## Before you call it

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

## Connect

```bash
curl https://api.postiz.com/public/v1/integrations -H "Authorization: $POSTIZ_API_KEY"
```

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http postiz https://mcp.postiz.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $POSTIZ_API_KEY"
```
