Post, schedule, and track social posts on X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Instagram and more from AI agents. Chirpie is one API for X/Twitter, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Threads, Mastodon, Instagram, Facebook and Telegram, covering posting, threads, scheduling, drafts, deletion and analytics. This MCP server puts all of it in front of Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or any other MCP-capable agent, so "post this to X and LinkedIn, and schedule the follow-up for 9am" is a single sentence rather than a pile of platform SDKs, OAuth dances and rate-limit handling.

Hosted server (recommended)

You don't need to install anything. Point your client at:

https://chirpie.ai/mcp

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http chirpie https://chirpie.ai/mcp

Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://chirpie.ai/mcp

Cursor: add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chirpie": {
      "url": "https://chirpie.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT: Settings → Connectors → Create → MCP server → https://chirpie.ai/mcp

Prefer a key over OAuth (CI, scripts, clients without an OAuth flow)? Send it as a header:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chirpie": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://chirpie.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer chirpie_sk_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

Local server (this package)

Run the same tool set locally over stdio.

npm install -g chirpie
chirpie login

Claude Code

claude mcp add chirpie -- npx @chirpie/mcp

Claude Desktop: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chirpie": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@chirpie/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor: add to your MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chirpie": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@chirpie/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The local server resolves credentials in this order:

CHIRPIE_API_KEY environment variable
~/.chirpie/config.json (written by chirpie login)

The CLI and this server share that config, so one chirpie login covers both.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`chirpie_upload_media`	Upload an image or video and get the id a post can attach. `idempotency_key` makes a retry safe
`chirpie_post`	Post to any connected account, now or scheduled, or to several at once. `configuration` publishes it as a story or a reel instead of a feed post; `timezone` reads a `schedule_at` with no offset in an IANA zone; `idempotency_key` makes a retry safe; `draft` saves it instead
`chirpie_thread`	Post a 2-25 part thread, to one account or to several at once. Takes `timezone` and `idempotency_key` too; `draft` saves it instead
`chirpie_list_posts`	List posts, filtered by status, account, or the group of a multi-account publish
`chirpie_get_post`	Fetch one post
`chirpie_update_post`	Edit a post that has not published yet, or finish a draft and schedule or publish it. `configuration` changes where it publishes
`chirpie_retry_first_comment`	Post a first comment that failed, again. `idempotency_key` makes a retry safe
`chirpie_delete_post`	Take a post down from the platform. Chirpie keeps it, marked deleted
`chirpie_hide_post`	Hide a post from your Chirpie listings. Nothing reaches the platform
`chirpie_unhide_post`	Put a hidden post back in your listings
`chirpie_list_accounts`	List connected social accounts, active and inactive
`chirpie_activate_account`	Activate an account so it can publish
`chirpie_deactivate_account`	Deactivate an account (stays connected, frees a plan slot)
`chirpie_disconnect_account`	Disconnect an account (ends the connection, cancels its scheduled posts, frees a plan slot)
`chirpie_analytics`	Engagement metrics for a published post. `refresh` asks the platform now instead of reading the stored snapshot, once per post every 30 minutes
`chirpie_create_key`	Create an API key, optionally narrowed with `scopes` so it can do less than yours
`chirpie_list_keys`	List API keys
`chirpie_revoke_key`	Revoke an API key
`chirpie_connect_x`	Connect X/Twitter (returns an authorization link)
`chirpie_connect_linkedin`	Connect a LinkedIn profile
`chirpie_connect_linkedin_pages`	Connect the LinkedIn Pages you administer (coming soon)
`chirpie_connect_threads`	Connect Threads (coming soon)
`chirpie_connect_instagram`	Connect Instagram (coming soon)
`chirpie_connect_facebook`	Connect a Facebook Page (coming soon)
`chirpie_connect_bluesky`	Connect Bluesky with an app password
`chirpie_connect_mastodon`	Connect Mastodon on any instance
`chirpie_connect_telegram`	Connect a Telegram bot
`chirpie_set_x_keys`	Register your own X developer app for connecting X accounts
`chirpie_get_x_keys_status`	Check whether your own X developer app is configured
`chirpie_remove_x_keys`	Remove your own X developer app

The hosted and local servers expose exactly the same tools. On the hosted server, chirpie_create_key, chirpie_list_keys, chirpie_revoke_key and chirpie_remove_x_keys require API-key auth. Sign in with OAuth and they are not offered, since an OAuth connection must not leave a long-lived key behind or tear down credentials your other connections depend on.

Several accounts in one call

chirpie_post and chirpie_thread take account_ids in place of account_id, up to 25 of them. The answer is then a group_id plus one result per account, in the order they were named, and account_configurations gives a single account its own text, media or thread. The accounts that worked stay published when another one's platform refuses, so an agent should read success on each result. Pass the group_id to chirpie_list_posts to read the whole group back.

First comment

chirpie_post and chirpie_thread take first_comment, a comment published under the post the moment it goes out. On a thread it is one comment for the whole thread, published under the last part. X, Threads, Instagram and Facebook only: anywhere else the call is refused with 400 first_comment_unsupported rather than the comment dropped. It counts as one post against the monthly quota.

On a multi-account call the shared first_comment reaches every account unless its account_configurations entry says otherwise: an entry naming a first_comment replaces it for that account, and "first_comment": "" publishes that account with none, which is how one call sends a first comment to the accounts that take one while an account whose platform has none still publishes the post.

Every post carries first_comment back, either null or { text, status, comment_id, error }, with status one of pending, posted and failed. A failed first comment never fails its post, so a published post can be carrying one that did not go out: chirpie_retry_first_comment sends it again, and chirpie_update_post changes the text or, with an empty string, removes it.

Stories, reels and other publishing options

chirpie_post, chirpie_thread and chirpie_update_post take configuration, the per-platform publishing options, keyed by platform. Instagram takes a feed post, a story or a reel, and a Facebook Page takes a feed post or a story. Leave it out and everything publishes to the feed. Instagram and Facebook are coming soon.

{
  "account_id": "...",
  "text": "Three minutes on how we schedule posts.",
  "media_ids": ["..."],
  "configuration": {
    "instagram": {
      "placement": "reel",
      "video_cover_timestamp_ms": 1500,
      "collaborators": ["a_co_author"],
      "share_to_feed": true
    }
  }
}

Each placement carries its own options:

instagram feed: up to 10 images, collaborators (at most 3 usernames) and user_tags, each of which needs both x and y.
instagram story: exactly one image or video, no caption (send empty text), no first comment and no collaborators. user_tags may carry coordinates or leave them out.
instagram reel: exactly one video and no images, plus collaborators, user_tags (the username on its own, since Instagram reads coordinates only on images and stories), cover or video_cover_timestamp_ms but never both, share_to_feed and trial_reel.
facebook feed: a link, shown as a preview.
facebook story: exactly one image or video, no text, no first comment and no link.

Nothing is dropped quietly: a block keyed on a platform that takes no options, or a field the chosen placement does not carry, is refused with 400 configuration_unsupported naming the platform and the field. A story and a reel are each a single post, so chirpie_thread refuses either placement. On a multi-account call one block serves every account of that platform, and an account_configurations entry naming its own configuration replaces it for that account. On chirpie_update_post an absent configuration keeps the options the post already has, and "configuration": {} puts it back to a plain feed post.

Drafts

draft: true on chirpie_post or chirpie_thread saves the content and sends nothing: no platform call, no quota, and a draft never publishes on its own. A draft is held to far less than a post, so the text may be empty and a draft thread may be a single part, and the answer carries a warnings list saying, per account, what would go wrong if it were sent as it stands.

Promote it with chirpie_update_post: schedule_at queues it, publish: true sends it now, and the two are never valid together. Promotion runs every rule a create runs and takes the quota, so anything refused leaves the draft exactly as it was.

Try it

Once connected, ask your agent:

"Post to X and LinkedIn: we just shipped v2, but keep the X one shorter."
"Draft a 5-post thread about why we moved off cron, and schedule it for 9am tomorrow."
"How did my last Bluesky post do?"
"Save that as a draft, I will pick the wording tomorrow."
"Connect my X account."
