# Social media MCP server for AI apps

Canonical: https://status200uploads.com/integrations/mcp

Checked on 26 October 2026.

Status 200 Uploads runs a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.status200uploads.com/mcp. An AI app that signs in to it gets 17 tools: it can list your accounts, find, upload or import media, check a post before sending it, publish or schedule it to the networks you connected, retry a failed post, and read your post history and the numbers each post earned. Nothing to install or host.

Tested on 13 October 2026 with Claude (web, Desktop, iPhone).

## What you need

- Included in every paid plan, from Beginner.
- **Server address:** https://mcp.status200uploads.com/mcp (HTTPS). Its health check is https://mcp.status200uploads.com/health.
- **An app that can sign in:** Another AI app can connect only if it supports MCP sign-in (OAuth) and, after you sign in, sends you back to a web address (https) or to your own computer. An app that offers only its own kind of address, such as app://, cannot sign in. If we do not recognise the app and it does not sign in on your own computer, it can only read until you tick "I trust this app and accept the risk". An app that cannot sign in can send the rl_* API key of an account on a paid plan instead, and gets a smaller set of 5 tools.
- **Tested apps:** Tested with Claude and Claude Code. Claude on the web, in Claude Desktop and on iPhone, and Claude Code: each signed in and used the tools.
- **Cursor:** Cursor's sign-in worked on 9 October 2026; its tools are not tested yet.
- **Other apps:** ChatGPT and VS Code are recognised by their client ids, so they are offered publishing when they sign in; both are not tested yet.

## Steps

1. **Add the server to your app** In your AI app, add an MCP server (in Claude, a custom connector) with the address https://mcp.status200uploads.com/mcp. No key is needed: the app signs in.
2. **Sign in and choose what it may do** The app opens our page. Sign in to Status 200 Uploads, then allow "See your account" alone, or also "Post and schedule for you", and choose how long the connection lasts: 30, 60 or 90 days, or until you disconnect.
3. **Ask for a post in plain words** The app lists your accounts, reads what each network allows (for example TikTok's privacy levels), checks the post, then publishes or schedules it. TikTok needs a privacy level and YouTube a privacy status: the app has to ask you, it cannot choose for you.
4. **Disconnect whenever you want** Every app you connected is listed in the dashboard under API, where you can disconnect it at any time.

## What it can do

- **Accounts:** Your profiles and networks, your plan and what is left of it, and what each network really allows (TikTok privacy choices, Pinterest boards, Skool groups). Tools: status200_list_accounts, status200_get_usage, status200_get_posting_options.
- **Media:** Find a file already in your media library, upload one from the computer your app runs on, or import one from a URL, then check it until it is ready to post. Tools: status200_list_media, status200_create_upload_link, status200_finish_upload, status200_upload_media_from_url, status200_get_media_status.
- **Publishing:** Check a post without sending it, publish to up to ten places in one call, and send a failed post again. Tools: status200_validate_post, status200_publish_post, status200_retry_post.
- **Scheduling:** Put a post on the calendar, change it, or cancel it before it goes out. Tools: status200_schedule_post, status200_update_scheduled_post, status200_cancel_scheduled_post.
- **History:** What happened to a post, your post history, and the numbers each post earned. Tools: status200_get_post, status200_list_posts, status200_get_post_performance.
- **With an API key instead:** A client that sends an API key instead of signing in gets these five, which also need a paid plan: publish through the older URL or /api/v2/posts, import media, and check the connection. Tools: status200_server_info, status200_create_post, status200_create_post_site_v2, status200_upload_media_from_url, status200_get_media_status.

## A worked example: a Google Drive video to Instagram and TikTok

A request like the one Claude ran on 7 October 2026: a video shared from Google Drive with "Anyone with the link", posted to Instagram and TikTok. The answer of every step is shown to the app, so it can tell you what happened.

For an app that cannot sign in: the same server with an rl_* key from Dashboard, API (paid plans)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "status200-uploads": {
      "url": "https://mcp.status200uploads.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer rl_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Prompt: "Post the video at this Google Drive link to Instagram and TikTok with the caption "Behind the scenes"."

The app imports the file from the link with status200_upload_media_from_url, then publishes it with status200_publish_post, one target per network. TikTok needs a privacy level: if your request does not say it, the app asks you instead of choosing. The answer says how each post went.

## Limits and safe retries

- One target per network in a call, and at most 10 targets in all: send a second post to the same network in a later call.
- Send an idempotency_key with a publish to resend it safely: for 24 hours the same key gets the first answer back, never a second post. An identical call without a key within 2 minutes is refused as a duplicate.
- Your plan's daily limits apply as they do in the dashboard. A post over the day's limit is queued for the next day instead of failing, and the answer says so and gives its scheduled_post_id.
- A refused call answers with a code, a message, a next_step and a retry rule: "never" (the same call cannot succeed now), "after_reset" (it can after 00:00 UTC) or "not_a_failure" (the post was accepted and goes out on its own).
- Posts are public straight away, and Status 200 Uploads cannot delete a post from a network once it is out. A scheduled post can be cancelled before it goes out.

## Troubleshooting

**The app cannot sign in.** The app must return to an https address or to your own computer after the sign-in. An app that only offers its own kind of address, such as app://, is refused.

**The app can read but not post.** Either you allowed "See your account" only, or we do not recognise the app and you left "I trust this app and accept the risk" unticked. Disconnect it under API and connect it again.

**The answer is plan_limit_reached.** The account is on Free, where the AI connector is not included. Upgrade to Beginner or higher, or post through the dashboard or the REST API, which are on every plan.

**The connection stopped working.** The connection length you chose has ended, or the app was disconnected. Connect the app again.

## Questions

### Which AI apps have been tested with the MCP server?

Claude (on the web, in Claude Desktop and on iPhone) and Claude Code: each signed in and used the tools. Cursor's sign-in worked on 9 October 2026; its tools are not tested yet.

### Does ChatGPT work with the MCP server?

ChatGPT is not tested yet. It is recognised by its client id, so it is offered publishing when it signs in, but no tool call from it is on record.

### Do I need an API key?

No: an app that signs in needs no key. An app that cannot sign in can send the rl_* key of an account on a paid plan instead, and gets a smaller set of 5 tools.

### Which plan do I need?

The AI connector is included in every paid plan, from Beginner. On Free, post from the dashboard or through the REST API with your own key.

### Can the app delete a post?

No. Status 200 Uploads cannot delete a post from a network once it is out, and no tool does. The app can cancel a scheduled post before it goes out.

### What happens when a post fails?

The answer says why, what to do next and whether the same call can work again. The app can send a failed post again with status200_retry_post, and status200_get_post shows what happened on each network.

### Can n8n or my own scripts use it?

n8n and your own scripts use the REST API, which is on every plan, Free included. The MCP server is for AI apps.
