Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Solnk MCP Tools (23)

solnk_list_teams

List teams owned by the connected Solnk user. Call this before solnk_delete_team to identify the protected default team, the API-key team, and a destination team for migrated content.

solnk_set_default_team

Make the connected API-key team the owner's default team. The default team is used as the fallback after leaving a shared team and is preselected as the migration destination when deleting another team.

solnk_delete_team

Permanently delete an extra team after the user explicitly requests it. The connected API key must belong to the deleted team. Accounts, posts, groups, and media move to destination_team_id; memberships, source-team API keys, webhooks, and invitations are removed. The default team cannot be deleted. Success revokes the current API key, so the MCP connection must be reconnected to a key in the destination team.

solnk_list_accounts

List the user's connected social accounts (id, platform, username, status, capabilities). Call this first to get account_id values for publishing.
