Connect Claude
SimplePost is listed in Claude's connector directory. Connecting it adds SimplePost's hosted MCP server to Claude with OAuth. SimplePost is an independent product; it is not made or endorsed by Anthropic.
What you need
- A SimplePost account on the free trial or a paid plan.
- At least one social account connected in the SimplePost web app.
- A Claude plan that allows directory connectors. Which plans include connectors, and whether an organization allows them, is decided by Anthropic and your admin.
Connect your social accounts
Start the SimplePost trial and connect your networks under Accounts.
Open SimplePost in the Claude directory
Go to the SimplePost listing and choose Connect.
Authorize
Sign in to SimplePost with the same account and approve access.
Enable the connector in a chat
Turn on SimplePost for the conversation and ask Claude to list your accounts.
Workflow
Example: prepare, adapt and schedule with Claude
These prompts follow the SimplePost team's own recording in the Claude mobile app from 22 September 2026: check the week, draft for X and LinkedIn, adapt for Threads and Bluesky, schedule, then confirm on the calendar.
Show me my weekly schedule on SimplePost.
Result: Claude opens the SimplePost calendar and summarizes it: scheduled posts, published posts and the open slot.
Create a preview for a new post on X and LinkedIn explaining how easy it is to use SimplePost.
Result: Claude drafts the copy and shows a preview for both networks. Nothing is saved.
Now turn this into a thread for Threads and Bluesky.
Result: Claude builds platform previews of a four-part thread for Threads and Bluesky.
Schedule it for Friday 7 p.m., then show me my Friday schedule.
Result: Claude resolves the date in your timezone, creates the scheduled post and opens Friday in the calendar.

Publishing details
What Claude can do
- Read your connected SimplePost accounts and your calendar for any week and timezone.
- Turn one idea into per-network versions inside a single post.
- Show visual previews for unsaved content or saved posts.
- Schedule, publish, or save drafts, and report the result per account.
- Find, edit, reschedule or discard drafts and future scheduled posts.
Connect social accounts in the SimplePost web app. Engagement analytics and changes to already published posts stay on the social network.
Different versions for each network
- Claude keeps the network versions together in one SimplePost post: a shared message plus per-account overrides with different text, media or thread shape.
- Give Claude your constraints once ("LinkedIn: detailed, no emoji; X: one sentence; Bluesky: under 300 characters") and ask it to apply them to every post in the conversation.
- Claude can check the calendar before choosing a time. The calendar shows existing activity and your preferred posting slots; it does not predict engagement.
Sign-in and permissions
- Claude connects with OAuth. You approve access on a SimplePost page, and Claude receives a scoped token, never your password or social network tokens.
- Tokens expire after 90 days and can be revoked at any time. Disconnecting the connector in Claude's settings removes Claude's access.
- For a self-hosted SimplePost, add your own server's /mcp URL as a custom connector where your Claude plan supports it.
Publishing actions and tools
| Preview | show_post_preview renders previews in Claude where MCP Apps are supported, with a text fallback. |
|---|---|
| Schedule | create_post with a scheduled time; Claude converts "Friday 7 p.m." to an exact timestamp with your timezone. |
| Publish now | create_post publishes immediately and returns per-account results. |
| View scheduled posts | show_schedule and get_schedule for the calendar; inspect_posts for lists and single posts. |
| Update or cancel | update_scheduled_post and discard_scheduled_post for drafts and posts that have not started publishing. |
If something does not work
Claude finds no accounts
Connect a social account in the SimplePost web app, then ask again in the same conversation. Authorizing the connector does not connect social accounts.
A file cannot be read
The hosted server cannot read local paths. Use a public media URL, or upload the media in the web composer and let Claude handle the text.
A scheduled post failed
Ask Claude to inspect the post. The per-account result names the problem; reconnect expired accounts in the web app, then edit and retry.
The connector is not offered
Connector availability depends on your Claude plan and organization settings. The web composer works with the same accounts in the meantime.
