By the end of this page, Claude Desktop can list your scheduled posts, draft new ones, attach supported files when the client provides them to the MCP, schedule them, and read your analytics — all from a normal conversation.

​
1. Create an API key

1

Open Settings

Sign in to app.magicpost.in and go to Settings → API & MCP.
2

Create a key

Click Create a key, name it (e.g. Claude Desktop), and submit.
3

Copy the token

The cleartext token (mp_...) is shown exactly once. Copy it now — you won’t be able to see it again. The reveal dialog also includes a ready-to-paste claude_desktop_config.json snippet.

​
2. Configure Claude Desktop

1

Open the config file

Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS (or the equivalent on Windows/Linux).
2

Add the MCP server

Paste this block (the create-key dialog has it pre-filled with your token):
Claude Desktop talks to MCP servers over stdio. mcp-remote is a tiny npm bridge that proxies stdio ↔ HTTP so you can connect to remote MCP servers. It runs locally and only forwards your requests.
3

Restart Claude Desktop

Fully quit (Cmd+Q on macOS, not just close the window) and relaunch. A new MCP server magicpost should appear under the tools indicator.

​
3. Try it

In any conversation, ask things like:
  • “List my scheduled posts on MagicPost”
  • “Summarize my LinkedIn analytics for the last 30 days”
  • “Create a draft: ‘My first post via Claude’”
  • “Create a draft from this text, attach this image, then schedule it for tomorrow at 14:00” (attach the file to the conversation before sending)
  • “Schedule post xyz for tomorrow 14:00” (Claude will warn you if you already have other posts that day before going through)
Media attachment depends on the MCP client exposing the uploaded file as a temporary file reference. If the client does not offer the file to the attach_media_to_post tool, create the draft in chat and add the media from the MagicPost web app.
If Claude says it doesn’t have access to your data, the MCP server probably didn’t load — check the config file syntax and that mcp-remote is reachable (your machine needs npx).
