Examples

Real-world examples of using PostPost MCP with AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and others.

Getting Started

First Connection Test

You: Show my connected social media accounts

Claude: Let me check your PostPost connections.

You have 3 connected accounts:

1. Twitter/X - @yourcompany (twitter-abc123)
2. LinkedIn - Your Company Page (linkedin-xyz789)
3. Bluesky - yourcompany.bsky.social (bluesky-def456)

Scheduling Posts

Schedule a Single Post

You: Schedule a LinkedIn post for tomorrow at 9am saying "Excited to announce our new feature!"

Claude: I'll schedule that post for you.

Done! Post scheduled:

• Platform: LinkedIn
• Time: Tomorrow at 9:00 AM EST
• Content: "Excited to announce our new feature!"
• Post ID: 67a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1

Schedule with Specific Timezone

You: Schedule "Join our webinar!" to LinkedIn for March 1st at 2pm Pacific time

Claude: Scheduled! The post will publish on March 1, 2026 at 2:00 PM PST (10:00 PM UTC).

Post ID: 67b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2

Post to Multiple Platforms

You: Post "We're hiring senior engineers! Check our careers page" to Twitter, LinkedIn, and Bluesky right now

Claude: I'll schedule that for immediate publishing. (To post immediately via MCP, I set scheduledTime to the current time -- the backend converts past/current times to immediate publishing.)

Published successfully:

• Twitter: https://twitter.com/yourcompany/status/...
• LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/feed/update/...
• Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/...

Create a Draft for Later

You: Create a draft post for Instagram: "Behind the scenes at our office today"

Claude: I can't create a draft via MCP -- the create_post tool requires a scheduledTime (it's not optional). I'll need a specific date and time to schedule this post. When would you like it published?

Limitation: The MCP create_post tool requires scheduledTime — it is marked as required in the MCP schema, even though the REST API accepts it as optional (omitting it in REST creates a draft). Drafts cannot be created via MCP; use the REST API directly or the PostPost dashboard instead.

Schedule a Thread

You: Schedule a Twitter thread for tomorrow at 10am:

1. "We've been working on something big..."
2. "After months of development, we're ready to share..."
3. "Introducing our new AI-powered feature!"

Claude: I'll create a scheduled thread with 3 tweets for tomorrow at 10am.

Thread scheduled:

• Tweet 1: "We've been working on something big..."
• Tweet 2: "After months of development, we're ready to share..."
• Tweet 3: "Introducing our new AI-powered feature!"
