# Pallyy MCP server

Pallyy's MCP server connects the AI assistant you already use, such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, to a Pallyy account, so you can ask in plain language to see what's scheduled, draft and schedule posts, import media, and pin notes to the calendar. No code, on every paid plan.

## What it does

- Remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server at https://app.pallyy.com/mcp, the same capabilities and permission rules as the Pallyy API.
- Works with Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, and Cursor, which sign in with your Pallyy account. Any other MCP client connects with a Pallyy API key sent as a bearer token.
- Claude lists Pallyy in its connector directory (https://claude.ai/new#settings/customize-connectors/directory/pallyy), so connecting there is one click. ChatGPT and Cursor take the server URL as a custom connector.
- 14 tools, one per REST endpoint: list and get social sets; list, get, create, and update post sets; list and get media; import media from a URL and check the import; list, get, create, and update calendar notes.
- A single post can target Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn pages and personal profiles, Google Business, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, and Bluesky at once, each with its own caption and media.
- Every connection can read. Editing posts, publishing, uploading media, and editing notes are separate permissions the app requests and you approve. Publishing needs its own permission, so without it the assistant drafts and you publish in Pallyy.
- Access can be limited to specific social sets when you approve the app; everything else is invisible to it.
- Connected apps are listed under Settings > Connected Apps with their permissions, social sets, and last use, and can be disconnected in one click.
- Posts created or changed by an assistant show the app's name in post history.
- Plan limits (monthly posts, video and carousel availability, media allowance, approvals) apply to everything the assistant creates.
- Included on Pro, Agency, and Scale; not on the free plan.

## How to set it up

- Claude (web and desktop): Settings > Connectors > browse the connector directory (or open https://claude.ai/new#settings/customize-connectors/directory/pallyy), click Connect on Pallyy, then sign in and approve on the Pallyy page.
- Every other app uses the server URL: https://app.pallyy.com/mcp.
- Claude Code: run `claude mcp add --transport http pallyy https://app.pallyy.com/mcp`, then run /mcp in a session, pick Pallyy, and authenticate in the browser.
- ChatGPT: Settings > Connectors (turn on Developer mode under Advanced settings if there is no Create button) > Create, name it Pallyy, paste the URL, keep OAuth, save, and approve on the Pallyy page.
- Cursor: Cursor Settings > Tools & MCP > New MCP server, or add `{"mcpServers":{"pallyy":{"url":"https://app.pallyy.com/mcp"}}}` to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, then click the login prompt and approve.
- Any other client: create an API key under Settings > API keys and send it as `Authorization: Bearer pallyy_...` on the server URL; no sign-in step.
- On the Pallyy consent page you see what the app can do, choose which social sets it may reach (all or selected), and click Authorize.

## What you can ask

- See what's scheduled: "What's going out for BeanHouse Café this week?", "Which posts are still waiting for client approval?"
- Draft and schedule posts: "Draft an Instagram and LinkedIn post for Friday 9am with the latte photo.", "Move Monday's post to Tuesday and shorten the caption."
- Import media: "Add this product photo to the library and use it in Thursday's post."
- Calendar notes: "Add a note on the 14th that the product launch is that day.", "Remind the team every Monday for the next eight weeks to batch content."
- Any post the assistant finds or creates can be opened in Pallyy at https://app.pallyy.com/dashboard/scheduling/calendar/month?set=SOCIAL_SET_ID&post=POST_SET_ID.

## Common questions

- What is an MCP server: A service an AI assistant controls through the Model Context Protocol, with a fixed set of tools; Pallyy's gives assistants 14 tools over social sets, posts, media, and notes.
- Which apps work: Claude (one click from its connector directory), Claude Code, ChatGPT, and Cursor with Pallyy sign-in; any other MCP client with an API key.
- Do I need to be a developer: No; click Connect in Claude's directory or paste one URL elsewhere, sign in, approve.
- Which plans include it: Pro, Agency, and Scale; not the free plan.
- Can it publish without me: Only with the publish permission; otherwise it drafts and you publish. It cannot delete posts.
- What can it do: List social sets and posts, create and edit posts for one or several networks, import media from a link, create and edit notes. It cannot read analytics or answer comments and messages.
- Which networks: Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Google Business, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, and Bluesky.
- How is it different from the API: Same capabilities and rules; the API is for software you build with API keys, the MCP server is for AI assistants with ready-made tools and account sign-in.
- How do I disconnect: Settings > Connected Apps > Disconnect; access ends immediately and you can reconnect by approving again. One connection per app per account.
- Does it cost extra: No charge beyond your plan; posts count toward the monthly limit, and the AI app may have its own requirements for custom connectors.
