How do you connect Claude to PlatPost?

What can Claude do in PlatPost?

Claude is an AI assistant that speaks MCP. You can use it in a terminal as Claude Code, in a browser, or from your own script through the Claude API MCP connector.

PlatPost gives it a small set of tools through MCP, and each tool does one job.

• Read your Business Brain: what you sell, who your customer is, your voice and your goal.
• List your connected channels, so it knows where you post.
• Read your recent posts with their status, text, schedule and live link, so it can match how you write.
• Write a post as a draft. You review it in PlatPost as you would your own.
• Upload an image, a GIF, a video or music that it made with its own tools. The file appears in the composer under From your agent.
• Send you a message in the agent chat on every page, and read your replies.
• With the schedule right on, schedule a post for a time up to one year ahead. With the publish right on, post at once.

How do I connect Claude Code to PlatPost?

Run once in a terminal. On Windows PowerShell, write $env:PLATPOST_KEY.

1. Open the Agents page in PlatPost and make a key. Leave schedule and publish off for now.
2. Copy the key. PlatPost shows it once.
3. Put the key in the environment variable PLATPOST_KEY on your computer. On Windows PowerShell, the variable is $env:PLATPOST_KEY.
4. Run the command below once in a terminal.
5. Then ask Claude: "Read my PlatPost Business Brain and draft three posts about this week."

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user platpost https://platpost.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $PLATPOST_KEY"

How do I connect Claude in a web browser?

The Agents page has a Quick connect button for Claude. It puts a setup prompt on your clipboard and opens Claude in a new tab. Read the prompt before you send it.

The prompt never contains your key. It tells the agent to read the key from PLATPOST_KEY, and never to write the key into a file or back into the chat. These are the address and the header it names:

URL:    https://platpost.com/api/mcp
Header: Authorization: Bearer <your key>

Can Claude post without my approval?

Not with a new key. A new key can read and write drafts only, and every draft waits for you in PlatPost.

You can turn on two more rights for one key: schedule posts, and publish posts at once. Each right is a separate choice, because an agent that posts skips your approval. On the Free plan, Claude can read and draft, but it cannot schedule or publish until you choose a plan.

Is it safe to give Claude a PlatPost key?

An agent runs in a loop and does not get tired, so every limit is a number in the code.

• PlatPost stores only a one-way hash of the key. Nobody can read the key back, PlatPost included.
• Claude acts only in your own workspace. It cannot see another account.
• The tools have no file, code, database or shell access, and nothing the agent sends runs as code.
• A workspace takes at most 100 agent drafts and 20 agent posts in 24 hours, so a runaway loop stops at a number.
• You can remove a key on the Agents page at any time. The agent loses access at once.

What should I ask Claude to do?

An agent works best with one clear job. These requests use only the tools above.

• "Read my PlatPost Business Brain and draft three posts about this week."
• "Draft a LinkedIn post and an X post about our new feature. Keep both as drafts."
• "List my scheduled posts for next week and tell me which days are empty."
• "Read my last ten posts and tell me which topics I repeat too often."

What if Claude cannot connect?

Each line below names a case, and then what to do about it.

• Claude says the key is missing. Set PLATPOST_KEY in the same terminal or app that runs it, then start it again.
• Claude says the key is refused. The key was removed or copied wrong. Make a new key on the Agents page, because an old key cannot be shown again.
• Claude cannot schedule a post. The key has no schedule right, or the workspace is on the Free plan.
• Claude stops making drafts. The workspace reached 100 agent drafts in 24 hours. The count frees up as the day moves on.

Questions people ask

Which versions of Claude work with PlatPost?

Claude Code, Claude in a web browser, and your own script through the Claude API MCP connector. Each one connects to the same address with the same key rules.

Can Claude Code schedule posts for me?

Only if you turn on the schedule right for its key on the Agents page. A new key reads and writes drafts only.

Does Claude need a paid PlatPost plan?

Not to read and draft. Claude can read your Business Brain and write drafts on any plan. Scheduling and publishing need a paid plan.

Does Claude write in my voice?

Claude can read your Business Brain and your recent posts before it writes, so its drafts can follow your voice. You still edit and approve every draft.

Can Claude see my passwords or my other accounts?

No. A key reaches only your own workspace, and the tools have no file, code, database or shell access.

How do I stop Claude?

Remove its key on the Agents page. The agent loses access at once, and the drafts it already wrote stay in PlatPost.

Does a post on X from Claude cost the same as my own?

Yes. A post on X that Claude schedules or publishes takes the same X price from your wallet as a post you make yourself.
