MCP can schedule or publish, but repository access does not make an agent the owner of your public voice. Keep understanding, drafting and publication as separate decisions.

Scheduling with a short review window is safer than publishing immediately, especially when a release job or migration can still change.

## What you will do

- Confirm the release is publicly available.
- Require a complete preflight before a write tool runs.
- Capture the returned DunSocial post ID and status.

## Before you start

- An active DunSocial workspace with the intended social accounts already connected.
- An MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP and OAuth, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Copilot Studio.
- A person who can review the final account, copy and time before publishing.
- Reviewed final copy and a public URL that is already reachable.

## Step by step

### 1. Verify release state

Ask the agent to check the public changelog or release page, not merely a local branch. Do not announce code that has not reached users.

### 2. List destinations and queue

Read connected accounts and scheduled posts around the intended time. This catches wrong accounts and duplicate announcements.

### 3. Run a preflight

Make the agent state the final copy, public link, account names, ISO timestamp and action.

> Prepare to schedule this approved release post. Show the final copy, public URL, destination account names and ISO time. Wait for my approval before calling a tool.

### 4. Schedule and verify

After approval, schedule the post and return its ID. Check the DunSocial preview. Use publish-now only when immediate publication is genuinely required and reviewed.

## Check before you finish

- The assistant names the correct DunSocial workspace and destination accounts.
- Every factual claim comes from the source material or saved workspace memory.
- The final action, timezone and returned post or draft IDs are visible.

## Where to go next

Keep the post ID in release notes so a rollback or timing change can reschedule or cancel the existing item.
