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### Upload-Post API + MCP\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Apikey \u003ckey\u003e` on REST. The MCP also takes Bearer\n2. Use async_upload=true for video, then poll the upload status endpoint every 5 to 60 seconds, not faster\n3. Send an Idempotency-Key on every upload so a timed-out retry doesn't post twice\n4. Check each platform's success flag in results, because one network failing doesn't stop the others\n5.
