3. Start using

Ask Claude: "What content should I post this week?" or "Schedule my latest video to YouTube and TikTok"

What You Can Do

Ask Claude things like:

• "Generate 5 content ideas about sustainable fashion for Gen Z"
• "Create a 30-second video ad for my product launch"
• "Schedule this post to X and Bluesky at 9am tomorrow"
• "Show me my best-performing content this month"
• "What are the trending topics in my niche right now?"
• "Check my analytics and suggest improvements"
• "Set up autopilot to post 3 times per week"

Authentication

Three auth methods, in order of recommendation:

Device Code (Recommended)

npx -y @socialneuron/mcp-server login --device

Opens browser, you approve, CLI receives API key automatically.

Browser Flow

npx -y @socialneuron/mcp-server login

Browser-based OAuth flow.

API Key Paste

npx -y @socialneuron/mcp-server login --paste

Generate a key at socialneuron.com/settings/developer, paste it in.

Keys are stored in your OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Linux secret-tool) or file fallback.

Windows users: The file fallback (~/.config/social-neuron/credentials.json) does not have strong permission enforcement on NTFS. For production use on Windows, set the SOCIALNEURON_API_KEY environment variable instead.

Pricing

MCP access requires a paid plan:

Plan	Price	Credits/mo	MCP Access
Free	$0	50	—
Starter	$19/mo	500	—
Pro	$49/mo	1,500	Read + Analytics + Write + Distribute
Team	$99/mo	3,500	Full + 5 keys
Agency	$249/mo	10,000	Full + 20 keys + REST API

Sign up at socialneuron.com/pricing.

Scopes

Each API key inherits scopes from your plan. Tools require specific scopes to execute.

Scope	What you can do
mcp:read	Analytics, insights, brand profiles, content plans, quality checks, screenshots, usage stats, credit balance
mcp:write	Generate content (video, image, voiceover, carousel), create storyboards, save brand profiles, plan content
mcp:distribute	Schedule posts, publish content plans
mcp:analytics	Refresh analytics, YouTube deep analytics
mcp:comments	List, reply, post, moderate, delete comments
mcp:autopilot	Configure and monitor automated scheduling
mcp:full	All of the above

CLI Reference

These commands run directly in your terminal — no AI agent needed. Useful for scripts, CI/CD, and quick checks.

After global install (npm i -g @socialneuron/mcp-server), use socialneuron-mcp directly. Otherwise, prefix with npx @socialneuron/mcp-server.

Automation Flow (E2E Loop)

The full autonomous content loop using MCP tools:

• get_loop_summary — assess project state (content count, scheduled posts, insights)
• plan_content_week — generate a content plan based on insights and trends
• generate_video / generate_image — create media assets from the plan
• check_status — poll async jobs until assets are ready
• schedule_post — distribute content to connected platforms
• (wait for analytics collection) — platform data is fetched automatically
• refresh_platform_analytics — trigger a manual analytics refresh
• get_performance_insights — read what worked and what didn't
• Loop back to step 1 with new insights

Each iteration produces smarter content as performance data feeds back into the planning step.

Security

• All API keys are hashed before storage — we never store plaintext keys
• Credentials stored in your OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Linux secret-tool) or environment variable
• SSRF protection on all URL parameters with DNS rebinding prevention
• Rate limiting per user with per-tool limits for expensive operations
• Agent loop detection prevents runaway automation
• Set DO_NOT_TRACK=1 to disable anonymous usage telemetry

See SECURITY.md for our vulnerability disclosure policy and credential safety details.

Telemetry

This package collects anonymous usage metrics (tool name, duration, success/failure) to improve the product. Your user ID is hashed before transmission.

To disable: Set DO_NOT_TRACK=1 or SOCIALNEURON_NO_TELEMETRY=1 in your environment.

No personal content, API keys, or request payloads are ever collected.

Examples

See the examples repo for prompt-driven workflow templates:

• Weekly content batch planning
• Cross-platform content repurposing
• Performance review and optimization loops
