Claude Code CLI
claude mcp add --transport sse catcaster https://www.catcaster.com/api/mcp
OAuth sign-in is recommended. Developer API keys in Settings → Developer work for clients that cannot open the browser consent flow. Keep a human in the loop before publish_post and send_inbox_reply.
What you can do with Claude Code
Weekly content script
Reuse a prompt file that calls prepare_weekly_content semantics: proposals → drafts → validation → proposed schedule.
Repo-adjacent launches
After shipping a feature, draft release posts from CHANGELOG snippets via create_post.
CI-friendly checks
Validate a draft post ID before merge; human still approves publish_post outside CI.
Bulk inbox drafts
Generate draft_inbox_reply batches for review in the CatCaster inbox UI.
Channels agents can reach
Example prompts
- Poll my highest-priority editorial source and summarize new proposals.
- List posts scheduled for the next 48 hours via list_calendar.
Agents should run validate_post and show drafts before scheduling or publishing. CatCaster MCP does not generate images or video—attach media the agent already has via upload_media or HTTPS URLs on create_post.
Frequently asked questions
- Is CatCaster preinstalled in ChatGPT or Claude?
- No. You add CatCaster as a custom MCP connector (or use OAuth from a client that supports remote MCP). Sign in with your CatCaster account when the client opens the consent flow.
- Will the agent publish without asking me?
- CatCaster expects a human in the loop. Agents should run validate_post and show drafts before schedule_post or publish_post. Inbox send_inbox_reply should only run after you explicitly approve the draft.
- Can agents generate images or video inside MCP?
- Not through CatCaster MCP today. Agents can attach media they already have via upload_media (HTTPS URL) or URLs on create_post. Image and video generation in the product UI is separate from MCP.
- What platforms can agents reach?
- Any channel already connected in your workspace—Instagram, Facebook, Threads, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Pinterest, and your CatCaster blog, subject to each platform’s API limits documented on our platform guides.
