## Before you call it

1. Connect the hosted MCP at https://ai.metricool.com/mcp with OAuth, and ask only for mcp:read when the job is reporting
2. Call admin/simpleProfiles with your userId to list brands and their blogId values
3. Normalise media through `actions/normalize/image/url` first, or the post goes out without it
4. Give publicationDate a dateTime and an IANA timezone, in the future
5. Back off on your own, since no rate limits or Retry-After are documented

## Connect

```bash
curl "https://app.metricool.com/api/admin/simpleProfiles?userId=$METRICOOL_USER_ID" -H "X-Mc-Auth: $METRICOOL_API_TOKEN"
```

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http metricool https://ai.metricool.com/mcp
```
