Verdicts

Metricool API + MCP

Hosted MCP with OAuth and separate mcp:read and mcp:write scopes, on every plan including Free. REST API only on Advanced ($67 a month) and Custom.

Mixpost API + MCP

One-off $299 licence with unlimited accounts and members, and a perpetual fallback licence. No API or MCP in the free Lite edition.

Before you call either

Metricool API + MCP

  1. Connect the hosted MCP at https://ai.metricool.com/mcp with OAuth, and ask only for mcp:read when the job is reporting
  2. Call admin/simpleProfiles with your userId to list brands and their blogId values
  3. Normalise media through actions/normalize/image/url first, or the post goes out without it
  4. Give publicationDate a dateTime and an IANA timezone, in the future
  5. Back off on your own, since no rate limits or Retry-After are documented

Mixpost API + MCP

  1. Call list-workspaces first. Workspace endpoints sit under /api/{workspaceUuid}
  2. Check MIXPOST_CORE_PATH. It's empty by default from Pro v7 but defaults to mixpost in older versions and Lite
  3. Create the token as a Viewer-role user when the agent only needs to read
  4. Use unschedule-post rather than delete-post when a person wants a post pulled back to draft
  5. Expect HTTP 422 with an errors.limit entry when a Cloud plan limit is hit
