How to set up and use Publer’s MCP server

Publer's MCP is now available on the Business and Enterprise plans. The MCP lets you connect Publer with MCP-compatible clients, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI tools, so they can help manage your workspace through a secure connection.


To set up Publer's MCP server:


  • Click on your profile dropdown in the top-right corner and go to Settings.



  • Click on AI & Automations.



  • Under AI & MCP, click on MCP. A new window will open with the MCP setup steps.



  • In the first step, add your API key.


If you already have an API key, paste it in the field.


  • If you do not have one yet, click Create an API key.



  • Add a name for your API key, so you can easily recognize it later.
  • Workspaces and Accounts are required by default.
  • Select any additional scopes you want to allow for the API key, such as Posts, Media, or Analytics.
  • Click Generate API Key.



  • Copy the generated API key and save it securely.
  • Check the confirmation box that says you have copied and saved the API key.



  • Click Done.
  • After adding the API key, Publer will generate your MCP server URL.
  • Copy the MCP server URL and paste it into your AI client’s connector settings.




  • You can also authenticate with the API key by using the authorization header shown in Publer.



  • Once everything is copied into your MCP-compatible client, save the connection.
  • You can now use MCP to connect your AI tool with Publer.
  • You can use any of these example prompts to get started with Publer MCP:


List all my connected Publer social accounts.
List all my Publer workspaces.
Show me all my draft posts in Publer so I can review what is pending.
Create a draft post for Instagram and Facebook that says: “Excited to share our latest update!”
Schedule a post for next Monday at 10 AM for my LinkedIn Page.


Keep in mind:


  • MCP access depends on your plan and account setup. At the moment it's available with the Top Ambassadors on the Enterprise plan.
  • Make sure to save your API key somewhere secure, as you may not be able to view it again later.
  • Do not share your API key or MCP server URL publicly.
  • The permissions available through MCP depend on the scopes selected when creating the API key.
  • If the connection does not work, you can remove the API key and create a new one from Settings > AI & Automations > MCP.
