# mcp-server

Social Neuron's MCP server hands your agent tools for content generation, post scheduling and social analytics. Useful if you publish without leaving the editor.

## What it does

The `@socialneuron/mcp-server` package runs a stdio server that exposes Social Neuron's toolset to an agent: video, image, voiceover and carousel generation, scheduling and rescheduling posts, per-platform analytics, comment handling, autopilot and a pre-publish quality check. Tools are grouped by job, from ideation and trends through to budget tracking and cleanup of scheduled items.

A Social Neuron Pro plan or higher is required before anything works — login fails without it. Authentication runs through `npx -y @socialneuron/mcp-server login --device`, which opens a browser and delivers the key back to the CLI once you approve. Credentials live in the OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Linux secret-tool); on Windows the file fallback at `~/.config/social-neuron/credentials.json` gets no strong permission enforcement on NTFS, so treat that key carefully. The package targets Node 20.20+ and Node 22.22+.

The hosted service and the npm package are not the same build. Hosted runs its own 3.0.0 contract with 92 tools, adding `get_account_status` and the Content Calendar and Analytics Pulse MCP Apps. The npm build carries 91 tools and swaps the apps for two local screen-capture tools. Apps render only in hosts that support the MCP Apps extension; elsewhere the same data and writes go through ordinary tool calls.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `SOCIALNEURON_API_KEY` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
