Verdicts

OneUp API + MCP

API and MCP on every plan from $25 a month ($15 billed yearly). API key in the query string on REST and in the MCP URL, with no scopes.

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

OneUp API + MCP

  1. Call listcategory, then listcategoryaccount, then schedule. Pass social_network_id as ALL to post to every account in a category
  2. Keep the ?apiKey= URLs out of logs and shared configs, and regenerate the key on the API Access page if one leaks
  3. Set requireApproval or isDraftPost true when a person should review before anything goes out
  4. Page through lists with start, 50 posts at a time
  5. Give dates as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM with no timezone field, so confirm the account timezone first

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 Use plan_at or omit both dates to leave a draft unpublished.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