Claude is Anthropic’s web app for chatting with Claude. You can connect it to TryPost’s MCP server to manage your social media scheduling through conversation — no desktop install required. The same custom connector also works in Claude Cowork and on Claude Desktop when you use remote connectors (they connect from Anthropic’s cloud via your Claude account).

​
Prerequisites

  • A Claude account on Free, Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise (custom connectors are available on all of these; Free is limited to one custom connector)
  • A TryPost Cloud account with an active trial or subscription (start a 7-day free trial)

​
Setup

1

Open the Connectors settings

Go to Customize → Connectors (some Claude UIs still say Settings → Connectors) and click + → Add custom connector.Free, Pro, and Max use this path. Team and Enterprise Owners add connectors at the org level first — see the accordion below.
2

Add the TryPost connector

Enter a name (for example TryPost) and the MCP server URL:
Leave Advanced settings (OAuth Client ID / Client Secret) empty — TryPost supports Dynamic Client Registration, so Claude registers itself automatically. Click Add.
3

Authorize TryPost

Complete the OAuth sign-in in the browser. Sign in to TryPost, review the permissions, and click Allow. Return to Claude — the connector should show as connected.
4

Enable the connector in a chat

Start a new conversation, click + (lower left) → Connectors, and toggle TryPost on for that chat. Then ask:
Claude will use the TryPost tools to fetch your posts.
Claude reaches remote MCP servers from Anthropic’s cloud, not from your browser or laptop. The hosted URL https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost is publicly reachable. Self-hosted instances must be exposed on the public internet (or tunneled) for Claude to connect.
Only an Owner (or Primary Owner) can add a custom connector to the organization:
  1. Open Organization settings → Connectors
  2. Click Add → Custom → Web
  3. Paste https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost (Client ID / Secret optional — leave empty for DCR)
  4. Click Add
Each member then opens Customize → Connectors, finds the connector labeled Custom, and clicks Connect to authorize their own TryPost account.
Claude is rolling out Request headers for custom connectors (beta). You can send a Personal Access Token as Authorization with the full value Bearer YOUR_API_KEY (include the Bearer prefix). Create the key from Settings > API Keys on the TryPost dashboard. Prefer OAuth for TryPost Cloud when both options work.
