounts publish to channels or chats, and Pinterest accounts publish to boards. Call this before scheduling posts to these platforms — use the returned id as the facebookPageId, telegramChannelId or pinterestBoardId in schedule_post.

Only supports FACEBOOK, TELEGRAM and PINTEREST. Other platforms do not have sub-destinations and should be posted to directly.

Parameters:

Returns: JSON array of destination objects (id, title, type, platform).

upload_media

Upload media files (images, videos) for use in scheduled posts. Supports two modes: importing from a public URL (with automatic processing) or uploading binary data directly as base64. Returns a media key to reference in schedule_post.

Parameters:

Either mediaUrl or both mediaData and mediaType must be provided.

schedule_post

Schedule a social media post to one or more connected accounts. Supports platform-specific options like publication type (feed, reel, story), video titles, and topic tags. Posts are scheduled for a future time using ISO-8601 timestamps.

Parameters:

Resources

postpulse://accounts

An MCP resource providing the list of all connected social media accounts. Returns the same data as the list_accounts tool in JSON format, including needsReauthorization.

Authentication

This server uses OAuth 2.0 with Auth0. OAuth metadata is discoverable at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource and /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server.

No existing PostPulse account is needed: signing in through the MCP client (with Google or a passwordless email code) creates the PostPulse account on first use. The user then connects social accounts with connect_account.

Dynamic Client Registration (DCR)

MCP clients that support OAuth can register automatically via Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591). The server advertises a registration_endpoint in its OAuth metadata, so compliant clients (such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) will handle the entire OAuth flow — registration, authorization, and token exchange — without any manual setup from the user.

Pre-Registered Client Credentials

If you already have client credentials created through the PostPulse Developer Portal, you can configure your MCP client to use them directly instead of DCR. Pass your client_id and client_secret in the OAuth authorization code flow against the PostPulse authorization server.

HTTP Endpoints

Every response carries X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow so search engines never index this host.

Example Workflow

A typical interaction with the PostPulse MCP server:

1. List accounts to find connected social media profiles

2. Connect an account (if the platform is missing) with connect_account

3. Upload media (optional) to prepare images or videos

4. Schedule a post with content, media, and a future publish time

User: "Schedule an Instagram reel for tomorrow at 9am with the video at https://example.com/video.mp4 and caption 'Check this out!'"

First run (new user)

User:      "Post 'Hello LinkedIn!' to my LinkedIn tomorrow at 10:00 UTC"
Assistant: list_accounts → [] ("No social accounts are connected yet")
           connect_account(platform: LINKEDIN) → link
           "Open this link, check the PostPulse account on the page, approve access on LinkedIn, then tell me when you are done."
User:      "Done"
Assistant: list_accounts → [{ id: 123, platform: LINKEDIN, ... }]
           schedule_post(accountId: 123, platform: LINKEDIN, content: "Hello LinkedIn!", scheduledTime: ...)
