## What it does

The skill connects an agent to Publora’s MCP server for creating and scheduling posts on YouTube, Facebook Pages, and Mastodon. Every YouTube post needs a video, and Facebook publishing is limited to Pages rather than personal profiles. Mastodon posts have a 500-character limit.

For agents that support OAuth, add the MCP server and sign in to Publora; other connection methods may require an API key. In Claude Code, add the server with `claude mcp add --transport http --scope user publora https://mcp.publora.com/mcp`, then run `/mcp` to sign in. The skill also includes REST API examples for cases where MCP is unavailable. A text-only post will not work on YouTube.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add publora/skills --skill social-post -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/social-post/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/social-post/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add publora/skills --skill social-post -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/social-post/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add publora/skills --skill social-post -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/social-post/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install publora/skills social-post

```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/publora/skills --path skills/social-post
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add publora/skills --skill social-post -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/publora/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/social-post/SKILL.md

# Social Post (YouTube, Facebook, Mastodon)

Create and schedule posts to YouTube, Facebook Pages, and Mastodon using the Publora MCP server. This skill covers platforms that work through standard posting without platform-specific complexity.

## Prerequisites

**Plans:** Works on the free Starter plan. Current limits and pricing: [publora.com/pricing](https://publora.com/pricing).

### Getting Started

1. **Create account** at [publora.com/register](https://publora.com/register) (free)
2. **Connect platforms** via OAuth in [Publora Dashboard](https://app.publora.com/dashboard):
   - **YouTube**: Google OAuth (requires YouTube channel)
   - **Facebook**: Facebook OAuth (Pages only, not personal profiles)
   - **Mastodon**: OAuth (mastodon.social instance)
3. **Get an API key** at [app.publora.com/dashboard/api](https://app.publora.com/dashboard/api), only if your agent cannot sign in with OAuth or you will use the REST API fallback below
4. **Connect your agent** to the MCP server at `https://mcp.publora.com/mcp`:
   - **Upgrading a manual connection without `/mcp`:** Claude treats `https://mcp.publora.com` as a different server from the bundled one. Change that existing connection to `https://mcp.publora.com/mcp` in its current scope, preserving its authentication and chosen account; sign in again if requested. Alternatively, verify the bundled connection uses the intended account, then remove only the old manual entry. Do not add a second entry or delete credentials automatically.
   - **Publora tools already available** (the `publora-skills` plugin or the Publora connector in Claude): nothing to set up. Claude asks you to sign in to Publora the first time a tool runs.
   - **Agents that support OAuth** (Claude Code, Cursor, and the Claude and ChatGPT apps): add the server by URL and sign in, no API key needed. In Claude Code, add it and then run `/mcp` to sign in:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user publora https://mcp.publora.com/mcp
```

   - **Agents without OAuth:** send the API key as `Authorization: Bearer sk_YOUR_API_KEY`:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user publora https://mcp.publora.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer sk_YOUR_API_KEY"
```

   Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw and the claude.ai connector each need a different config file or flow: see [client setup](https://docs.publora.com/mcp/client-setup) for the exact path and snippet.

### REST API Fallback

If MCP is unavailable, use the REST API directly:

**Base URL:** `https://api.publora.com/api/v1`

**Authentication:** `x-publora-key` header

```bash
# Get connected platforms
curl -X GET "https://api.publora.com/api/v1/platform-connections" \
  -H "x-publora-key: sk_your_api_key"

# Create a post
curl -X POST "https://api.publora.com/api/v1/create-post" \
  -H "x-publora-key: sk_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "platforms": ["youtube-UCxxx", "facebook-123456", "mastodon-789"],
    "content": "Your post content",
    "scheduledTime": "2026-03-25T10:00:00Z"
  }'
```
