What Is Metricool’s MCP?

Metricool’s MCP is the official server that connects your Metricool account with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, Mistral Le Chat, Make, and n8n. Once connected, you simply ask the mode for whatever you need regarding your social networks, and it communicates with Metricool on your behalf.

Questions that would normally have you opening five tabs.

These aren’t demos. They’re the questions you already ask yourself every Monday morning when you sit down to plan your week. Each one becomes a single message in Claude.

Claude reads your Instagram metrics, sorts by engagement, and gives you a top 3 with an explanation of why.

Pull data from the competitors you’ve already set up in Metricool and put it side by side with your own data.

Get a rundown of your active campaigns across Meta, Google, and TikTok Ads without leaving the chat. Perfect for quick client check-ins.

One instruction, three platforms. Optimal posting time per channel based on your data. Zero copy-pasting between dashboards.

Claude reads real patterns from your account — not generic tips from the internet — and suggests ideas rooted in what’s already working for you.

No need to open the planner. Just tell Claude what to change, and it updates the scheduled post for you.”

FAQs

What exactly is Metricool’s MCP?

It’s Metricool’s official MCP server. It acts as a bridge between your Metricool account and any client that supports the Model Context Protocol (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT with Developer Mode, Mistral Le Chat, Make, n8n). Once connected, those clients can read and act on your Metricool data on your behalf.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The connection is made via URL or a command you copy and paste once. After that, you just talk to Claude in plain language: “check my Reels from the last month” or “schedule this post for tomorrow at 10am.

Which social networks does it support?

Instagram (posts, reels, stories), TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook (posts, reels, stories), X (Twitter), YouTube, Pinterest (pins and boards), Threads, Bluesky, and Twitch. Plus campaign data from Meta Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Ads.

Does it work on Claude Desktop as well as Claude Code?

Yes. The MCP works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT (Developer Mode), Mistral Le Chat, Make, n8n, Smithery, and Gemini CLI. The way you add it varies slightly depending on the client, but it’s the same server throughout.

Which Metricool plan do I need?

The MCP works with any Metricool plan, including the free account. The limitations that apply are those of your current plan. For example, with the free account you can’t access data older than 3 months or schedule more than 20 posts. Paid plans expand those limits.

How do I authenticate?

There are two options: via OAuth, by authorizing through a browser tab, or with your METRICOOL_USER_TOKEN and METRICOOL_USER_ID, which you can find in your Metricool account settings.

Do posts publish instantly or get scheduled?

It’s entirely your call. You can ask for it to go out right away, schedule it for a specific date and time, or use the optimal time based on your account data.

Can I manage multiple brands?

Yes. If your Metricool account has multiple brands, Claude lists them (using get_brands) and works with whichever one you specify in each conversation.

Can I edit already-scheduled posts?

Yes. Using update_schedule_post you can change the text, date, or platform of a scheduled post within the same conversation.

Is my data secure?

The MCP uses the same permissions and authentication as your Metricool account. You can revoke access at any time from your settings. Your data is not stored in the model.

What’s the difference between this and MetriLAB AI?

MetriLAB AI is the native Claude integration built directly into Metricool. The MCP is the technical layer that powers it — and one you can also use outside of Metricool, in any client that supports the Model Context Protocol.

Is it open source?

Metricool’s MCP server is publicly available in the metricool/mcp-metricool repository on GitHub. It’s also published as a package on PyPI.

Try it with your Metricool account

The MCP works with any Metricool plan, including the free one. If you already have an account and a Claude client, you’re five minutes away. If not, create a free account and try it out before committing.
