Claude writes the post. Now it can send it.
Claude already drafts your LinkedIn updates, your launch threads, your Instagram captions. It just cannot publish them. One connector changes that: 28 tools across 11 platforms, added with a browser sign-in and no key to copy.
Claude has a connector directory, not a publishing account
Ask Claude to post something and it will tell you it cannot. It has no account on LinkedIn, no session on Instagram, no route to X. Everything it writes gets copied out by hand, one platform at a time - and that manual last mile is exactly where people stop.
Outstand gives Claude the account it is missing. Add it once and Claude gains 28 tools that publish, schedule, reply, upload media, and read engagement back across 11 platforms. It has been live at https://mcp.outstand.so/mcp since March 2026.
The alternative is stacking single-purpose servers: a LinkedIn one, an Instagram one, an X one - each cloned from GitHub, each with its own credentials, each breaking on its own schedule. This is one connection instead of eleven.
- ✓Works in Claude on web, desktop, and mobile, in Claude Desktop, and in Claude Code
- ✓Sign in once in the browser - Claude holds a scoped token you can revoke, never your password
- ✓One connector covers every network, rather than a separate MCP server per platform
- ✓Choose which organization and accounts Claude is allowed to act on
Three ways to connect Claude
Same server whichever Claude you use. The connector flow needs no key at all; the config and CLI routes are there for desktop and headless setups.
Create an account
Sign up at outstand.so and connect the social accounts you want Claude to post from. Free tier included.
Add the connector
Paste https://mcp.outstand.so/mcp into Claude's connector settings and complete the one-click sign-in.
Ask Claude to post
Draft in the chat as you already do, then tell it to publish or schedule. It replies with live links.
# Settings -> Connectors -> Add custom connector # Paste this URL and sign in once. No API key. https://mcp.outstand.so/mcp

What Claude can do once it is connected
The full publishing toolkit, driven by asking. Nothing is held back for a higher tier.
Cross-platform posting
Publish one message to X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and 8 more platforms in a single request.
Scheduling
Queue a post for later with timezone-aware scheduling. Your agent sets the time; Outstand publishes it.
Media uploads
Upload images and video, then attach them to posts. The upload flow returns a live URL you can reuse.
Analytics on demand
Pull likes, comments, shares, and impressions for any post published through Outstand.
Replies and reposts
Reply to comments and repost or quote existing posts, where the platform supports it.
Account discovery
List connected accounts and their metrics so your agent knows exactly where it can publish.
Honest limits
Outstand publishes; it does not listen. Claude cannot use it to browse timelines, track competitors, or scrape anyone else's posts, and analytics cover what you published through Outstand. 8 networks connect out of the box on included Managed Keys; X (Twitter), Google Business Profile, Vimeo need your own API credentials, which is a platform rule rather than an upsell.
Frequently asked questions.
Can Claude post to LinkedIn?
Not on its own - Claude has no LinkedIn account. With the Outstand connector added it can: ask it to publish or schedule a LinkedIn post and it does, then hands back the live URL. The same connector covers 10 other platforms.
How do I connect Claude to Instagram?
Add https://mcp.outstand.so/mcp as a custom connector in Claude, sign in once, and connect your Instagram account in Outstand. There is no separate Instagram MCP server to install - one connector covers Instagram alongside every other supported platform.
Does Claude have a LinkedIn connector?
Anthropic does not ship one for publishing. Outstand is a custom connector you add yourself: paste https://mcp.outstand.so/mcp into Claude's connector settings and sign in. It covers LinkedIn plus 10 more platforms in a single connection.
Is there a social media MCP server for Claude?
Yes. Outstand is a hosted MCP server, live at https://mcp.outstand.so/mcp since March 2026, exposing 28 tools. Most social media MCP servers on GitHub scrape public posts; this one publishes, and there is nothing to clone or keep running.
Do I need an API key?
Not for Claude on web, desktop, or mobile - the one-click sign-in gives Claude a scoped, revocable token instead. Claude Code is headless, so it takes an Outstand API key as a Bearer token in the claude mcp add command.
How much does it cost?
The connector is included with every Outstand account at no extra cost. Pricing is $19/month, 3,000 posts included, then usage-based. Posts Claude publishes draw on the same quota as the REST API.
Every product claim on this page is restated, dated, and citable on the facts page.
