PostProxy MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for integrating PostProxy API with Claude Code. This server provides tools for publishing posts, checking statuses, and managing social media profiles through Claude Code.

Installation

Global Installation

npm install -g postproxy-mcp

Local Installation

npm install postproxy-mcp

Claude Code stores MCP server configuration under ~/.claude/plugins/. After installing postproxy-mcp, Claude will automatically detect the server on restart.

Configuration

Register MCP Server

After installing postproxy-mcp, register it with Claude Code using the claude mcp add command:

claude mcp add --transport stdio postproxy-mcp --env POSTPROXY_API_KEY=your-api-key --env POSTPROXY_BASE_URL=https://api.postproxy.dev/api -- postproxy-mcp

Replace your-api-key with your actual PostProxy API key.

The configuration will be automatically saved to ~/.claude/plugins/. After running this command:

1. Restart your Claude Code session
2. Test the connection by asking Claude: "Check my PostProxy authentication status"
3. If tools are available, Claude will be able to use them automatically

Alternative: Interactive Setup

For non-technical users, you can use the interactive setup command:

postproxy-mcp setup

or

postproxy-mcp-setup

This will guide you through the setup process step by step and register the server using claude mcp add automatically.

Available Tools

Authentication Tools

auth_status

Check authentication status, API configuration, and workspace information.

Parameters: None

Returns:

{
  "authenticated": true,
  "base_url": "https://api.postproxy.dev/api",
  "profile_groups_count": 2
}

Profile Management

profile_groups_list

List all profile groups accessible with your API key. Profile groups are organizational containers (e.g. per brand or client) that hold related profiles. Use a group's id to filter profiles_list by profile_group_id.

Parameters: None

Returns:

{
  "profile_groups": [
    {
      "id": "grp123abc",
      "name": "Main Brand",
      "profiles_count": 4
    }
  ]
}

profiles_list

List all available social media profiles for posting.

Parameters:

• profile_group_id (string, optional): If provided, only profiles in this group are returned (use profile_groups_list to find group IDs)

Returns:

{
  "profiles": [
    {
      "id": "profile-123",
      "name": "My Twitter Account",
      "platform": "twitter",
      "profile_group_id": "group-abc"
    }
  ]
}

profiles_placements

List available placements for a profile. For Facebook profiles, placements are business pages. For LinkedIn profiles, placements include the personal profile and organizations. For Pinterest profiles, placements are boards. For Telegram profiles, placements are channels the bot can post to. Available for facebook, linkedin, pinterest, and telegram profiles.

Parameters:

• profile_id (string, required): Profile hashid

Returns (LinkedIn example):

{
  "placements": [
    {
      "id": null,
      "name": "Personal Profile"
    },
    {
      "id": "108520199",
      "name": "Acme Marketing"
    }
  ]
}

Notes:

• If no placement is specified when creating a post:
  • LinkedIn: defaults to the personal profile
  • Facebook: defaults to a random connected page (if only one page is connected, no need to set a placement ID)
  • Pinterest: it fails
  • Telegram: it fails — chat_id is required on every post

profiles_stats

Get the follower/engagement timeseries for a profile. Snapshots are captured roughly every 23 hours, so you can plot follower growth and other trends over time. The stats fields are platform-native (not normalized) — see Stats Fields by Platform in the post_stats section for shape and add-on profile-level keys (followers_count, followersCount, etc.) per network.

Parameters:

• profile_id (string, required): Profile hashid
• placement_id (string, conditional): Required for facebook, linkedin, and telegram profiles. Get it from profiles_placements. Omit for instagram, threads, youtube, twitter, tiktok, pinterest, and bluesky.
• from (string, optional): ISO 8601 timestamp — only include snapshots recorded at or after this time
• to (string, optional): ISO 8601 timestamp — only include snapshots recorded at or before this time

Returns (LinkedIn example):

{
  "data": {
    "profile_id": "prof_li_001",
    "platform": "linkedin",
    "placement_id": "108520199",
    "records": [
      { "stats": { "followerCount": 4500, "shareCount": 8, "likeCount": 80 }, "recorded_at": "2026-05-09T08:00:00Z" },
      { "stats": { "followerCount": 4520, "shareCount": 9, "likeCount": 90 }, "recorded_at": "2026-05-10T08:00:00Z" }
    ]
  }
}

For non-placement networks (e.g. Bluesky), omit placement_id:

{
  "data": {
    "profile_id": "prof_bsky_001",
    "platform": "bluesky",
    "placement_id": null,
    "records": [
      { "stats": { "followersCount": 8800, "postsCount": 40 }, "recorded_at": "2026-05-09T08:00:00Z" }

  "page": 0,
  "per_page": 20,
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "cmt_abc123",

Direct Messages

1:1 messaging (chats and messages) on DM-capable profiles. Supported on Facebook (Messenger), Instagram (DMs), Telegram (Bot DMs), and Bluesky. Outbound sends are processed asynchronously (returned with status: "pending"). Meta's 24h messaging window applies to Facebook/Instagram — a human replying to the participant's own inquiry can pass tag: "HUMAN_AGENT" to send outside it (up to 7 days, never for promotional or automated content); Telegram and Bluesky have no window.

• tag (string, optional): HUMAN_AGENT to send outside the 24h window — extends it to 7 days from the participant's last inbound message (Facebook/Instagram only). Meta restricts it to a human replying to the participant's own inquiry; using it for marketing, offers, or automated re-engagement can get that Page / Instagram account's messaging capability suspended. Past 7 days Meta rejects the send and the message lands in status: failed with the platform error in error_details.

  "profiles": ["facebook"],
  "media": ["https://example.com/product.jpg"],
  "platforms": {
    "facebook": {
      "format": "post",
      "first_comment": "Link to purchase: https://example.com/shop"
    }
  }
}

Facebook Story:

{
  "profiles": ["facebook"],
  "media": ["https://example.com/story-video.mp4"],
  "platforms": {
    "facebook": {
      "format": "story"
    }
  }
}

Facebook Page Post:

{
  "content": "Company announcement",
  "profiles": ["facebook"],
  "platforms": {
    "facebook": {
      "page_id": "123456789",
      "first_comment": "Visit our website for more details"
    }
  }

LinkedIn Examples

Personal LinkedIn Post:

{
  "content": "Excited to share my latest article on AI",
  "profiles": ["linkedin"],
  "media": ["https://example.com/article-cover.jpg"]
}

Company LinkedIn Post:

{
  "content": "We're hiring! Join our team",
  "profiles": ["linkedin"],
  "media": ["https://example.com/careers.jpg"],
  "platforms": {
    "linkedin": {
      "organization_id": "company-id-12345"
    }
  }
}

Bluesky Examples

Plain Bluesky post (auto-faceted mentions/tags/links):

{
  "content": "Hey @jay.bsky.team — check out our latest #ruby post: https://example.com/blog/post",
  "profiles": ["bluesky"]
}

You don't need any markup — Postproxy auto-converts @handles, #tags, and URLs into AT Protocol facets, and generates a link card preview from the URL's Open Graph meta (when no media is attached). 300-grapheme limit.

Telegram Examples

Telegram channel post (HTML formatting):

{
  "content": "<b>New release</b> — read more on our blog https://example.com/post",
  "profiles": ["telegram"],
  "platforms": {
    "telegram": {
      "chat_id": "-1001234567890",
      "parse_mode": "HTML",
      "disable_link_preview": true,
      "disable_notification": false
    }
  }
}

Use profiles_placements against your Telegram profile to list channel chat_ids the bot can post to. The bot must be added to the channel as administrator with permission to post.

Private accounts and accounts with tagging off are silently skipped by Instagram.

Troubleshooting

Server Won't Start

• Check API Key: Ensure POSTPROXY_API_KEY is set when registering with claude mcp add
• Check Node Version: Requires Node.js >= 18.0.0
• Check Installation: Verify postproxy-mcp is installed and in PATH
• Check Registration: Ensure the server is registered via claude mcp add and configuration is saved in ~/.claude/plugins/

Authentication Errors

• AUTH_MISSING: API key is not configured. Make sure you included --env POSTPROXY_API_KEY=... when running claude mcp add
• AUTH_INVALID: API key is invalid. Verify your API key is correct.

Validation Errors

• TARGET_NOT_FOUND: One or more profile IDs don't exist. Use profiles_list to see available profiles.
• VALIDATION_ERROR: Post content or parameters are invalid. The API now returns detailed error messages:
  • 400 errors: {"status":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"..."}
  • 422 errors: {"errors": ["Error 1", "Error 2"]} - Array of validation error messages
  • Check the error message for specific validation issues

API Errors

• API_ERROR: PostProxy API returned an error. Check the error message for details.
• Timeout: Request took longer than 30 seconds. Check your network connection and API status.

Platform Errors

When checking post status with post_status, platform-specific errors are now available in the error field of each platform object:

• error: null - Post published successfully
• error: "Error message" - Detailed error message from the platform API
• Common errors include authentication issues, rate limits, content violations, etc.

Draft Post Issues

If you create a draft post (draft: true) but receive draft: false in the response:

• The response will include a warning field explaining that the API may have ignored the draft parameter
• This can happen if:
  • The API does not support drafts with media attachments
  • The API has specific limitations for draft posts under certain conditions
• Check the warning field in the response for details
• Enable debug mode (POSTPROXY_MCP_DEBUG=1) to see detailed logging about draft parameter handling

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging by setting POSTPROXY_MCP_DEBUG=1 when registering the server:

claude mcp add --transport stdio postproxy-mcp --env POSTPROXY_API_KEY=your-api-key --env POSTPROXY_BASE_URL=https://api.postproxy.dev/api --env POSTPROXY_MCP_DEBUG=1 -- postproxy-mcp
