  • OAuth: sign in with your Metricool account and approve access from your AI client.

  • Token and ID: provide the METRICOOL_USER_TOKEN and METRICOOL_USER_ID variables in your configuration.

Are posts published instantly or scheduled?

You choose. You can publish content immediately, schedule it for a specific date and time, or use the best-time publishing option recommended by Metricool.

Can I manage multiple brands?

Yes. The MCP includes the get_brands tool, which lets you list and select from the brands associated with your Metricool account.

Can I edit already scheduled posts?

Yes. You can modify posts that you have already scheduled using the update_schedule_post tool.

The MCP uses the same permissions and authentication systems as your Metricool account. You can revoke access at any time from your account settings. Your data is not stored in the AI model.

Is it open source? Where is the code?

Yes. The Metricool MCP server is public and available in the GitHub repository metricool/mcp-metricool, as well as published as a package on PyPI.
