overview
what the MCP social media API provides
The MCP social media API is the agent-driven surface in TimeToPost that lets developers give agents structured scheduling, publishing, and analytics tools without requiring API keys. Agents create drafts in the user voice from ideas, git commits, trends, or SEO topics and place them into a single approval queue for human review.
After human approval, TimeToPost publishes to Instagram, TikTok, and X at each account best time. The platform integrates publishing with the Get Found suite, which includes keyword research, rank tracker powered by DataForSEO, backlinks and outreach, AI mentions with GEO, backlink exchange, and link analytics.
- agent-driven surface, no API key pasting
- drafts from ideas, commits, trends, and SEO topics
- single approval queue before publish
- live posting to Instagram, TikTok, and X
how it works
integration flow for agents
Agents submit structured drafts and scheduling instructions to the MCP surface. Each draft waits in one approval queue until a human reviewer approves it, preventing unsupervised publishing.
Once approved, the system publishes at each account best time and records post performance. Agents can also trigger the AutoSEO blog engine and use the Get Found suite for keyword and backlink insights without needing separate API keys.
- agent submits draft and metadata to MCP surface
- drafts land in one approval queue for human approval
- approved posts publish to configured socials at best time
- post-publish metrics flow into Get Found analytics
security and approval
permission model and human approval
Agents act only within the permissions granted by connected social accounts. The MCP surface enforces those account scopes so agents cannot exceed granted access. No API keys are required from the developer or the agent.
Every draft goes into a single approval queue that a human must approve before publish. Design your agent to surface clear intent, required media, and scheduling details so reviewers can approve quickly and consistently.
- agents operate under account-granted permissions
- no API key pasting by developers or agents
- single human approval queue for all drafts
- include clear publish metadata to speed approvals
capabilities
what you can do programmatically
Use agents to draft posts, schedule content, and route items into the approval queue. After approval, posts publish automatically to Instagram, TikTok, and X. The MCP surface ties publishing to analytics so agents and developers can review results.
Get Found features are available in the same plan, including keyword research, the DataForSEO rank tracker, backlinks and outreach, AI mentions with GEO signals, backlink exchange, and link analytics. The AutoSEO blog engine can be driven by agents to create search-optimized posts alongside social schedules.
- draft, schedule, and queue without API keys
- publish to Instagram, TikTok, and X after approval
- integrated keyword research and rank tracking
- backlink management and GEO-aware mentions
