A Publer alternative for people who publish at volume

Bulk scheduling stops being a UI problem the moment your queue comes from somewhere else — a content database, a release pipeline, a client sheet. PostMCP AI gives you the API to generate it, the pre-flight to rehearse it, and the per-profile tracking to repair it.

# generate a week of posts from your own data
for row in schedule.csv:
    POST /api/tools/preflight_post   # rehearse
    POST /api/tools/create_post      # commit

# or collapse it into batches of 20
POST /api/tools/multicall
{ "calls": [ … ], "stopOnError": true }
→ { "ok": 18, "failed": 1, "skipped": 1 }

What volume publishing actually needs

Bulk that is scriptable, not just pasteable

CSV import is fine until you want the queue generated from something — a content database, a release pipeline, a client spreadsheet that changes weekly. multicall runs up to 20 operations per request, validates every tool name before executing, and returns one labelled result per call so you can reconcile a batch programmatically.

Partial retries at volume

When you push 200 posts, some will fail — a token expired, an image 404’d, a network throttled you. Every delivery is tracked per profile, and re-publishing skips the ones that already landed. A failed batch is repaired, not re-run.

One post per profile, addressable

A ten-target broadcast becomes ten posts with ten IDs. You can edit, reschedule, retry or cancel any one of them without touching the other nine — which is what makes volume manageable rather than merely possible.

Pre-flight before you spend

A dry run reports character overruns, unconnected profiles, missing media on networks that require it and the exact credit cost. Running it over a batch before committing is the difference between a 200-post publish and a 200-post incident.

Bulk publishing FAQ

What is a good Publer alternative with an API?
PostMCP AI exposes its entire publishing engine — sixteen tools — at POST /api/tools/{name} with an API key, plus an open-source MCP server for AI clients. There is no separate limited export API: the dashboard and your script use the same endpoints.
Can I bulk schedule posts?
Yes, two ways. multicall batches up to 20 operations into one validated request, and the plain create_post endpoint takes a date, time and timezone so a loop over your own data generates a queue directly. Both go through the same pre-flight checks as a post typed into the composer.
What happens when part of a bulk publish fails?
Each delivery keeps its own status, permalink and upstream error. Publishing the post again re-sends only the profiles that failed, so a partial failure is repaired rather than duplicated. With stopOnError on a batch, the response also names the calls that were skipped.
Does it write the posts as well as schedule them?
Yes. The built-in agent reads your brand kit and drafts a version per network, generates an image, dry-runs the result and proposes slots — with an approval before anything publishes. You can also drive the same tools from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor over MCP.
How is bulk publishing priced?
Per delivery: 1 credit per profile, 5 for X, plus a one-off 50-credit surcharge on posts containing a link. Plans bundle credits monthly — 2,000 on Starter, 6,000 on Professional, 14,000 on Business — and one-time packs top up without changing your plan.
Which networks are supported?
LinkedIn including company pages, X (Twitter), Facebook Pages, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky including self-hosted AT Protocol servers, and YouTube Shorts.
