Capabilities
What can Claude do with PostlyBee?
The connector gives Claude the same tools as the PostlyBee AI assistant. Read tools only look at your workspace; write tools need the write access you approve at sign-in.
Schedule and save drafts
Schedule posts with text, images, and video to one or several channels, or save them as drafts for your team to review.
Follow each platform’s rules
Claude loads the post rules for each channel before it writes, including character limits, media types, and options like Pinterest boards.
Fill your posting schedule
Ask for the next open slots from your PostlyBee posting schedule and let Claude place posts into them.
Review what is planned
List drafts, scheduled, published, and failed posts for any date range, and update settings on posts that have not gone out yet.
Read your analytics
Pull account analytics and per-post insights, then ask Claude to compare channels and explain what performed best.
Create images and video
Import an image or MP4 from a public URL, or generate images and short videos for a post on the Growth plan and above.
How it works
How Claude uses PostlyBee
PostlyBee is a remote MCP server. When you add it as a connector, Claude gets a set of PostlyBee tools it can call during a chat, the same way it uses web search.
You never have to name a tool. Describe the post you want, and Claude picks the tools, checks the details, and asks you before anything is scheduled.
1. Checks your channels
Claude lists the social accounts connected to the workspace you approved, so it posts only where you have access.
2. Loads each platform’s rules
Before writing, it reads the channel’s post rules and options, such as character limits, media formats, or Pinterest boards.
3. Drafts and asks you to confirm
Claude shows you the text, media, channels, and time it plans to use, and waits for your go-ahead.
4. Schedules in PostlyBee
The post lands in your PostlyBee calendar, where you and your team can still review or edit it before it goes out.

Pricing and security
How much does it cost?
The connector is included in every paid PostlyBee plan, starting from $9.99 per month, with a 7-day free trial. AI image and video tools need the Growth plan or above.
How is access secured?
Claude signs in with OAuth 2.1 and only gets the workspace and access you approve. Choose read-only access if Claude should only view posts and analytics.
Something not working?
If Claude can see PostlyBee but cannot schedule, reconnect and approve write access. If it shows the wrong accounts, remove the connector and sign in to the right workspace.
