Planable MCP Skills
Production-ready Claude Agent Skills for social media managers, paired with the Planable MCP server and — for the cross-channel skills — the SE Ranking MCP server. Each skill is a packaged instruction set Claude loads automatically when relevant — turning Planable data (companies, pages, posts, approvals, comments, media, analytics) and SE Ranking data (keywords, competitors, audits, AI-search visibility, rank tracking) into finished SMM deliverables: post batches, approval roundups, performance reports, content calendar audits, cross-client overviews, content pattern analysis, and full SEO + AI + social workflows.
These skills follow Anthropic's Agent Skills spec: each SKILL.md has YAML frontmatter that tells Claude when to use it, and the body is loaded only when triggered (progressive disclosure).
Skills
Core Planable skills
Ecosystem skills (SE Ranking + Planable)
These bridge SE Ranking and Planable — turning search and AI-visibility insight into social content, coordinated rewrites, local visibility, client proposals, and cross-channel reporting. They require both MCPs connected.
Two skills work without a Planable account by accepting a CSV export from any analytics tool: monthly-performance-summary and content-pattern-intelligence.
Install
This repo doubles as a Claude Code plugin marketplace. Installing the planable-smm plugin registers all six skills and auto-configures the Planable remote MCP server in one step.
Claude Code (terminal)
/plugin marketplace add Planable/smm-skills
/plugin install planable-smm@planable
Skills appear under the planable-smm namespace — e.g. /planable-smm:draft-post-batch. Or just describe what you want ("draft 5 LinkedIn posts for Acme", "what's pending approval") and Claude picks the right skill automatically based on its frontmatter. Update later with /plugin marketplace update planable.
Claude Desktop
If you use Cowork in Claude Desktop, install via the UI:
- Open Customize in the sidebar.
- Click Personal plugin → + Create plugin.
- Click Add marketplace and enter
Planable/smm-skills. - Install
planable-smmonce the marketplace loads.
Connect Planable
The Planable remote MCP (https://mcp.planable.io/mcp) auto-registers when you install the plugin — there's no separate claude mcp add step. On your first session, run /mcp and sign in via OAuth. No API token to manage.
If you don't have a Planable account yet, sign up — a Team plan (or higher) is required for MCP access.
Claude.ai projects (manual)
The plugin format is Claude Code / Desktop only. If you use Claude.ai projects instead, attach the individual SKILL.md files (or a zip of the skills/ folder) to a Project — see Anthropic's Agent Skills docs. You'll also need to connect the Planable MCP server separately via your Claude.ai integrations.
How these skills chain
A typical agency week:
pending-approvals-roundupMonday morning — clear the queue.content-calendar-audit— see what's going out this week.draft-post-batch— fill any gaps.- End-of-month:
monthly-performance-summaryper client +cross-client-metrics-overviewfor the agency view. - Quarterly:
content-pattern-intelligence— set hypotheses for the next batch.
A typical SEO-driven engagement (ecosystem skills):
client-onboarding-proposalat kickoff — set the baseline and scope.site-audit-to-social-distribution— fix the weak pages and announce them.seo-gaps-to-social-campaignand/orai-search-gaps-to-social-campaign— turn search and AI-visibility gaps into ongoing social content.local-gmb-visibility— for multi-location or local-first clients.- End-of-month:
seo-ai-social-report— one cross-channel report instead of three.
Requirements
- Claude plan: Pro, Max, or Teams (Skills are not available on free tier).
- Planable plan: MCP access on Team plan or higher. Analytics add-on required for the analytics columns in
cross-client-metrics-overviewand the Planable mode ofmonthly-performance-summary/content-pattern-intelligence. - SE Ranking plan (ecosystem skills only): MCP access on a plan that includes the Data API. Projects are required for ranking-loss detection, ongoing AI Result Tracker, and city-level rank tracking; one-off audits and AI Search snapshots work without a project. See the SE Ranking MCP setup guide.
- Permissions: Skills inherit the connected user's Planable and SE Ranking permissions.
- Drafts only:
draft-post-batchand the ecosystem campaign skills create drafts; nothing publishes to social platforms without explicit user action in Planable.
