What PostHero MCP server does

The PostHero MCP server exposes PostHero’s social media publishing and analytics functions to AI assistants that support MCP. It is intended for workflows where an assistant needs to work with connected social accounts, prepare content, schedule publication, publish immediately, or inspect results without switching to a separate PostHero interface.

Supported platforms are LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Threads, and Bluesky. The available operations cover both content management and reporting, so the same connection can be used to schedule a post and later review its performance.

How it works

The package runs as an MCP server through the npx command. An MCP client starts the process and supplies the POSTHERO_API_KEY environment variable. The server then provides tools that the assistant can call for PostHero account, post, publishing, and analytics operations.

The PostHero MCP server does not describe a separate content-generation system. Instead, it gives the connected AI client access to PostHero actions. For example, an assistant can turn a request to schedule a LinkedIn post into a create_post call, or use get_top_posts to retrieve high-performing content for a platform.

Setup and configuration

Create a PostHero account at posthero.ai and obtain an API key from Settings > API. Add the server to the MCP client’s configuration with npx -y @posthero/mcp, then pass the key as POSTHERO_API_KEY.

The README provides configuration examples for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code. Claude Desktop and Cursor use an mcpServers entry with the package command and environment variable. VS Code uses a servers entry with type set to stdio. Windsurf and other MCP-compatible clients are also named as supported usage targets, but their individual configuration format is not specified in the provided material.

POSTHERO_BASE_URL can optionally override the default API endpoint, which is https://server.posthero.ai/api/v1.

Tools and capabilities

The PostHero MCP server provides these tools:

• list_accounts lists connected social media accounts.
• create_post creates a post, schedules it, or publishes it.
• list_posts returns posts with status and platform filters.
• get_post retrieves complete post details.
• update_post changes a draft or scheduled post.
• delete_post removes a post from PostHero.
• publish_post publishes a draft or scheduled post immediately.
• get_analytics_summary returns aggregated analytics for a platform.
• get_top_posts ranks top-performing posts by a metric.

These tools fit campaign management, editorial scheduling, post maintenance, immediate publishing, and basic performance review workflows.

Limitations and notes

A PostHero API key is required. The supplied documentation does not specify account permissions, supported media formats, scheduling time zones, rate limits, analytics metric names, or platform-specific restrictions. It also does not document tool parameters beyond the listed purposes, so those details should be checked in the PostHero API or client experience before building an automated workflow.

The server is focused on PostHero-backed social publishing and analytics. It does not claim to provide direct native integrations with the listed social platforms outside PostHero, and the material does not describe features such as comment management, inbox handling, audience management, or advertising controls.
