Step by step
Prompt to copy once PostWire is connected: Write a post about our Saturday opening for Instagram and TikTok, show me both, and schedule it for Friday 9:00 New York time.
- Add PostWire to Claude
From Claude's connector directory press Connect (web, desktop or phone), or in Claude Code run
claude mcp add --transport http postwire https://postwire.io/api/mcp. Then sign in with your email — a 6-digit code, no card. - Connect the networks you post to
"Connect my LinkedIn and Bluesky" — each gives a one-hour link. Live networks: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn (personal profiles), Facebook Pages, Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram and Discord.
- Tell Claude your time zone
Scheduling needs a time with an offset (run_at, ISO 8601, up to 365 days ahead). Say "I'm in Lima" or "9:00 New York time" once and Claude uses it.
- Schedule one post
"Write a post about our new menu for LinkedIn and Instagram and schedule it for Friday 9:00." Claude shows the drafts, you approve, and
schedule_postqueues it. Instagram, TikTok and YouTube need a photo or video — Claude gives you an upload link for it. - Or plan the whole week
"Plan next week of posts about our bakery for LinkedIn and Bluesky, 9 am."
plan_weekwrites up to 7 days, a different angle each day, one version per network, and queues them. It is for text networks; video networks are scheduled one post at a time. - Check and change the queue
"What's scheduled?" →
list_scheduled_posts. "Cancel Friday's post" →cancel_scheduled_post. The same queue is on the dashboard's Queue page, with Reschedule and Cancel.

From an AI agent instead of a chat
Any MCP client or agent framework can use the same server (https://postwire.io/api/mcp, Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 or an API key). Without MCP, the REST call is:
curl -X POST https://postwire.io/api/schedule \
-H "Authorization: Bearer pw_live_…" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"run_at":"2026-10-09T09:00:00-05:00","platforms":["linkedin","bluesky"],"text":"Launch day.","label":"Launch"}'Configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and Windsurf are on MCP client configs; a guide your agent can follow is agent.md.
