Tools & capabilities
Postbase tools 11
list_channelsList the channels connected to your workspace.create_postCreate a draft, or schedule a post or `thread`: `channel_ids`, `scheduled_at` (ISO 8601 with an offset) or `schedule_in_minutes`, `channel_bodies` for per-channel text, `media_ids` or `media_urls`, `youtube` details, and an `idempotency_key` so retries can't post twice. TikTok posts can only be dra…get_postHow a post went on each channel: status, live URL, error, retry time and latest metrics.update_postEdit or reschedule a draft or scheduled post; only the fields you pass change.retry_postSend a post again to the channels where it failed.get_analyticsImpressions, likes, comments, shares and saves per post and channel, with totals.list_mediaList images and videos in your Postbase media library, to attach by id.add_mediaAdd an image or video to the media library from a public https link.list_scheduledList scheduled posts, or drafts, published or failed ones with `status`.cancel_postCancel a scheduled post by id (it goes back to a draft).schedule_threadCreate a thread (`tweets` in order). Kept for older setups; `create_post` with `thread` does the same.
Ravenpost tools 22
list_workspacesEvery workspace the credential can act in. With more than one, the other tools require a `workspaceId` rather than guessing which client you meant.list_accountsConnected accounts with their ids, platforms and status.list_postsList recent posts, optionally filtered by status.get_postOne post with every destination's status and permalink.preview_postRender a post as each platform will show it **without creating anything** — an interactive card in clients that support MCP Apps, and per-platform character counts everywhere else.create_postDraft, publish, schedule or queue a post across any set of accounts.update_postEdit a draft or scheduled post — resets it to draft, so pass an action to re-send it.delete_postDelete the Ravenpost copy and cancel a pending publish. Never takes a live post down from a network.schedule_postMove a post to a new time.publish_postPublish a post immediately.upload_mediaUpload an image or video from a URL, a local path (dev only) or base64; images are reformatted to the platform shape you name.create_media_uploadPresigned direct upload — for large or production files, so bytes never pass through the model's context.- +10 more on the listing page
