Claude can call hosted MCP tools. The useful how-to is not "paste a caption into Claude." It is connect DunSocial hosted MCP, verify the workspace, draft in your voice, then schedule with human confirm.

## Short answer

Add DunSocial as a custom connector in Claude (Settings, Connectors) using `https://api.dunsocial.com/api/mcp`, finish browser OAuth, verify the workspace with a read-only account list, then draft and schedule with confirm. DunSocial keeps human confirmation in front of publish for AI-written work. The hosted MCP exposes **50 tools** for posts, drafts, memory, media, workspaces, and personalization, included in the **USD 20/mo** or **USD 192/yr** plan (14-day trial, no card; extra seats USD 8/mo). Posts land on the same calendar as the web app and CLI, tagged MCP. Full product steps: [/claude](/claude) and [/mcp](/mcp).

| Step | Action | DunSocial surface |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Add custom connector URL `https://api.dunsocial.com/api/mcp` | Claude Connectors |
| 2 | Browser OAuth: sign in, pick workspace, grant scopes | DunSocial OAuth |
| 3 | Read-only verify: list accounts and name the workspace | Hosted MCP tools |
| 4 | Draft in voice, show copy/time/timezone, confirm, then schedule | Same calendar as web and CLI |

## Add the DunSocial connector in Claude

Open **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector**. Name the connector `DunSocial` and enter this server URL:

<CodeSnippet
	label="url"
	highlight={false}
	code={`https://api.dunsocial.com/api/mcp`}
/>

Save the connector. Claude opens DunSocial in a browser so you can sign in, choose a workspace, and approve access.

Do **not** add an Authorization header. Do **not** paste an access token into Claude. The connector flow is browser OAuth only. Ask before approving OAuth or completing signup on someone else's behalf, and never type another person's password.

The same connector setup works on **Claude.ai**, **Claude Desktop**, and **Claude on mobile**. If Connectors is unavailable on the client or plan you are using, stop and use [Claude Code](/claude-code), the [CLI](/cli), or the web app instead of inventing a different auth path.

Product walkthrough: [/claude](/claude).

## Verify workspace before you write

After authorization, confirm that DunSocial tools appear in Claude. Start with a read-only request:

<CodeSnippet
	label="prompt"
	highlight={false}
	code={`List my connected social accounts and name the DunSocial workspace. Do not create or change anything.`}
/>

If the workspace is wrong or the expected accounts are missing, stop. Connect or switch those accounts in the DunSocial web app, then return to Claude. MCP cannot create an X, LinkedIn, Instagram, or other network login for you. That happens once in the app; Claude then uses the accounts already connected.

Why this step matters: assistants are fast. A wrong workspace can schedule into the wrong brand calendar. Thirty seconds of verify saves a cleanup later.

## Draft in voice, then schedule

Give Claude a source you trust (release note, changelog, approved campaign brief). Ask for a draft that uses your saved **AI Memory** and **Voice Presets**, then preview before anything is timed.

<CodeSnippet
	label="prompt"
	highlight={false}
	code={`Draft an X thread and a LinkedIn post in my DunSocial voice.
Show the copy, destinations, time, and timezone. Do not schedule until I confirm.`}
/>

Review:

1. Exact copy (including thread beats if you asked for a thread)
2. Destination accounts
3. Time and timezone
4. Media attachments if any

When you are ready, tell Claude to schedule. DunSocial requires **human confirmation** before an MCP-created post can publish. Scheduled work appears on the same calendar as the web app and is tagged **MCP**, so there is one record of what the assistant created.

If you want a draft only, say so. Drafts also land in the shared workspace and can be edited in the web app later.

## What the 50 tools cover (high level)

DunSocial hosted MCP exposes **50 tools**. You do not need to memorize every name. At a high level they cover:

| Group | What Claude can do |
| --- | --- |
| Posts | List, get, schedule, publish now, threads, reschedule, cancel, delete |
| Drafts | List, get, create, update, delete |
| Memory | Collections, save, batch save, semantic search, update, delete |
| Media | List, upload, complete, delete |
| Workspaces | List, details, members, social accounts, Pinterest boards |
| Personalization | Get and update the workspace AI voice profile |

Full tool map and client list: [/mcp](/mcp). Related roundup: [best social media MCP servers 2026](/blog/best-social-media-mcp-servers-2026).

Platforms on the same plan: X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Reddit, Pinterest, YouTube Shorts, and Discord; TikTok limited beta.

## Claude MCP vs Claude Code vs CLI vs ChatGPT

| Path | When to use it | Entry |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Claude hosted MCP (this page) | You live in Claude.ai / Desktop / mobile chat | [/claude](/claude) |
| Claude Code | You are already in a repo shell with Claude Code | [/claude-code](/claude-code) |
| DunSocial CLI | Terminal, CI, or local coding agents without remote MCP | [/cli](/cli) |
| ChatGPT connector | ChatGPT is your daily assistant | [/chatgpt](/chatgpt) |

All of these drive the **same DunSocial workspace** when you connect the same account. Prefer hosted MCP when the assistant is remote and has no shell. Prefer the CLI when you already have a terminal and want JSON output plus CI exit codes. Prefer ChatGPT when that is the client you actually open every morning. The connector URL for hosted MCP is the same: `https://api.dunsocial.com/api/mcp`.

Agent overview: [/agents](/agents).

## A practical first session

1. Connect networks in the DunSocial web app (once).
2. Add the Claude connector and finish OAuth.
3. Run the read-only verify prompt.
4. Save a short brand memory note if you have not already (tone, product one-liner, words you never use).
5. Draft one post from a real changelog line.
6. Confirm copy, accounts, time, timezone.
7. Schedule, then open the web calendar and confirm the MCP tag.

That session teaches the loop better than any feature tour. After that, Claude can help with weekly batch drafts while you keep the confirm step.

## Common mistakes (and the fix)

- <strong class="!font-semibold">Skipping verify.</strong> If you draft before listing accounts, you may target yesterday's workspace. Always run the read-only list first.
- <strong class="!font-semibold">Pasting tokens into Claude.</strong> The connector uses browser OAuth. If a guide tells you to paste a bearer token into Claude settings for DunSocial, stop and use the official /claude flow instead.
- <strong class="!font-semibold">Scheduling without timezone.</strong> Ask Claude to print the timezone next to the local time. Confirm both.
- <strong class="!font-semibold">Treating Claude as the only calendar.</strong> Open the DunSocial web calendar after the first few MCP schedules so you trust the MCP tag and the time slots. After that, chat can stay primary.
- <strong class="!font-semibold">Forgetting brand memory.</strong> If posts sound generic, save a few memory items (audience, offer, tone, banned phrases) and ask Claude to search memory before drafting. That is what the memory tools are for.



## Why this path fits founders in Claude

If Claude is already where you write launch notes and think through positioning, scheduling from the same chat removes a context switch. DunSocial hosted MCP keeps OAuth, 50 tools, brand memory, and confirm-before-publish on the same USD 20 workspace as the web app and CLI. You add one connector URL, approve a workspace, and keep a human in front of live posts.

## FAQ

No. Hosted MCP with 50 tools is included in the USD 20/mo or USD 192/yr plan. See [/pricing](/pricing).

### Is there a trial?

Yes. 14-day trial, no card.

### How much are extra seats?

Extra seats are USD 8/mo each. The base plan includes 1 seat.

### Which platforms can I schedule to from Claude?

X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Reddit, Pinterest, YouTube Shorts, and Discord; TikTok limited beta. Connect the accounts in the DunSocial app first.

### What does human confirm mean in Claude?

DunSocial keeps human confirmation in front of publish for AI-written work. Ask Claude to show copy, destinations, time, and timezone, then explicitly confirm before schedule or publish. Do not grant a habit of "just ship it" prompts for live customer accounts.

### Can MCP create social network logins?

No. Connect X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and other networks in the DunSocial web app. MCP uses the accounts already linked to the workspace you approve in OAuth.

### Claude Code or Claude connector?

Use the connector (this page) for Claude.ai, Desktop, and mobile. Use [/claude-code](/claude-code) when you are working inside a repository shell.
