REST API only on Advanced ($67 a month) and Custom.\n\n**Post Bridge API + MCP.** Hosted MCP with OAuth 2.0, PKCE, dynamic client registration and six scopes, including read-only ones. Publishing only, with no comments, DMs or inbox, and analytics for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook only.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Metricool API + MCP\n\n1. Connect the hosted MCP at https://ai.metricool.com/mcp with OAuth, and ask only for mcp:read when the job is reporting\n2. Call admin/simpleProfiles with your userId to list brands and their blogId values\n3. Normalise media through `actions/normalize/image/url` first, or the post goes out without it\n4. Give publicationDate a dateTime and an IANA timezone, in the future\n5. Back off on your own, since no rate limits or Retry-After are documented\n\n### Post Bridge API + MCP\n\n1. Call list_social_accounts first, upload media, then create_post. Omit scheduled_at to publish at once\n2. Check list_post_results before republishing a failed Instagram post, since Meta 500s often publish anyway\n3. Set is_draft true when a person should approve the post\n4. Put links for X in a reply, because captions sent to X lose their URLs\n5. Stay under 10 requests a second per key, and trigger sync_analytics no more than once every 30 minutes per account\n\n## Other comparisons with Metricool API + MCP or Post Bridge API + MCP\n\n- [Ayrshare API + MCP vs Metricool API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ayrshare-vs-metricool.md)\n- [Ayrshare API + MCP vs Post Bridge API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ayrshare-vs-post-bridge.md)\n- [Buffer API + MCP vs Metricool API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/buffer-vs-metricool.md)\n- [Buffer API + MCP vs Post Bridge API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/buffer-vs-post-bridge.md)\n- [Zernio (formerly Late) API + MCP vs Metricool API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/late-vs-metricool.md)\n- [Zernio (formerly Late) API + MCP vs Post Bridge API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/late-vs-post-bridge.md)\n- [Metricool API + MCP vs Mixpost API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/metricool-vs-mixpost.md)\n- [Metricool API + MCP vs OneUp API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/metricool-vs-oneup.md)\n- [Metricool API + MCP vs Postiz API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/metricool-vs-postiz.md)\n- [Metricool API + MCP vs Publer API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/metricool-vs-publer.md)\n- [Metricool API + MCP vs Upload-Post API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/metricool-vs-upload-post.md)\n- [Mixpost API + MCP vs Post Bridge API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mixpost-vs-post-bridge.md)\n- [OneUp API + MCP vs Post Bridge API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/oneup-vs-post-bridge.md)\n- [Post Bridge API + MCP vs Postiz API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/post-bridge-vs-postiz.md)\n- [Post Bridge API + MCP vs Publer API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/post-bridge-vs-publer.md)\n- [Post Bridge API + MCP vs Upload-Post API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/post-bridge-vs-upload-post.md)\n",
