Preflight Overview
The Preflight MCP server connects AI clients to a hosted social media scheduler at https://preflight.social/mcp. It supports drafting, rule validation, scheduling, publishing, post management, media uploads, comments, and analytics across 12 networks. Every validation and publication uses the same network-specific checks, helping prevent posts that violate channel, file, timing, or platform limits. Use it when an agent needs to manage multi-network publishing with explicit validation before content goes live.
Primary Use Cases for Preflight:
- Validate posts against channel-specific rules before publishing
- Schedule content across multiple social networks
- Draft posts without granting publishing access
- Review post performance and audience data
