Influence Overview

Influence is a hosted Streamable HTTP MCP service for creating and editing social drafts, reviewing posts, scheduling or publishing approved posts, and checking publishing status. Customers connect their own Influence workspace with a scoped bearer API key; ChatGPT and Claude web also support the existing OAuth connection. An Influence account and the relevant paid plan or seven-day trial are required. The public connector configuration and customer guidance are available at https://github.com/influence-so/influence-mcp under MIT-0, with branding assets excluded. The hosted application and backend remain proprietary; the connector license does not license the service. Available tools depend on workspace permissions and enabled features.
