TryPost provides a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI coding assistants manage your social media scheduling directly. Your AI assistant can create and publish posts, manage signatures and labels, fetch metrics, and more — all through natural language.

​
What is MCP?

MCP is an open protocol that connects AI assistants to external tools and data sources. Instead of copying and pasting API calls, your AI assistant can interact with TryPost directly.

​
Available tools

TryPost exposes a full set of MCP tools for end-to-end content workflows. See the Tools reference for parameters and examples.

​
How it works

MCP access on TryPost Cloud requires an active trial or subscription. New accounts get a 7-day trial automatically. See Plans & billing for details. Self-hosted instances skip this check.
1

Add the TryPost MCP server in your assistant

Use your assistant’s MCP configuration to add a remote HTTP server pointing to https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost. Each client guide below has the exact command or settings file.
2

Sign in through your browser

The first time the assistant calls a tool, TryPost opens a browser window asking you to sign in and authorize the connection. Click Allow and you’re done — the assistant holds the OAuth token from then on, with automatic refresh.
3

Start using natural language

Ask your assistant to manage your TryPost account. For example: “Create a new post for LinkedIn next Tuesday at 9am” or “List all my scheduled posts.”

​
Server URL

​
Authentication

TryPost’s MCP server uses OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration (DCR), PKCE, and the mcp:use scope. Modern MCP clients (Claude, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, GitHub Copilot in IDE, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Codex) detect this automatically from the .well-known discovery endpoints — you only point them at the URL and the browser sign-in handles the rest.
Personal Access Tokens from Settings → API Keys authenticate the REST API only. They are not accepted on /mcp/trypost. MCP requires an OAuth grant with the mcp:use scope (browser sign-in from a supported client). Manage connected assistants under workspace Settings → MCP.

​
Troubleshooting

Your OAuth grant is valid and the config is correct — the account behind it just doesn’t have an active trial or subscription. Open app.trypost.it, start a trial or pick a plan (7-day free trial), then reconnect the MCP server. Self-hosted instances skip this check.
The OAuth session expired and refresh failed, or the access token is missing/malformed/revoked. Re-run the assistant’s connect flow to sign in again.
The request used a Personal Access Token (API key) or an OAuth token without the mcp:use scope. Remove any Authorization: Bearer … API key from the MCP config and connect with OAuth instead. For scripts and CI, call the REST API with an API key — not the MCP endpoint.
Run the connection probe your assistant exposes (for example claude mcp list). The HTTP status from the probe tells you which case you’re in: 402 → see above; 401 → re-authenticate; 403 → use OAuth (not an API key); anything else → open an issue on GitHub.
Some clients print the authorize URL to the terminal instead of launching the browser when running over SSH or inside a container. Copy the URL into a local browser, complete the flow, and the assistant will pick up the callback automatically. If the callback port is blocked, use a client that can finish OAuth locally, or drive TryPost through the REST API with an API key.
