## What it 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.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Remote server: `https://ihateposting.com/mcp/oauth`
- Environment variables: `IHATEPOSTING_API_KEY` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
