MCP Server

Outstand's MCP (Model Context Protocol) server lets you manage social media across 10 platforms directly from AI agents like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf — using natural language.

Instead of writing API calls, you just talk to your AI:

"Post this to X and LinkedIn"
"Schedule a tweet for tomorrow at 9am"
"How did my last Instagram post perform?"
"Upload this image and post it to Threads"

The MCP server exposes 25 tools that cover everything: posting, scheduling, analytics, media management, account management, and more.

How it works

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that allows AI agents to interact with external tools and services. Outstand's MCP server acts as a bridge between your AI agent and the Outstand API — giving your AI full access to social media management capabilities.

You → AI Agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.) → Outstand MCP Server → Social Media Platforms

Your AI agent automatically discovers the available tools and knows how to use them. You just describe what you want in plain language.
