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.

Upload-Post API + MCP

Free plan with 2 profiles and 10 uploads a month, no card. One account key with no scopes, and the MCP's OAuth grants a single mcp.full scope.

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

Upload-Post API + MCP

  1. Send Authorization: Apikey <key> on REST. The MCP also takes Bearer
  2. Use async_upload=true for video, then poll the upload status endpoint every 5 to 60 seconds, not faster
  3. Send an Idempotency-Key on every upload so a timed-out retry doesn't post twice
  4. Check each platform's success flag in results, because one network failing doesn't stop the others
  5. Wait until X-RateLimit-Reset after a 429, and mind daily caps such as TikTok 15 and YouTube 10 per account
