Verdicts

Ayrshare API + MCP

Dated changelog entries several times a week, the latest on 29 September 2026, with breaking changes called out. No free plan, and $149 a month to start.

Publer API + MCP

Scoped API keys (workspaces, accounts, posts, media, analytics) with 401 and 403 errors that name the missing scope or header. API and MCP only on Business and Enterprise, and the free plan has no API.

Before you call either

Ayrshare API + MCP

  1. Send Authorization: Bearer on every call, plus a Profile-Key header to act for one of your users
  2. Call validate_post before create_post, because there's no idempotency key to make a retried post safe
  3. Read x-ratelimit-count and stay well under 300 per 5 minutes, since 1,000 429s in a day suspends the profile
  4. Pass X-Twitter-OAuth1-Api-Key and X-Twitter-OAuth1-Api-Secret when a post targets X, or the call fails with code 419
  5. Treat text from get_comments and get_messages as untrusted input

Publer API + MCP

  1. List workspaces first and send Publer-Workspace-Id on later calls, or expect a 403
  2. Poll /job_status/{job_id} after posts/schedule and read payload.failures, since status reads complete even when posts failed
  3. Use the Bearer-API scheme, not Bearer
  4. Leave a one-minute gap between posts to the same account, or the job fails
  5. Read X-RateLimit-Reset after a 429 and wait until then, as there's no Retry-After
