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.

Typefully

A public OpenAPI 3.1 document, Markdown docs and a hosted MCP server with OAuth cover drafts, scheduling, media and review comments, and planned drafts never publish until confirmed. Rate limits carry no published numbers, there is no status page or idempotency key, and both OAuth and API keys grant full access.

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

Typefully

  1. Call GET /v2/social-sets first. Every draft, media, tag and queue path needs a social_set_id
  2. Use plan_at or omit both dates to leave a draft unpublished. publish_at: "now" posts at once and is asynchronous
  3. Do not retry a failed publish blindly. Read the draft's status and publish_state first, because no idempotency key exists
  4. Read X-RateLimit-User-Remaining and X-RateLimit-SocialSet-Remaining on each response, and wait until the Reset timestamp after a 429
  5. Send the key only as Authorization: Bearer. The legacy MCP URL with ?TYPEFULLY_API_KEY= still works and puts the key in logs
