Publora MCP Server

Control Publora directly from AI assistants like Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. No coding required — just describe what you want in plain English.

Overview

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and services. Publora provides a remote MCP server at mcp.publora.com — one-time setup, then just talk to your AI.

Perfect for:

• Marketers — schedule campaigns, check analytics, manage multiple accounts
• Content creators — post to all platforms at once without leaving your AI chat
• Business owners — delegate social media tasks to your AI assistant
• Developers — integrate Publora into AI-powered workflows

Just describe what you want:

"Show my connected social accounts" "Schedule a post to LinkedIn for tomorrow at 9am" "Get my LinkedIn analytics for the past week" "Post this announcement to all my accounts"

Quick Start

1. Get Your API Key

Log in to Publora → API in the sidebar → Copy your key (sk_...). Click MCP in the sidebar for additional setup instructions.

2. Configure Your MCP Client

Add Publora to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "publora": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.publora.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Both https://mcp.publora.com/ and https://mcp.publora.com/mcp work as the MCP endpoint URL.

3. Restart Your Client

After restarting, you'll have access to 18 Publora tools. Try asking:

"List my connected social media accounts"

Client-Specific Setup

Claude Code (CLI)

Edit ~/.claude.json or create .mcp.json in your project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "publora": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.publora.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Code. Verify with /mcp command.

Claude Desktop

1. Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config
2. Add the Publora server configuration (same JSON as above)
3. Restart Claude Desktop

Cursor

Create .cursor/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "publora": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.publora.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using with Other MCP Servers

MCP servers don't conflict — Claude loads all servers and merges their tools. Example with Context7:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "context7": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp"]
    },
    "publora": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.publora.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Python Client Example

For programmatic access or testing:

import asyncio
from mcp import ClientSession
from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client
 
async def main():
    headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer sk_YOUR_API_KEY"}
 
    async with streamablehttp_client("https://mcp.publora.com", headers=headers) as (read, write, _):
        async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
            await session.initialize()
 
            # List tools
            tools = await session.list_tools()
            print(f"Available: {len(tools.tools)} tools")
 
            # Get connections
            result = await session.call_tool("list_connections", {})
            print(result.content[0].text)
 
asyncio.run(main())

Install dependencies:

pip install mcp httpx

Verification

Health Check

curl https://mcp.publora.com/health
# {"status":"ok","service":"publora-mcp"}

Test MCP Handshake

curl -X POST https://mcp.publora.com \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0.0"}}}'

Authentication

Every request requires your Publora API key via one of:

• Authorization: Bearer sk_... (recommended)
• x-publora-key: sk_...

This is the same key used for the REST API.

HTTP Endpoints

Troubleshooting

"API key required" Error

Ensure your Authorization header is correctly formatted:

• Correct: Authorization: Bearer sk_abc123...
• Wrong: Authorization: sk_abc123...

Tools Not Showing

1. Check your MCP config syntax (valid JSON)
2. Verify the type is "http" (not "url")
3. Restart your MCP client completely
4. Run /mcp in Claude Code to verify connection

Session Errors

MCP uses sessions for stateful connections. If you see "Invalid or missing session", the server will automatically create a new one on the next request.

Comparison: MCP vs REST API

Use MCP for conversational workflows. Use REST API for production integrations.
