Posta is for developers, AI agents, automation engineers, and the creators they support — anyone who treats social posting as a pipeline rather than a manual task. Plug Posta into an MCP server, an n8n workflow, a Claude Code skill, or the REST API and let the agent do the rest.

What is the Posta MCP server?

Posta ships an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so any MCP-capable client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or your own agent — can create, schedule, and publish social media posts as tool calls. One install (npx posta-mcp), one token, every supported network.

Does Posta work with n8n?

Yes. The n8n-nodes-posta community node turns every Posta endpoint into a typed n8n node. We publish ready-to-fork workflows for blog-to-social, YouTube-to-social, product launch campaigns, and LinkedIn carousel generation — wire any trigger to Posta in a few clicks.

Can I post to social media from Claude Code or the terminal?

Yes. The Posta Claude Code skill lets you create, schedule, and publish posts straight from your terminal or IDE using natural-language slash-commands. No dashboard required, no context-switch from your editor.

Does Posta publish directly to social networks?

Yes. Posta publishes directly to LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, Bluesky, and Threads via each platform's official API, and fires HMAC-signed webhooks back to your agent when posts go live — so closed-loop pipelines know exactly when they can act on a result.

How is this different from Buffer, Hootsuite, or Later?

Those tools are dashboards designed for humans clicking buttons. Posta is API-first and agent-first: full public REST API on every paid tier, HMAC-signed outbound webhooks, an MCP server, a Claude Code skill, and an n8n community node — none of which the dashboard-led incumbents ship.

Can I influence the roadmap?

Yes. Early users help shape integrations, workflow and pricing. Tell us how you work and what your current agent stack looks like when you request access.

Are there ready-to-fork n8n workflows for social media?

Yes. Posta publishes ready-to-fork n8n workflows for blog-to-social, YouTube-to-social, product-launch campaigns, and LinkedIn carousel generation. Each includes the .json export, the node chain, setup time, and required credentials.

n8n Node for Social Media: One Node, 8 Networks

Install n8n-nodes-posta and every social network becomes a typed node in your n8n workflows. LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, Bluesky, Threads — one auth, every channel. Open source, free, and on the official npm registry.

Install in 60 seconds

On self-hosted n8n, add the community node from settings and restart. On n8n Cloud, community nodes are available from the Pro plan upward. Then create a Posta credential with your API token.

# Self-hosted n8n
Settings → Community Nodes → Install
  npm package: n8n-nodes-posta
  → Save → restart n8n

# Then add a Posta credential
Credentials → Add → Posta
  API token: posta_xxx (get one at /app/settings/api)

Operations the node exposes

Create Post

Draft, scheduled, or immediate. Pick one or many connected accounts, attach media, set platform-specific config.

Schedule Post

Move a draft to a future timestamp. Time-zone safe, with calendar collision-checking.

List Accounts

Iterate connected social accounts to fan out a post across every channel.

Get Post Status

Poll a queued or processing post — though webhooks are usually a better trigger.

Upload / List Media

Push assets into the media library and reference them by ID across multiple posts.

List Posts

Pull a window of drafts, scheduled, or posted history for reporting workflows.

Ready-to-fork workflows

Each is an export-ready n8n JSON with the node chain, setup time, and required credentials documented. Fork, swap your accounts in, run.

Blog → Social media →

Reads your blog RSS feed, builds a post with the article image, schedules across every connected account.

YouTube → Social media →

Drafts promo posts for your newest YouTube video on every platform with AI-written captions.

Product launch campaign →

Turns one product into a 5-day, multi-platform launch campaign with per-network captions.

Blog → LinkedIn carousel →

Summarises an article into a swipeable LinkedIn carousel PDF, end to end.

Example workflow

A minimal n8n workflow that watches an RSS feed, drafts a LinkedIn caption with OpenAI, and schedules it through Posta:

RSS Trigger              → new blog post detected
  └─ OpenAI               → "Draft a LinkedIn caption from this excerpt"
       └─ Posta            (operation: Create Post)
             account: LinkedIn
             caption: ={{$json.caption}}
             mediaUrl: ={{$json.image}}
             scheduleFor: tomorrow 9am CET

Why a typed node?

Typed parameters

Caption, schedule, accounts, media — all surfaced as proper n8n inputs with validation. No copy-pasting API docs.

Credential management

One Posta credential per n8n instance, reused across every workflow. No token-juggling in HTTP nodes.

Rate-limit-aware retries

Posta handles platform rate limits and 5xx hiccups internally — the node surfaces final status, not the noise.

Per-platform caption limits

Truncation enforced per network — Bluesky 300, Threads 500, LinkedIn 3000 — without you parsing the limits.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Posta n8n community node?

n8n-nodes-posta is an official community node that turns every Posta API endpoint into a typed, drag-and-drop n8n node. Drop it into a workflow alongside your other n8n nodes — RSS, OpenAI, HTTP, Schedule — and post to eight social networks without writing HTTP requests. Source on GitHub; package on npm.

How do I install n8n-nodes-posta?

Self-hosted n8n: Settings → Community Nodes → Install, paste n8n-nodes-posta, restart. n8n Cloud: community nodes are available on the Pro plan. Add a Posta credential with your API token and the node appears in the picker.

What operations does the node support?

Create Post, Schedule Post, List Accounts, Get Post Status, Upload Media, List Media, List Posts. Each maps to a typed Posta endpoint.

Are there example workflows?

Yes — see the workflow gallery. Each is an export-ready n8n JSON with the node chain, setup time, and required credentials documented.

Why a typed node instead of HTTP Request?

Typed parameters, credential management, retry semantics on platform rate limits, and platform-aware caption limits all come for free. The HTTP node makes you re-implement them per workflow.
