What the Metricool Social Media Management connector does
The Metricool MCP server connects a Metricool social media account to Claude, ChatGPT and any MCP-compatible agent. Anthropic's directory lists seven tools: five read analytics, brand settings and scheduled posts, and two write posts to live social accounts. Sign-in is OAuth, and the connector works on any Metricool plan including Free.

Tool names from Anthropic's directory listing. This server requires sign-in, so we could not read tool descriptions or parameter schemas.
Limits
- Two tools publish to live accounts.
createScheduledPostandupdateScheduledPostact on real social profiles. Metricool's confirmation mechanism is a link in the LLM's reply, not an approval step, so nothing blocks an agent from queueing a post you did not read. - The consent grant is wider than the tool list. Metricool documents nine permission categories, including inbox messages and post comments, Google Business Profile reviews, Smartlinks, autolists and folders in any connected Canva or Drive account. It describes the result as full access similar to signing in directly, and advises authorizing only tools you trust.
- You cannot revoke access from inside Metricool. Metricool's troubleshooting article states this directly; revocation happens in whichever AI client you authorized.
- Plan limits are not lifted by connecting. On the Free plan Metricool documents a ceiling of 20 scheduled posts and 30 days of analytics history. Metricool notes that an action failing or data looking incomplete after a successful connection is usually a plan limit rather than a connection fault.
- The Metricool API is a separate product on a higher tier. Programmatic HTTP access needs an Advanced or Custom plan. A client offering only token-based connection is using that path, not MCP.
- Client-side gates apply independently. Claude Free allows one custom connector at a time; Claude Code requires Pro or Max; Cursor's documented install path requires the desktop app; ChatGPT requires Apps access on the account. All four come from those vendors.
- Claude Desktop needs a workaround. Metricool documents an external Claude Desktop bug and directs users to
mcp-remoteinstead of the standard connector path. - No tool annotations or schemas are readable. The endpoint requires authentication, so
readOnlyHintanddestructiveHintflags, parameter schemas and per-tool descriptions are not available to an anonymous client. The read/write split above is inference from names and vendor prose. - The vendor's own source link is broken. Metricool's help centre and marketing page both point at a GitHub repository at
metricool/mcp-metricool, which returned HTTP 404 on 2026-09-08. Themcp-metricoolpackage on PyPI does resolve, at version 1.1.9, last uploaded 2025-10-07 — which is older than the connector surface described here. - Two networks figures disagree. Metricool's help centre enumerates ten networks and three ad platforms; Anthropic's directory description claims 13 networks. Both trace to Metricool.
Frequently asked questions
Can the Metricool MCP server publish posts to my real social accounts?
Yes. Two of the seven listed tools write, and what they write reaches live audiences. Metricool's own help centre states you can publish content immediately, schedule it for a date and time, or use its best-time option. The connector grants an AI client permission to see, create and publish posts in any connected network, so a scheduled post can go out publicly without a second confirmation step in Metricool.
Which Metricool plan do you need for the MCP server?
Any plan, including Free. Metricool's help centre states MCP access does not require a paid plan, and that your existing plan limits still apply afterwards. Free accounts cannot schedule more than 20 posts and reach only 30 days of analytics history. The separate Metricool API is a different product and needs an Advanced or Custom plan, so a token-based client path is not the same as MCP on Free.
How does the Metricool MCP server authenticate?
OAuth 2.0 with an authorization code grant, verified live on 2026-09-08. An anonymous request returned HTTP 401 with a Bearer challenge naming a resource metadata document, which advertises exactly two scopes. Metricool also documents two alternatives: a header token named X-Mc-Auth carrying your Metricool API key, used by N8N, and METRICOOL_USER_TOKEN with METRICOOL_USER_ID in a client configuration.
What can an AI client actually reach in my Metricool account after I connect?
More than the seven tools suggest. Metricool's help centre lists nine permission categories the authorization grants: brands and network connections, metrics and reports, creating and publishing posts, Smartlinks, inbox messages and post comments, Google Business Profile reviews, Ads campaigns, autolists, and folders in any connected Canva or Drive account. Metricool describes this as full access similar to signing in directly.
Which social networks does the Metricool MCP server support?
Metricool's help centre lists ten networks: Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky and Twitch, plus campaign data from Meta Ads, Google Ads and TikTok Ads. Anthropic's directory description instead claims 13 networks. The two figures come from the same vendor and disagree, so treat the help centre's enumerated list as the checkable one.
How do you revoke the Metricool MCP connector's access?
From the AI client, not from Metricool. Metricool's troubleshooting article states plainly that you cannot revoke that connector permission from inside Metricool, so you disconnect it wherever you authorized it. In Claude that is Settings, then Connectors, then the three-dot menu beside Metricool and Disconnect. Reconnecting means repeating the client's authorization steps.
Why does Claude Desktop fail to connect to the Metricool MCP server?
Metricool documents an external Claude Desktop bug that blocks the usual connection path, and gives mcp-remote as the workaround. You add a local server entry running npx mcp-remote against the Metricool endpoint, save the config and restart Claude Desktop. Claude.ai and Claude Desktop otherwise share one connection, and Claude Code connects separately over HTTP from the command line.
Why do Metricool's tool names differ between Anthropic's directory and Metricool's own pages?
Three vendor-facing surfaces disagree. Anthropic's directory snapshot lists camelCase names, Metricool's help centre writes create_scheduled_post and update_scheduled_post in snake_case, and its marketing page writes post_schedule_post and update_schedule_post. The server is gated, so no live handshake can break the tie. Ask your client which tools it loaded rather than relying on any published list.
