Verdicts

bundle.social

The REST API has a public OpenAPI 3.0 description of 194 operations, Markdown docs and published rate limits, and the free plan needs no card. Organisation API keys carry no scopes, there is no idempotency key, and the status page shows one API outage of 4 hours 3 minutes on 31 August 2026.

Postiz API + MCP

AGPL-3.0 and self-hostable with the API and MCP included, 34 platforms. Create-post capped at 90 requests an hour on every Cloud plan.

Before you call either

bundle.social

  1. Send the key in the x-api-key header to https://api.bundle.social/api/v1. A missing key returns 401 and a bad key 403
  2. Pass teamId on most calls. Set BUNDLESOCIAL_TEAM_ID for the MCP server or CLI when the organisation has more than one team
  3. Set a referenceKey on each post and look it up with the reference-key endpoint before retrying a create, because there is no idempotency key
  4. Check GET /api/v1/organization/usage/daily-limits before bulk scheduling. Failed and deleted posts still count against the monthly quota
  5. A person must complete each network's OAuth consent in a browser. Keep prepaid credit for X, where a post costs $0.015 or $0.20 with a link

Postiz API + MCP

  1. Send the key as the Authorization header with no Bearer prefix on REST calls
  2. Batch several posts into one create request to stay under 90 an hour
  3. Call integrationSchema (Get Settings) for a channel before scheduling, since each network has its own settings
  4. Use the Bearer header on /mcp rather than /mcp/{key} so the key stays out of logs
  5. Read output.errors on a failed schedule call and retry with the corrected fields
