Verdicts

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.

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

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

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 Use plan_at or omit both dates to leave a draft unpublished.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
