No status page, changelog, security contact or free API access was found, and each account has a single key with full access.\n\n**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.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Blotato\n\n1. Call `blotato_list_accounts` or `GET /v2/users/me/accounts` first, and fetch `pageId` or `boardId` before posting to a Facebook Page, LinkedIn company Page or Pinterest\n2. Keep the `postSubmissionId` and poll the status until `published`, `scheduled` or `failed`. It is a receipt, not proof of publication\n3. After a timeout on a create call, list existing posts before sending again, because there is no idempotency key\n4. Do not generate an API key on a trial account unless the owner accepts the Starter charge\n5. Keep REST bodies and MCP arguments apart. REST nests `post.content` and `post.target`, and the MCP tool takes flat arguments\n\n### Publer API + MCP\n\n1. List workspaces first and send Publer-Workspace-Id on later calls, or expect a 403\n2. Poll /job_status/{job_id} after posts/schedule and read payload.failures, since status reads complete even when posts failed\n3. Use the Bearer-API scheme, not Bearer\n4. Leave a one-minute gap between posts to the same account, or the job fails\n5. Read X-RateLimit-Reset after a 429 and wait until then, as there's no Retry-After\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Blotato or Publer API + MCP?\n\nPubler API + MCP and Blotato score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 46.8 (D) and 46.1 (D). Blotato leads on schema \u0026 documentation and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Blotato and Publer API + MCP need an API key?\n\nBlotato takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Publer API + MCP needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Blotato and Publer API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. Blotato has a hosted endpoint at https://backend.blotato.com/v2 and Publer API + MCP at https://app.publer.com/api/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blotato-vs-publer.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blotato-vs-publer.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"blotato\", \"b\": \"publer\"}`.
