Verdicts

Postiz API + MCP

AGPL-3.0 and self-hostable with the API and MCP included, 34 platforms. Create-post capped at 90 requests an hour on every Cloud plan.

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

Postiz API + MCP

  1. Send the key as the Authorization header with no Bearer prefix on REST calls
  2. Batch several posts into one create request to stay under 90 an hour
  3. Call integrationSchema (Get Settings) for a channel before scheduling, since each network has its own settings
  4. Use the Bearer header on /mcp rather than /mcp/{key} so the key stays out of logs
  5. Read output.errors on a failed schedule call and retry with the corrected fields

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 Use plan_at or omit both dates to leave a draft unpublished.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