postbuzz-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the post.buzz social media API — post, schedule, and analyze across 16+ platforms from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client.

A thin, transport-agnostic wrapper over the official postbuzz SDK, mirroring postbuzz-cli. Requires Node.js 20+.

Setup

Create an API key at post.buzz → Settings → API Keys (sx_live_…), then configure your client:

Claude Desktop

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postbuzz": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "postbuzz-mcp"],
      "env": { "POSTBUZZ_API_KEY": "sx_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add postbuzz -e POSTBUZZ_API_KEY=sx_live_... -- npx -y postbuzz-mcp

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postbuzz": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "postbuzz-mcp"],
      "env": { "POSTBUZZ_API_KEY": "sx_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Configuration

Test interactively with the MCP Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js

Tools (51)

Diagnostics — check_setup (run it first), describe_platform (per-platform field schemas; call before create_post).

Organization — get_organization, get_usage.

Accounts — list_accounts, get_account, connect_account (OAuth URL), disconnect_account, refresh_account, list_account_tools, run_account_tool (Reddit flairs / Pinterest boards).

Posts — create_post, schedule_post, list_posts, get_post, update_post, delete_post, retry_post, reschedule_post.

Comments — create_comment (immediate or scheduled; parentCommentId chains replies), list_comments, get_comment, update_comment, delete_comment, retry_comment.

Inbox — list_inbox (comments/mentions/DMs), reply_to_inbox_item, edit_inbox_reply.

Media — upload_media (public URL or local path), list_media, get_media, delete_media, delete_media_many.

Analytics — get_post_analytics, get_account_analytics, get_bulk_post_analytics (≤ 60 posts), refresh_analytics, get_analytics_summary, get_best_times.

Teams — list_teams, get_team, create_team, update_team, delete_team, add_team_account, remove_team_account.

CSV import — create_post_csv_import, list_post_csv_imports, get_post_csv_import, get_post_csv_import_rows, retry_post_csv_import.

Targeting & per-platform fields

Posts target accounts by id (list_accounts); per-platform required fields (Reddit sr-style lookups, Pinterest boards, TikTok privacy, YouTube madeForKids…) are discovered via describe_platform + run_account_tool and passed through accountOverrides[{ accountId, fields }].

Errors

Tool failures return { "error": { "code", "message", "details"? } } as text content with isError: true — the same envelope the REST API and CLI emit.

Development

bun install
bun run build       # tsup → dist/index.js (SDK bundled)
bun test            # vitest: MCP client over in-memory transport (manifest + flows)
node test/live-stdio.mjs   # live integration over real stdio (needs POSTBUZZ_API_KEY)

createServer({ apiKey, apiUrl? }) (exported from dist/index.js) builds the transport-agnostic McpServer.
