How to connect Claude with Publer’s MCP

You can connect Claude with Publer's MCP. Once connected, you can use Claude to create drafts, schedule posts, manage your content, and interact with your Publer workspace directly from Claude.


To learn more about Publer's MCP and how it works, check out this guide.


Note: Publer's MCP integration is available on the Business and Enterprise plans.


To connect Claude with Publer:


  • Go to Settings in Publer.
  • Select AI & Automations.



  • Under AI & MCP, click on Claude.



You can connect Publer with either Claude Web/Desktop or Claude Code.


Claude Web/Desktop


To connect Publer with Claude on the web or desktop app:


  • Select the Claude Web/Desktop tab.



  • Under Get your API key, paste an existing Publer API key or click Create an API key.



  • If you're creating a new API key, give it a name and choose the permissions you want Claude to have.



  • Generate the API key and copy it.



Note: Keep your API key private and do not share it with anyone who should not have access to your Publer account.


  • Return to Settings > AI & Automations > Claude.
  • Paste your API key into the provided field.
  • Continue to the next step.



Publer will generate the MCP Server URL you need to connect Claude with your Publer workspace.


  • Open Claude Web/Desktop and go to Customize.



  • Select Connectors.



  • Click Add > Add custom connector.
  • Enter Publer as the connector name.
  • Paste the MCP Server URL provided by Publer.
  • Under Authentication, select No sign-in.


Important: Make sure to select No sign-in when connecting Publer. Your Publer MCP Server URL already includes the API key required for authentication, so you don't need to sign in separately through Claude.



  • Click Add to finish adding the connector.



Once added, Claude will be connected to Publer through the MCP Server URL.


  • Select the Publer workspace you want to use.



  • Once connected, you can start asking Claude to create, manage, or schedule content in Publer.



Claude Code


You can also connect Publer with Claude Code.


To do so:


  • Go to Settings > AI & Automations > Claude in Publer.
  • Select the Claude Code tab.



  • Paste an existing Publer API key or click Create an API key.
  • If you're creating a new API key, choose the permissions you want Claude Code to have.


Note: Keep your API key private, as it provides access to Publer based on the permissions assigned to it.




  • After adding your API key, Publer will provide the command needed to add the Publer MCP server to Claude Code.



  • Copy the command and run it in your terminal.
  • Start a Claude Code session and select the Publer MCP server.


Claude Code will be able to interact with your Publer workspace based on the permissions assigned to your API key.



What can you do with Claude and Publer?


Once connected, you can interact with your Publer workspaces directly from Claude.


For example, you can ask Claude to:


  • Create a draft post.
  • Schedule a post for one or multiple social accounts.
  • Check your scheduled posts.
  • View your connected social accounts and analytics.
  • Help you create content before scheduling it.
  • Manage supported Publer content directly from Claude.


For example:


Create a LinkedIn post about our latest product update and save it as a draft in Publer.


Or:


Schedule this Instagram post for tomorrow at 10 AM.


Claude will use Publer's MCP tools to carry out the request based on the permissions assigned to your API key and the access available in your Publer workspace.


Keep in mind:


  • When connecting Publer with Claude Web/Desktop, make sure to select No sign-in under Authentication.
  • Publer uses the API key included in the MCP Server URL for authentication, so you don't need to configure a separate sign-in method in Claude.
  • Claude can only perform actions supported by Publer's MCP and permitted by your API key.
  • The same social network requirements and limitations that apply when using Publer directly also apply when using Claude.
  • Keep your Publer API key and MCP Server URL secure.
  • Always review the account, content, and scheduling details before confirming important publishing actions.
  • You can manage or revoke your API keys at any time from Settings > API & Webhooks.
