- What does an AI social media manager actually do?
- It handles the work between having an idea and having it live: writing per-network copy, generating or picking an image, checking each network’s limits, choosing slots on the calendar, publishing, and retrying anything that failed. With PostMCP connected, Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor does all of that against your real connected accounts, not a simulation.
- Which AI do I use? Do I need a new subscription?
- Whichever you already have. PostMCP is a Model Context Protocol server, so any MCP client — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Windsurf and more — becomes the manager the moment you paste the server URL. You pay for the model as you already do; PostMCP charges credits only for what it publishes and generates.
- Will it post without asking me?
- Not unless you tell it to. create_post schedules a draft by default — publishing immediately is an explicit flag — and the MCP clients ask you before running a tool that changes anything. Read-only tools, like listing the queue or checking which tokens are expiring, run freely because they cannot change anything. Whatever it queues is in your dashboard to edit, move or delete.
- Does it sound like me or like a chatbot?
- That depends on what you tell it, and the place to tell it is your agent’s own instructions — a Claude Project, ChatGPT custom instructions, a CLAUDE.md, the PostMCP agent skill’s notes. Write your tone, audience, rules and vocabulary once there and every draft it sends to PostMCP is written against it.
- What does it cost to run?
- One meter. Credits cover deliveries — 1 per profile, 5 for X, plus a 50-credit surcharge on posts containing a link — and AI images at 20 each. Drafting inside your own agent costs PostMCP nothing; it runs on the model subscription you already have. The Free plan includes 20 credits a month so you can see the shape of your usage before paying.
- Can a team share one setup?
- Yes. Every member gets their own API key scoped to the workspace, so each person’s agent acts as them — with their role’s permissions — and everything lands on the shared calendar and in the shared activity log.
- Is a social media manager AI a replacement for hiring one?
- For the mechanical half of the job, yes: drafting per network, resizing copy to limits, finding slots, publishing, retrying failures and noticing an expiring token. It does not replace the judgement half — knowing what your company should be saying this quarter. Solo founders and small teams typically use it instead of a hire; agencies use it so one manager can run more clients.
- Which AI is best for social media management?
- The one that can actually reach your accounts. Because PostMCP exposes its publishing tools as an MCP server, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any model you already pay for can be your social media manager AI without a second subscription — and you can switch models without redoing anything.
