PostFast MCP Server
MCP server for the PostFast API — schedule and manage social media posts via AI tools like Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and more.
Hosted connector (no install)
Prefer not to run anything locally? Connect to the hosted endpoint and authenticate with OAuth — no npx, no API key to manage:
https://mcp.postfa.st/mcp
Add it as a remote/streamable-HTTP MCP server in any client that supports OAuth (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude). You'll be prompted to sign in to PostFast and authorize access on first use.
Want to run the server yourself instead? Use the npx + API-key setup in Quick Start below.
Quick Start
1. Get your API key
Log in to PostFast, go to API in the sidebar, and generate a key.
2. Install
Choose your preferred method:
Claude Desktop (recommended)
Download the extension from the Claude Desktop extension directory or install manually:
- Add to
claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"postfast": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "postfast-mcp"],
"env": {
"POSTFAST_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
- Restart Claude Desktop.
Claude Code
Via plugin (pending marketplace approval):
/plugin install postfast@claude-plugins-official
After installing, set your API key — pick one of these:
# Option A: Add to your shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc)
export POSTFAST_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
# Option B: Add to ~/.claude/settings.local.json
# { "env": { "POSTFAST_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } }
Then restart Claude Code.
Via manual config:
Add to your project's .mcp.json or ~/.claude/.mcp.json (global):
{
"mcpServers": {
"postfast": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "postfast-mcp"],
"env": {
"POSTFAST_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf / Other MCP clients
Add to your MCP config (.mcp.json, mcp.json, or the tool's settings UI):
{
"mcpServers": {
"postfast": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "postfast-mcp"],
"env": {
"POSTFAST_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
3. Use it
Ask your AI assistant things like:
- "List my connected social accounts"
- "Schedule a post to Instagram for tomorrow at 9am"
- "Show me all scheduled posts for this week"
- "Upload this image and create a LinkedIn post with it"
- "Create a Facebook reel with this video"
- "Show me analytics for my Instagram posts this month"
