## What it does

BetterPost arrives as one MCP server plus a `betterpost` skill. Ask your agent for a newsletter, a blog article, a LinkedIn post, a tweet or a Bluesky entry, and it gathers recent sources around your subject, ranks them and writes the text with actual quotes and publication dates.

Setup differs by agent. In Claude the plugin brings both pieces: `/plugin marketplace add betterpost/betterpost-plugin`, then `/plugin install betterpost@betterpost`. Elsewhere `npx skills add betterpost/betterpost-plugin` drops in the skill alone, and the skill registers `https://betterpost.ai/mcp` the first time you request content. Any MCP client can also attach straight to that endpoint over Streamable HTTP.

A BetterPost account is required. The first call opens an OAuth 2.1 sign-in and the client keeps the session afterwards, so no token has to be copied or stored. New accounts come with free credits.
