An MCP server lets an AI assistant — ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor — operate a social media scheduler directly: you ask in plain language, it schedules real posts on your real accounts. As of 26 July 2026, at least eight schedulers ship one. Four sign in with OAuth (Schedchie, Metricool, Outstand, Aidelly), four take an API key (Typefully, Postiz, ZocialOne, Socialync). Postiz reaches the most channels (30+). Schedchie is the cheapest full product underneath an MCP (€7.99/month, unlimited accounts and posts). The full comparison, with sources, is below.
Disclosure up front: Schedchie is our product and it is in this table. Every claim about a competitor was read off that competitor’s own MCP page on 26 July 2026 (Typefully and Postiz first verified 25 July), and each name links to the page, so you can check every row — including ours.
The census
| Tool | Auth | Platforms via MCP | What the MCP can do | Product underneath |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Schedchie (details) | OAuth 2.1 sign-in, no key to paste | 9: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky; X with the €4.99/30-posts add-on | 48 tools: schedule and edit posts with media and custom video covers, manage the queue, read analytics, run team approvals and client review links | €7.99/mo flat, unlimited accounts and posts |
| Postiz | API key | 30+ incl. Reddit, Discord, Telegram, Mastodon | Write, schedule and publish; generate and attach media; scoped to connected accounts | MCP included; free tier exists, paid tiers above |
| Metricool | OAuth2 custom connector | Its connected networks; posts land in the Metricool calendar for review first | Schedule with cross-platform adaptation; read analytics and competitor data | Free plan 1 brand/20 posts; Starter €16/mo monthly billing |
| Outstand | OAuth one-click or API key | 11 incl. Google Business | 27 tools: posts, replies, accounts, media upload, usage metrics | $19/mo base with a 3,000-post quota, then metered per post |
| Aidelly | OAuth bearer (production) | 11 incl. Google Business and Mastodon | Schedule, approval queues, AI inbox drafts, analytics summaries | See their pricing page |
| Socialync | Scoped per-profile keys, revocable | 8: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky | Draft, schedule, list scheduled posts; capped at 10 AI posts/day | $20/mo for 5 connected accounts |
| ZocialOne | API key | 7: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google Business, Pinterest, Threads | 44 tools incl. creative generation and a unified inbox | Included on paid tiers; priced in rupees, India-focused |
| Typefully | API key (“not OAuth”, their words) | Text-first: X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon — no TikTok, YouTube or Pinterest | Draft and schedule | Their pricing page renders no quotable figures; we link it rather than guess |
Every figure read off each vendor’s own pricing page on 26 July 2026; each tool name links to its source. Currency exactly as each vendor displays it — we do not convert. Simplified, Upload-Post, RobinReach, SocialClaw and PostEverywhere also advertise MCP servers; they are omitted from the table because we have not verified their specifics yet, not because they don’t exist. Prices move; if one of these is wrong now, tell us and we will fix it.
How to read that table
Auth is about friction, not security theatre. OAuth means you click sign-in and approve; an API key means you find it in settings and paste it into a config. Four of eight now do OAuth, so it is table stakes, not a differentiator — including for us.
Platform reach decides more than tool count. If your channels are Reddit, Discord or Telegram, Postiz is the only row that reaches them. If you are text-first on X, Typefully is built for exactly that, and X is included in its product while Schedchie prices X as a €4.99 add-on per 30 posts. If you need TikTok, YouTube or Pinterest — the video platforms — the rows that reach them are Schedchie, Outstand, Socialync and Aidelly.
Look at the caps and meters underneath. The MCP is free everywhere; the product under it is not. Socialync caps AI posting at 10 posts/day. Outstand meters past 3,000 posts/month. Metricool’s Starter covers 5 brands. Schedchie’s €7.99 has no account or post meter — the flat price is the actual differentiator we’d point at, not the MCP badge.
What Schedchie’s MCP does and does not do
It schedules and edits posts with media — including uploading video and setting custom covers — manages the queue, reads analytics, and runs team approvals and client review links, on any plan. It signs in from ChatGPT, Claude (web, Desktop, Code), Cursor or any MCP client. What it is not: Schedchie has no AI inside the product — no caption writer, no idea generator. The assistant you already pay for does the writing; Schedchie does the publishing. And there is no public REST API — the MCP is the integration surface.
FAQ: social media MCP servers
Which social media scheduler has an MCP server for ChatGPT and Claude?
As of 26 July 2026: Schedchie, Postiz, Metricool, Outstand, Aidelly, Socialync, ZocialOne and Typefully all ship one. Simplified, Upload-Post, RobinReach, SocialClaw and PostEverywhere advertise one too.
Which MCP servers sign in with OAuth instead of an API key?
Schedchie, Metricool, Outstand and Aidelly. Typefully, Postiz, ZocialOne and Socialync use keys.
Can ChatGPT or Claude post to TikTok and YouTube through MCP?
Yes, through a server whose product reaches those platforms: Schedchie, Outstand, Socialync or Aidelly. Text-first servers like Typefully cannot, because the product underneath has no TikTok or YouTube integration.
Does using an MCP cost extra?
In every row above the MCP itself is included; you pay for the scheduler under it. The cheapest flat product in the table is Schedchie at €7.99/month with unlimited accounts and posts; Postiz has a free tier if you want to try the pattern for nothing.
Is it safe to let an AI schedule my posts?
Every server here is scoped to the accounts you connected and cannot touch billing or credentials. Two extra safety patterns worth having: posts landing in a review calendar first (Metricool), and human approval workflows (Schedchie’s team approvals, Aidelly’s approval queues). Postiz says it plainly: keep a human in the loop.
