Autowhisper MCP tools 13
autowhisper_connectAuthorise this MCP server against the user's AutoWhisper account. Returns a link; the user clicks Approve once and this server is authorised immediately — no restart, nothing to copy and paste. Call this when a tool reports it is not connected, or when a call returns Unauthorized. Show the user the link and tell them you are waiting.autowhisper_products_summaryFast read-only product counts, account-wide AND per workspace. Unlike the other read tools this one spans EVERY workspace — use it for 'how many products do I have in total?' and to discover workspace ids.autowhisper_productsFast read-only product list for ONE workspace (the user's current one unless workspace_id is given). Use instead of autowhisper_cmo when the user only wants to list/search products.autowhisper_statusFast read-only CMO snapshot for the user's CURRENT workspace (products, feed, platforms, automation settings) plus the account-level wallet and a directory of EVERY workspace with its id. Call this first to learn which workspaces exist and which one is current — every other read tool defaults to the current one and does NOT span the others.autowhisper_feedFast read-only CMO feed list for ONE workspace (the user's current one unless workspace_id is given), with status counts and available actions. Use for pending review/feed/status questions.autowhisper_postsFast delivery-queue list for ONE workspace (the user's current one unless workspace_id is given). Use for scheduled, failed, and published post facts.autowhisper_walletFast read-only credit balance. Use before proposing or starting credit-spending generation.autowhisper_platformsFast read-only connected-platform list and connection health for ONE workspace (the user's current one unless workspace_id is given).autowhisper_performanceRead-only cross-channel results for ONE workspace: a four-layer funnel, a per-channel breakdown, and ad spend over the window. Use this to answer how published content is actually doing, and before advising which creative to fund or scale — autowhisper_feed and autowhisper_posts only say what was made and sent, never whether it worked. ad_spend_cents is null (not 0) when the account has no active workspace: null means we cannot answer, 0 would assert nothing was spent.autowhisper_actionRun an explicit feed or post action without an AI chat turn. High-impact actions return a confirmation message_id; confirm it with autowhisper_confirm. approve_feed_item PUBLISHES: it schedules the piece to every connected platform, and for a video draft it also starts the render and charges credits for it — approving is the spend, not a bookmark. When nothing is connected it schedules nothing, and connecting a platform later does NOT go back for it; the result line says which happened. regenerate_content rewrites an existing draft IN PLACE (same record id, new text) — it is the same action as the Revise button on the web feed card; it takes content_type + content_id, not feed_item_id, and always returns a confirmation because it spends credits.autowhisper_edit_contentDirectly update exact content fields without a generation run or credit spend. Pass body for the full replacement copy/story. IDs: content_id is the CONTENT id — in autowhisper_feed output that is the `content: <type> #<id>` part of a row, NOT the leading `feed_item #<id>` (that one belongs to autowhisper_action). content_type is the same snake_case value shown there.autowhisper_cmoSend a natural-language instruction to your AutoWhisper AI CMO and get its reply. Best at: (1) generating batches of on-brand ad creatives (UGC video, posts, images) for paid campaigns, (2) advising which creative to fund and how to target, (3) keeping every social channel alive across 30+ networks, plus analytics. Examples: "Make a batch of ad creatives for my product https://mystore.com/widget", "Which creative should I run first, and how should I target?", "Keep my channels posted this week". Honest scope: posting ≠ traffic — reach comes from the user's paid ads. To add a product, pass a product URL (the CMO extracts the image from the page) — a text-only description will not create it, and placeholder/stock images are rejected.- +1 more on the listing page
