How to set up and use Publer’s MCP server
Publer's MCP is now available in BETA with our top ambassadors and Enterprise customers. 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.
