@socialneuron/mcp-server

52 MCP tools for AI-powered social media management. Create content, schedule posts, track analytics, and optimize performance — all from Claude Code or any MCP client.

Quick Start

1. Authenticate

npx -y @socialneuron/mcp-server login --device

This opens your browser to authorize access. Requires a paid Social Neuron plan (Starter or above). See pricing.

2. Add to Claude Code

claude mcp add socialneuron -- npx -y @socialneuron/mcp-server

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

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

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "socialneuron": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@socialneuron/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "socialneuron": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@socialneuron/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "socialneuron": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@socialneuron/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

3. Start using

Ask Claude: "What content should I post this week?" or "Schedule my latest video to YouTube and TikTok"

What You Can Do

Ask Claude things like:

• "Generate 5 content ideas about sustainable fashion for Gen Z"

• "Create a 30-second video ad for my product launch"

• "Schedule this image to Instagram and LinkedIn at 9am tomorrow"

• "Show me my best-performing content this month"

• "What are the trending topics in my niche right now?"

• "Check my analytics and suggest improvements"

• "Set up autopilot to post 3 times per week"

Tool Categories (52 tools)

These tools are available to AI agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.) via the MCP protocol.

Utilities

Authentication

Three auth methods, in order of recommendation:

Device Code (Recommended)

npx -y @socialneuron/mcp-server login --device

Opens browser, you approve, CLI receives API key automatically.

Browser Flow

npx -y @socialneuron/mcp-server login

Browser-based OAuth flow.

API Key Paste

npx -y @socialneuron/mcp-server login --paste

Generate a key at socialneuron.com/settings/developer, paste it in.

Keys are stored in your OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Linux secret-tool) or file fallback.

Windows users: The file fallback (~/.config/social-neuron/credentials.json) does not have strong permission enforcement on NTFS. For production use on Windows, set the SOCIALNEURON_API_KEY environment variable instead.

Pricing

MCP access requires a paid plan:

Sign up at socialneuron.com/pricing.

Scopes

Each API key inherits scopes from your plan. Tools require specific scopes to execute.

CLI Reference

These commands run directly in your terminal — no AI agent needed. Useful for scripts, CI/CD, and quick checks.

After global install (npm i -g @socialneuron/mcp-server), use socialneuron-mcp directly. Otherwise, prefix with npx @socialneuron/mcp-server.

Automation Flow (E2E Loop)

The full autonomous content loop using MCP tools:

1. get_loop_summary — assess project state (content count, scheduled posts, insights)

2. plan_content_week — generate a content plan based on insights and trends

3. generate_video / generate_image — create media assets from the plan

4. check_status — poll async jobs until assets are ready

5. schedule_post — distribute content to connected platforms

6. (wait for analytics collection) — platform data is fetched automatically

7. refresh_platform_analytics — trigger a manual analytics refresh

8. get_performance_insights — read what worked and what didn't

9. Loop back to step 1 with new insights

Each iteration produces smarter content as performance data feeds back into the planning step.

Security

• All API keys are hashed before storage — we never store plaintext keys

• Credentials stored in your OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Linux secret-tool) or environment variable

• SSRF protection on all URL parameters with DNS rebinding prevention

• Rate limiting per user with per-tool limits for expensive operations

• Agent loop detection prevents runaway automation

• Telemetry is off by default — opt in with SOCIALNEURON_TELEMETRY=1

See SECURITY.md for our vulnerability disclosure policy and credential safety details.

Telemetry

Telemetry is off by default. No data is collected unless you explicitly opt in.

To enable: Set SOCIALNEURON_TELEMETRY=1 in your environment.

To disable: DO_NOT_TRACK=1 or SOCIALNEURON_NO_TELEMETRY=1 always disables telemetry, even if SOCIALNEURON_TELEMETRY=1 is set.

When enabled, the following anonymous metrics are collected via PostHog:

• Tool name invoked

• Success or failure status

• Invocation duration (ms)

No personal content, API keys, or request payloads are ever collected. Your user ID is hashed (SHA-256) before transmission.

posthog-node is an optional dependency — if it is not installed, telemetry is a silent no-op regardless of environment variables.
