Why the edge:
- Maintenance & community, PostNitro +50: Contentdrips API and MCP 15 (The newest dated change to the agent surface is the MCP page, published 25 May 2026 and modified 27 May, 163 days before this check (10). No three dated changes since 8 August were found (0). No public changelog. Email support at hello@contentdrips.com, which we didn't test (5 of 15). Not in the official MCP registry and no official SDKs (0). No public package or repository (0). 10 + 0 + 5 + 0 + 0 = 15.); PostNitro 65 (CLI 1.6.0 tagged on 1 November 2026, with motion styles, post read and edit and an AI voiceover, against an Embed API release it names (30). CLI 1.3.0 (tagged 19 August), 1.4.1 (29 September), 1.5.0 (7 October) and 1.6.0 (1 November) fall in the 90 days, read from the repository's tags and changelog (20). Closed service with a dated CLI changelog, support by email and in-app chat, and public repositories with few outside contributions to judge replies by (8). No official MCP registry entry could be read, and the server card's `ai.postnitro/mcp` is a claim (0). The CLI publishes from a GitHub Actions workflow. The Embed SDK was last published on 15 July 2025, per the 14 October check (7). 30 + 20 + 8 + 0 + 7 = 65.)
- Schema & documentation, PostNitro +29: Contentdrips API and MCP 48 (No OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract for the REST API, and the MCP server is closed, so its schemas weren't read. The MCP page names every tool's parameters (10 of 25, on that partial evidence). The marketing site's llms.txt is generated by Yoast and lists blog posts, with no link to the API or MCP docs; the developer site has none (2 of 10). The MCP page labels each tool Read, Write or Destructive, says `get_template_structure` is needed before filling or editing, and gives confirmation rules for publishing and deleting (15 of 20). Enums for `output`, `type`, AI `method` and formats, but `content_update` and `carousel_content` are open structures keyed by template labels (9 of 15). Request examples and an error table (400, 401, 404, 500) with an error body, while the result section contradicts its own example and some examples omit a required `value` (9 of 15). Docs marked v1.0.0 and last updated January 2025, with no changelog (3 of 15). 10 + 2 + 15 + 9 + 9 + 3 = 48.); PostNitro 77 (OpenAPI 3.1 document for the Embed API at `/.well-known/openapi/embed.json`, with 13 operations per the 14 October check and not re-read. The MCP docs now point to a public tool catalogue on the MCP host with every tool's input and output schema, which we didn't request, so the earlier partial is held (20). `llms.txt` (updated 29 October 2026), `llms-full.txt`, a docs `llms.txt` and `.md` twins (10). The docs state what each tool is for, when not to use PostNitro and the `embedPostId` and `designId` split, and the tool count now reads 40 on every page read (15). 24 enums, typed slide objects and per-platform settings with conditional rules per the 14 October check, and unknown keys in settings objects are now refused by name (12). Examples on each page and a full table of validation messages for the Schedule API (13). `info.version` 1.0.0 with no version in the path and no API changelog. The CLI has a dated Keep a Changelog file with semver (7). 20 + 10 + 15 + 12 + 13 + 7 = 77.)
- Security & auth, PostNitro +25: Contentdrips API and MCP 31 (API keys from the dashboard, with no scopes, expiry or rotation documented. The MCP server also runs OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, but its one `mcp` scope authorises the same full key (18 of 30). No read-only key or endpoint. `publish_post` needs `confirmed: true` and the docs ask for confirmation before deletes (10 of 20). Tools read blog, YouTube and TikTok links and download external images, and no prompt-injection guidance was found (3 of 15). No audit log or per-call record documented (0). No security.txt, disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification found (0). 18 + 10 + 3 + 0 + 0 = 31.); PostNitro 56 (The MCP server runs OAuth 2.1 with PKCE S256, dynamic client registration and a revocation endpoint, but with one broad `postnitro` scope, per the 14 October reading of its published metadata. Keys are `pn-` API keys sent in a header, generated in the web app, with no scopes or rotation documented (20). A read-only MCP server URL can't generate, edit, schedule or delete, and the destructive tools are annotated so a client can ask before running them. No read-only API key (14). The MCP docs, and the server when a client connects, say that slide text, names and captions derived from an article or X post are third-party content, never to follow instructions in it or let it choose tools (12). Per-job processing logs come back from the status endpoint. No account audit log was found (3). security.txt, expiring 1 November 2027, names support@postnitro.ai, with no disclosure policy, acknowledgement time, bug bounty or certification found (7). 20 + 14 + 12 + 3 + 7 = 56.)
- Reliability, PostNitro +22: Contentdrips API and MCP 23 (Hosted lines. No status page found on the site, the developer docs or the footers (0). No readable incident history (5). No rate limit is given in numbers, only monthly call allowances by plan (6,000 on Pro, 25,000 on Ultimate), which earn a little (5 of 15). The troubleshooting note says to check /queue/stats and retry after a short delay when rate limited, with no status code or Retry-After. Render jobs are asynchronous, so polling is safe (3 of 15). No SLA found (0). The MCP server is v1.0.0 and the render API is not labelled beta (10). 0 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 0 + 10 = 23.); PostNitro 45 (Graded as a hosted service, the MCP server and the Embed REST API it wraps. No status page was found, and none is linked from llms.txt or the MCP docs, re-read on 5 November (0). With no page there is no incident history to read (5). Limits are published per API key per minute, 5 for each create endpoint, 120 for status and output and 30 for the rest (15). A 429 carries `Retry-After`, the MCP tools turn it into a stated wait, and every create request now takes an optional `Idempotency-Key`, kept for 24 hours, covering generation, edits and scheduling, the writes that spend credits (15). No SLA was found and the terms supply the service as is (0). Nothing is labelled beta or preview (10). 0 + 5 + 15 + 15 + 0 + 10 = 45.)
- Agent ergonomics, PostNitro +14: Contentdrips API and MCP 54 (29 MCP tools (15 for 11 to 30), with no toolsets or read-only subset (15 of 25). `list_posts` filters by status and `get_my_templates` by type and workspace, and no pagination is documented (8 of 20). Errors carry `error` and `message`, and the troubleshooting section explains template-not-found and label mismatches (12 of 20). Access labels in the docs, `confirmed: true` on `publish_post`, and job polling that is safe to repeat, but no idempotency key on renders or post creation, and the labels couldn't be confirmed as MCP annotations (12 of 20). Two required fields to render (`template_id`, `output`), and no SDK beyond an Embed SDK for the editor (7 of 15). 15 + 8 + 12 + 12 + 7 = 54.); PostNitro 68 (40 MCP tools load together on the main server URL (5). A read-only server URL serves only the 16 tools annotated `readOnlyHint`, the `DESIGN` output skips rendering and the `_and_wait` tools fold polling into one call (8 back, 13). Templates and brands page with `page` and `limit` up to 100, and scheduled posts filter by date range and social account (14). API errors reach the agent verbatim with their status and a plain message, the schedule error page lists every validation message, unknown keys are refused by name, and a missing ID returns the candidate IDs. A brand-limit error comes back as 401, per the 14 October check (14). Every create tool takes an `idempotencyKey`, and the MCP docs say every tool carries `readOnlyHint` and `destructiveHint`, naming the six destructive tools (20). Saved defaults and single-candidate auto-selection keep required arguments to one or two. Official code is a Node CLI and a browser editor SDK, one language (7). 13 + 14 + 14 + 20 + 7 = 68.)
- Payments & pricing, Contentdrips API and MCP +5: Contentdrips API and MCP 25 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0). No per-call price. The API page shows $0 on paid cards, a $39 starting price and $359 a month for unlimited calls, and the pricing page shows $15 and $26 plans without API, so the public pricing can't be relied on (5 of 20). The API page says 10 API calls to test with and no card for the free plan (20). A person signs up and generates the key in the dashboard (0). 0 + 5 + 20 + 0 = 25.); PostNitro 20 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Credit prices are public without a login at $0.04 a credit, 1 per imported slide and 2 per AI-written slide, with plan prices of $15, $30 and $60 a month (20). The web app has a free plan with no card, but the subscription docs, the MCP docs and llms.txt now agree there is no free API tier, and calls without a paid plan return 402 (0). A person signs up in a browser and generates a key, or approves OAuth in the client. Dynamic client registration removes the key step but not the signup (0). 0 + 20 + 0 + 0 = 20.)
