Publish to social media from the terminal
One command wires the Outstand MCP server into Claude Code. From then on the agent can draft, schedule, and publish across 11 platforms - part of the same terminal session where you build and deploy.
Deploys and announcements in one flow
Claude Code already runs your build, your tests, your deploy. The announcement that follows a release is the same kind of step - and now it can live in the same session.
Add Outstand once with a single "claude mcp add" and the agent gains 27 publishing tools. Post the changelog, schedule a follow-up, or pull last week's numbers, all without leaving the terminal.
- ✓A single command connects it - no config file to edit by hand
- ✓Bearer-token auth fits headless and CI-style setups cleanly
- ✓Cross-post a release note to every platform in one call
- ✓Compose it into scripts and agent workflows alongside your deploy steps
One command
Claude Code speaks streamable HTTP MCP. Add Outstand with your API key as a Bearer token.
Create an account
Sign up at outstand.so, connect your accounts, and grab an API key. Free tier included.
Run claude mcp add
One command with your key as a Bearer token registers the server.
Ask it to post
Tell Claude Code what to publish or schedule. It calls the tools and returns links.
claude mcp add -t http \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ost_your_key" \ outstand https://mcp.outstand.so/mcp
> Post "v2.1 is out: faster cold starts, new webhooks." to X and LinkedIn, then schedule a recap thread for 9am.
What Claude Code can do with it
The full publishing toolkit, driven from the terminal.
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
A publishing server, not a scraper. It does not read the firehose or monitor other accounts, and analytics cover posts made through Outstand. Destructive tools (deleting a live post) are explicit, so an agent never removes something by accident.
Frequently asked questions.
How do I add Outstand to Claude Code?
Run: claude mcp add -t http -H "Authorization: Bearer ost_your_key" outstand https://mcp.outstand.so/mcp. That registers the server; the agent can then use every tool.
Does it need an API key?
For Claude Code, yes - pass your Outstand API key as a Bearer token in the add command. In GUI clients like ChatGPT or Claude you can instead use one-click OAuth.
Is it Claude Code-specific?
No. The same server works in Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Windsurf, and any MCP client. Claude Code is one of many.
Can I use it in scripts and CI?
Yes. Bearer-token auth and streamable HTTP make it straightforward to drive from headless or automated environments. It exposes 27 tools across 11 platforms.
