## 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.

**Typefully.** A public OpenAPI 3.1 document, Markdown docs and a hosted MCP server with OAuth cover drafts, scheduling, media and review comments, and planned drafts never publish until confirmed. Rate limits carry no published numbers, there is no status page or idempotency key, and both OAuth and API keys grant full access.

## 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

### Typefully

1. Call `GET /v2/social-sets` first. Every draft, media, tag and queue path needs a `social_set_id`
2. Use `plan_at` or omit both dates to leave a draft unpublished. `publish_at: "now"` posts at once and is asynchronous
3. Do not retry a failed publish blindly. Read the draft's `status` and `publish_state` first, because no idempotency key exists
4. Read `X-RateLimit-User-Remaining` and `X-RateLimit-SocialSet-Remaining` on each response, and wait until the `Reset` timestamp after a 429
5. Send the key only as `Authorization: Bearer`. The legacy MCP URL with `?TYPEFULLY_API_KEY=` still works and puts the key in logs
