iHatePosting — Claude Code MCP server for social posts
A hosted MCP server plus a skill: your agent drafts, checks and schedules posts across 14 networks through your iHatePosting account.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://ihateposting.com/mcp/oauthWhat iHatePosting does
iHatePosting links an agent to your ihateposting.com account and exposes 16 tools. Drafting, scheduling, publishing, pre-flight checks, per-network rules, media handling, channel reports. Nothing leaves as a live post until you ask for it — a new post lands as a draft unless you request immediate or timed publishing.
Signing in with your iHatePosting account replaces an API key. On Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and GitHub Copilot the server is added at https://ihateposting.com/mcp/oauth, and you authenticate in the browser. The other route runs npx -y ihateposting-mcp with IHATEPOSTING_API_KEY, which means fetching that key from your account first.
The validate_post tool runs the same checks the publisher runs and creates nothing. It also flags a network with no connected account, or one that needs reconnecting. A time like "9:00 AM" is read in the timezone from your iHatePosting settings rather than your machine — get that setting wrong and posts go out at the wrong hour.
What it helps with
- prepare one post for several networks at once
- check text and media before anything is published
- schedule a post for a specific time
- rewrite a failed post and resend only that one
- review reach and top posts per channel
Example prompts for the agent
- Draft a post about the release and show me what fails validation
- Publish this text to X and LinkedIn tomorrow at 9:00 AM
- Show what happened to my posts over the last 7 days
