Best social media MCP servers for posting

For agents. An MCP server plus a REST API, and — uniquely here — the option to run the whole thing on your own machine, which is the only way to get an MCP server whose data never leaves your infrastructure.

Why here. The MCP server is on the entry paid plan, and self-hosting makes it free of a subscription entirely — at the cost of running it.

Where it beats us. Far more networks than we support, an AI copilot and image generation in the paid tiers, and a real picture editor. The catch is the one every self-hosted tool has: the platform API keys, the upgrades and the 3 a.m. token expiry are yours.

Pick this if owning the deployment is a requirement, or you need a network nobody else on this page publishes to.

For agents. An MCP server their pricing page lists from the free plan up — the only other product here that does not put it behind a paid tier.

Why here. Reachable on a free plan, like ours; below us only because that free plan excludes LinkedIn and X, which is most of what an agent is asked to post to.

Where it beats us. Much stronger analytics than ours — competitor tracking, ad-platform data, PDF and Looker Studio reports. If your accounts are one per network, a single brand covers them all and it is cheaper than we are.

Pick this if reporting is the actual job and posting from an assistant is a bonus.

For agents. An MCP server that drives the queue you already have. Their pricing page lists the support without saying which plan it starts on, so we do not claim one — tool coverage is narrower than an API-first product’s either way.

Why here. Placed on the strength of the free plan they do publish — but that plan is three channels with ten scheduled posts each, which an agent runs out of quickly, and the plan the connector needs is not stated.

Where it beats us. A free plan that never expires, replying to comments on every plan, and three networks we do not publish to. Below three channels it is cheaper than we are.

Pick this if you already run Buffer and want an assistant driving the queue rather than a new tool.

For agents. A hosted MCP server with OAuth sign-in, and a REST API sold as a paid add-on. The MCP tools cover posting, media, results and analytics.

Why here. The MCP server needs a paid plan; there is no free tier to reach it on.

Where it beats us. A content studio with video templates that we have no answer to, bulk video scheduling, and an unlimited-accounts plan we do not offer at any price. Their public review wall is social proof we have not earned.

Pick this if you run more accounts than any per-account plan prices sensibly, or you want the video studio.

For agents. Connectors through their own AI assistant rather than a general-purpose MCP endpoint you point Claude at. Read their plan page for what it covers before assuming parity.

Why here. Their entry plan is $99/month, so it is the most expensive way on this page to give an assistant posting rights.

Where it beats us. Three product areas we do not have at all, unlimited accounts from the second tier, and team tooling built for organisations rather than people.

Pick this if a team already lives in Hootsuite and the inbox and approvals matter more than the connector does.

For agents. MCP and API support their pricing page lists on the Enterprise plan only, at custom pricing.

Why here. Last on this page’s criterion by a wide margin: an Enterprise quote is the highest bar here for reaching a connector.

Where it beats us. SOC 2 Type 2, SAML single sign-on and audit logs, none of which we hold, plus review management across Google, Trustpilot and the app stores.

Pick this if procurement needs the compliance paperwork and the connector is a detail rather than the reason.
