Influence

What Influence MCP server does

The Influence MCP server gives compatible AI assistants access to social content workflows in an Influence account. It can help prepare posts, plan campaigns, tailor content for individual channels, select media, and choose posting times based on your time zone. Drafts can use the brand voice and audience information saved in Influence.

Influence supports connections to a broad set of publishing and content platforms, including X, LinkedIn profiles and Pages, Instagram, Facebook Pages, Threads, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon, Discord, Slack, Telegram, Twitch, Nostr, Tumblr, Pixelfed, and WhatsApp Business. It also connects to WordPress, DEV, Hashnode, and listmonk.

How it works

The Influence MCP server is hosted at https://influence.so/api/mcp, so there is no repository checkout or local process described in the supplied material. An MCP-compatible assistant connects to that endpoint and authenticates with an Influence account through OAuth or a scoped bearer key.

The assistant can prepare content and scheduling details, but the final review and approval happen in Influence. Image posts should also be reviewed in Influence before publishing. After content is delivered, Influence provides delivery status, a content calendar for upcoming posts, and Insights for reviewing saved account posts and performance.

Setup and configuration

Create or use an Influence account, then connect your MCP client to the hosted endpoint:

https://influence.so/api/mcp

Authentication is available through OAuth or a scoped bearer key. The supplied setup reference is the repository’s connection guide at https://github.com/influence-so/influence-mcp#connection.

Influence is a paid subscription service with a seven-day trial. Starting the trial requires a payment card. Paid plans include unlimited connected accounts for one business. The provided material does not specify client-specific configuration files or environment variable names.

Tools and capabilities

The available workflow covers:

• Preparing social media posts from account context
• Planning campaigns
• Adapting posts for different channels
• Choosing media for posts
• Setting posting times in the user’s time zone
• Reviewing and approving content before delivery
• Checking delivery status
• Reading saved account posts and performance through Insights
• Viewing upcoming posts in the content calendar
• Working with the listed social, publishing, and messaging connections

The Influence MCP server is a fit for teams that want AI assistance with content preparation while retaining a human approval step in the Influence application.

Limitations and notes

The assistant does not replace the stated review process: final content and schedules should be checked and approved in Influence before delivery, and image posts should be reviewed there before publishing. The supplied material does not identify individual MCP tool names, request schemas, rate limits, or client-specific setup instructions.

Connected account availability depends on the platforms supported by Influence. The account and subscription requirements also apply: a payment card is needed for the seven-day trial, and the service is paid after the trial terms.
