Claude integration · MCP

Run PosterAI from Claude

PosterAI ships an MCP server, so you can draft, schedule and manage posts across Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn just by chatting with Claude — no dashboard required.

Setup

Requires Node.js 18+. There's nothing to install manually — npx fetches the posterai-mcp package automatically.

How to install Node.js

Check what you have: node --version (should be 18 or higher). If it's missing or older, install it via:

Download the LTS installer from nodejs.org (works on macOS, Windows and Linux).
macOS (Homebrew): brew install node
Windows (winget): winget install OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS
Linux / version manager: nvm → nvm install 20

1
Create an API key in PosterAI → Settings.

Add it to your Claude client

Claude Code — run in your terminal:

claude mcp add posterai --env POSTERAI_API_KEY=pk_your_api_key -- npx -y posterai-mcp

Claude Desktop — add this to your config file, then save:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "posterai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "posterai-mcp"],
      "env": { "POSTERAI_API_KEY": "pk_your_api_key" }
    }
  }
}

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Replace pk_your_api_key with your key and restart Claude. The PosterAI tools will be available.
