PostFast MCP Server

MCP server for the PostFast API — schedule and manage social media posts via AI tools like Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and more.

Quick Start

1. Get your API key

Log in to PostFast, go to API in the sidebar, and generate a key.

2. Install

Choose your preferred method:

Claude Desktop (recommended)

Download the extension from the Claude Desktop extension directory or install manually:

1. Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postfast": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "postfast-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "POSTFAST_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Restart Claude Desktop.

Claude Code

Via plugin (pending marketplace approval):

/plugin install postfast@claude-plugins-official

After installing, set your API key — pick one of these:

# Option A: Add to your shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc)
export POSTFAST_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

# Option B: Add to ~/.claude/settings.local.json
# { "env": { "POSTFAST_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } }

Then restart Claude Code.

Via manual config:

Add to your project's .mcp.json or ~/.claude/.mcp.json (global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postfast": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "postfast-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "POSTFAST_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf / Other MCP clients

Add to your MCP config (.mcp.json, mcp.json, or the tool's settings UI):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postfast": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "postfast-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "POSTFAST_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Use it

Ask your AI assistant things like:

• "List my connected social accounts"
• "Schedule a post to Instagram for tomorrow at 9am"
• "Show me all scheduled posts for this week"
• "Upload this image and create a LinkedIn post with it"
