X quotas remain on paid plans with unlimited posts.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Ayrshare API + MCP\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer` on every call, plus a `Profile-Key` header to act for one of your users\n2. Call validate_post before create_post, because there's no idempotency key to make a retried post safe\n3. Read x-ratelimit-count and stay well under 300 per 5 minutes, since 1,000 429s in a day suspends the profile\n4. Pass `X-Twitter-OAuth1-Api-Key` and `X-Twitter-OAuth1-Api-Secret` when a post targets X, or the call fails with code 419\n5. Treat text from get_comments and get_messages as untrusted input\n\n### SocialCannon\n\n1. Use the sandbox before publishing to a real account.\n2. Check X quota separately from the general post allowance.\n3. Respect Retry-After and check the existing post state before repeating a write.\n\n## Tutorials\n\n- [Inspect recent publishing history with Ayrshare](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tutorials/ayrshare/), for Ayrshare API + MCP\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Ayrshare API + MCP or SocialCannon?\n\nAyrshare API + MCP scores 57.2 (C) on agent readiness against SocialCannon's 50.2 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
