When was TimeToPost last checked?

Last checked 2026-10-16. Official TimeToPost MCP server for social post drafting, scheduling, publishing and approval queues.

TimeToPost MCP server

The official Model Context Protocol server for TimeToPost: draft, schedule and publish social posts, manage approval queues, read analytics and run AutoSEO workflows from your AI assistant.

Supported networks: Instagram, X, TikTok, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr, Pixelfed, Telegram, Tumblr, WordPress, Ghost, DEV, Whop, Listmonk and Buttondown. Coming soon: LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Discord, Slack, Lemmy, Dribbble, Kick, Twitch and Farcaster.

Mirror posting: post on X and it is mirrored to your other connected networks.

The hosted server exposes 70 tools; the npm/stdio package exposes 62 of them. Call get_capabilities for what your workspace can use.

Hosted MCP endpoint: https://api.timetopost.co/mcp
Public setup and tool documentation: TimeToPost MCP docs

Recommended setup: hosted server with OAuth

Use the hosted Streamable HTTP server in an MCP client that supports remote servers and OAuth. Add https://api.timetopost.co/mcp, then follow the browser sign-in flow and approve access. No local installation or API token copying is needed.

For Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http timetopost https://api.timetopost.co/mcp

For clients that accept URL-based MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "timetopost": {
      "url": "https://api.timetopost.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Client-specific setup details are in the public docs. You can revoke access from Settings → API in TimeToPost.

Claude Code plugin and skill

This repo is also a Claude Code plugin marketplace. The timetopost plugin bundles the hosted MCP server and a schedule-social-posts skill that runs the safe workflow: check the workspace with whoami, read recent posts for voice, draft first, let a human approve, then schedule.

/plugin marketplace add MelMayssonOwen/timetopost-mcp
/plugin install timetopost@timetopost

Then sign in to TimeToPost when Claude Code prompts for MCP authentication.

Other ways to install:

Skill only, any harness that reads SKILL.md folders. Copy plugins/timetopost/skills/schedule-social-posts into ~/.claude/skills/ (or your project's .claude/skills/), and add the MCP server separately.
MCP server only: claude mcp add --transport http timetopost https://api.timetopost.co/mcp

Before using tools

Call whoami to confirm your user, active workspace and credential permissions.
Call get_capabilities for the current capability map, platform availability and workflow rules.
Call list_integrations to check connected accounts and their health.

Confirm the intended workspace before creating drafts, scheduling or publishing. Draft-only credentials can prepare drafts; actions that schedule or publish content require publish permission. Account permissions, workspace scoping, validation and plan limits are enforced by the TimeToPost API.

Local setup: stdio from source

For clients that use a local stdio process, install from this public repository. You need Git, Node.js 18 or later, npm and a TimeToPost API token from Settings → API.

git clone https://github.com/MelMayssonOwen/timetopost-mcp.git
cd timetopost-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Run the install and build commands from the repository root. The built entry point is dist/src/index.js.

Configure your MCP client to launch it with Node.js:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "timetopost": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/timetopost-mcp/dist/src/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "TIMETOPOST_API_URL": "https://api.timetopost.co",
        "TIMETOPOST_API_TOKEN": "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace the example path with the absolute path to your checkout and configure the token through your client's environment or secret settings. Keep tokens out of version control. TIMETOPOST_API_URL defaults to https://api.timetopost.co. You can optionally set TIMETOPOST_ORG_ID to select a workspace your account can access; confirm the selection with whoami.

After connecting, use the checks in Before using tools to verify your setup.
