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 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.
