Verdicts

Post Bridge API + MCP

Hosted MCP with OAuth 2.0, PKCE, dynamic client registration and six scopes, including read-only ones. Publishing only, with no comments, DMs or inbox, and analytics for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook only.

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

Post Bridge API + MCP

  1. Call list_social_accounts first, upload media, then create_post. Omit scheduled_at to publish at once
  2. Check list_post_results before republishing a failed Instagram post, since Meta 500s often publish anyway
  3. Set is_draft true when a person should approve the post
  4. Put links for X in a reply, because captions sent to X lose their URLs
  5. Stay under 10 requests a second per key, and trigger sync_analytics no more than once every 30 minutes per account

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 Use plan_at or omit both dates to leave a draft unpublished.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