Aidelly Claude Code Plugin

Automate Aidelly social media management directly from Claude Code. Create, schedule, and manage posts across all connected platforms with AI-powered MCP tools.

Features

• Create & Schedule Posts – Publish instantly or schedule for later across multiple platforms
• Approval Workflows – Require and manage post approvals before publishing
• Analytics – Pull engagement metrics and top-performing content
• Multi-Platform Support – Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, Google Business
• Media Upload – Fetch and upload images/videos directly

Installation

Sign-in is one click. The Aidelly MCP server supports OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, so Claude walks you through an Aidelly login and consent screen automatically — no API key or workspace ID to copy. (An API-key header remains supported for scripted/headless use.)

Install via Claude Code Plugin Marketplace

/plugin marketplace add Aidelly/claude-plugin

Then configure your API key (see Setup below).

Manual Installation (Development)

Clone this repository and point Claude Code to the local plugin path:

git clone https://github.com/Aidelly/claude-plugin
cd claude-plugin
# Add to Claude Code plugin settings

Note: Ensure .mcp.json is committed in your local clone. The Aidelly monorepo ignores *.mcp.json files, so the public Aidelly/claude-plugin repository explicitly commits it. If you see a missing .mcp.json after cloning, run git check-ignore .mcp.json — if no output, it's been properly committed.

Setup

1. Generate an API Key

1. Log in to Aidelly Dashboard
2. Go to Settings → API Keys
3. Create a new API key (or use an existing one)
4. Copy the key

2. Configure Environment Variables

Set the following environment variables in your Claude Code environment:

export AIDELLY_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
export AIDELLY_WORKSPACE_ID=your_workspace_id  # Optional; required if managing multiple workspaces

macOS/Linux (shell):

# Add to ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, or equivalent
echo 'export AIDELLY_API_KEY=sk_...' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Windows (PowerShell):

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('AIDELLY_API_KEY', 'sk_...', 'User')

3. Verify Connection

In Claude Code, run:

Use the MCP server to list accounts or get workspace info.

The plugin should successfully connect and list your Aidelly workspace data.

Usage

Configuration

.mcp.json

The plugin wires to Aidelly's MCP server via .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aidelly": {
      "url": "https://app.aidelly.ai/api/mcp/public-api",
      "transportType": "http",
      "auth": {
        "type": "headers",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer ${AIDELLY_API_KEY}",
          "x-aidelly-workspace-id": "${AIDELLY_WORKSPACE_ID}"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Metadata for Claude Code plugin marketplace:

  "version": "0.1.0"
}

Troubleshooting

"Unauthorized" Error

• Verify AIDELLY_API_KEY is set correctly
• Confirm the API key is active in Aidelly Dashboard
• Check that the workspace exists

"Forbidden" Error

• Ensure your API key has access to the workspace
• If using AIDELLY_WORKSPACE_ID, verify it matches a workspace you have access to

Rate Limit Exceeded

• The plugin enforces 120 tool calls per minute per API key
• Retry after a few seconds with exponential backoff

Platform-Specific Issues

• Instagram/TikTok deletion: These platforms don't allow post deletion via API
• LinkedIn org routing: Double-check that the author target matches your account type (member vs. organization)
• Text too long: Verify text length against platform limits in the skill documentation
