You already live in Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor. ContentStudio ships its own MCP server. DunSocial ships a hosted MCP with **53 tools**. That means you can switch from ContentStudio to DunSocial by treating migration as an agent-to-agent handoff you can review: dump the publishing queue to Markdown with ContentStudio MCP, recreate drafts with DunSocial MCP, test one small prompt yourself, then check the calendar the next day.

This guide is for solo founders, indie makers, & small teams who want one flat price, a brand memory the AI actually uses, & scheduling from the AI assistant they already work in. The path is ContentStudio MCP → Markdown → DunSocial MCP: reviewable drafts, human confirm before publish, then a next-day calendar check. Start a [14-day free trial](https://app.dunsocial.com/login) when you are ready to connect accounts & run the test.

For side-by-side context, skim [DunSocial vs ContentStudio](/compare/dunsocial-vs-contentstudio) or the [ContentStudio alternative page](/alternatives/contentstudio), then come back here for the move. If you are comparing tools rather than migrating an existing setup, the [best ContentStudio alternatives](/blog/best-contentstudio-alternatives-with-brand-memory) roundup covers that decision instead.

## The smart path: ContentStudio MCP → Markdown → DunSocial MCP

There is no silent black-box import here, & that is the point. You get a reviewable Markdown dump, a test run, & human confirmation before anything goes live:

1. **Connect ContentStudio's MCP server** at `https://mcp.contentstudio.io/v1/mcp` in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or another MCP-compatible client. ContentStudio documents the endpoint, its OAuth sign-in, & an API-key fallback (`?auth_key=<your-api-key>`) on its own [MCP Server help page](https://docs.contentstudio.io/articles/contentstudio-mcp-server-bf6f907c).
2. **Ask the assistant to list your connected profiles & dump the upcoming queue** (& any drafts you care about) into Markdown. One post per file works well: profile or network, scheduled time, body, media notes.
3. **Connect DunSocial MCP** at `https://api.dunsocial.com/api/mcp` in the same client. DunSocial's hosted MCP ships **53 tools** & is included on the base plan. See [DunSocial MCP](/mcp).
4. **Point the assistant at those Markdown files** & recreate drafts & schedules through DunSocial. Keep human confirm on before publish.
5. **Run a small test prompt** (one or two posts), open the app, then check the calendar the next day before you deepen the cutover.

MCP plus Markdown is the intentional path: the agent does the heavy lift, you keep the gates. You do not need ContentStudio's CSV export or a manual copy-paste pass. Verify the tool names your client actually exposes before a bulk dump; MCP servers can rename tools between releases.

## Why teams move from ContentStudio to DunSocial

- **One flat price instead of stacked add-ons.** $20/mo (or $192/yr) covers every supported network. No per-account or per-workspace charges, & extra teammates are a simple $8/mo seat.
- **Brand memory with no credit meter.** AI Memory & Voice Presets are pulled into every draft on every platform, unmetered, so you never ration AI while you get your voice right.
- **Draft & schedule from your AI assistant.** Hosted MCP with **53 tools** is included on the base plan, so Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor can plan your week & hand you drafts to approve.
- **Human confirm before publish.** Nothing goes live until you say so.

## Fit check before you move

DunSocial publishes to **X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Reddit, Pinterest, YouTube Shorts, Discord, & Slack**, with TikTok & Facebook Pages in limited beta. If your ContentStudio queue lives on those networks, this guide covers the whole move.

**Price:** $20/mo or $192/yr, with a 14-day free trial, 1 seat in the base plan, & extra seats at $8/mo. See [pricing](/pricing).

**MCP:** 53 tools, included on the base plan. Endpoint: `https://api.dunsocial.com/api/mcp`.

**ContentStudio pricing snapshot:** Standard is $29/month billed monthly, or $19/month billed yearly ($228/yr), for 1 user, 1 workspace, & 5 social accounts, with a 7-day trial & no free tier. Standard does not offer add-ons at all; growing past those limits means upgrading to Advanced first. On Advanced & up, extra capacity is billed per unit: an extra social account is $5/month, an extra user is $10/month, & an extra workspace is $10/month, on top of the $49/month (annual) or $69/month (month-to-month) Advanced base price. A small team that outgrows Standard's 1 workspace, 1 user, & 5 accounts ends up paying for the Advanced tier plus stacked add-ons, confirmed against [ContentStudio's own billing docs](https://docs.contentstudio.io/articles/billing-and-pricing-b3f548f4) & a third-party [pricing breakdown](https://toolradar.com/tools/contentstudio). DunSocial's single flat workspace price is why those teams cut over. Verify current numbers before you compare.

## Setup (once)

Do these four steps once. After that, the prompts below reuse the same connectors.

### Connect ContentStudio MCP

Add a custom MCP connector pointed at `https://mcp.contentstudio.io/v1/mcp`. Complete the ContentStudio OAuth sign-in (or pass an API key from Settings → API Key if your client does not support OAuth sign-in). Confirm the assistant can list your connected profiles & see scheduled or planned content. Setup notes for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, & other MCP-compatible clients are on ContentStudio's [MCP Server page](https://docs.contentstudio.io/articles/contentstudio-mcp-server-bf6f907c). Verify tool names in-client before a bulk dump.

### Start DunSocial & connect accounts

[Log in or start the trial](https://app.dunsocial.com/login), then connect the overlapping networks in the DunSocial app first. MCP needs those accounts in place before it can create drafts against the right channels.

### Connect DunSocial MCP

In DunSocial, open Settings → MCP & add `https://api.dunsocial.com/api/mcp`. Approve workspace scopes. Posts created through MCP are tagged with source "MCP," which makes the migration trail easy to audit. Details & **53 tools** coverage are on the [MCP page](/mcp). Prefer the CLI? The same workspace works with the [DunSocial CLI](/cli).

### Save brand voice before bulk-recreate

Set AI Memory & a Voice Preset before you recreate the queue. The test prompt should prove voice & scheduling, not just that a draft appeared. DunSocial's memory is unmetered, unlike ContentStudio's AI Studio credit pools, so there is no allowance to ration while you get voice right.

## Migration checklist

Work the list in order. The test step & the next-day check keep you from double-posts & gaps.

### 1. Dump ContentStudio queue to Markdown

With ContentStudio MCP connected, paste **Prompt A**. Ask for the next 14 days (or your live window). Aim for `./contentstudio-export/` with one Markdown file per post: profile or network, ISO scheduled time, body text, media notes or "needs re-upload." Do not delete or edit anything in ContentStudio during the dump.

### 2. Review the Markdown (human gate)

Skim every file. Keep, drop, or rewrite. Note media that needs a fresh upload into DunSocial's media library, including any images you made in ContentStudio. The assistant exported the queue; you decide what is worth recreating, & it's a good moment to cut posts that no longer fit your voice.

### 3. Test the prompt (before the full queue)

Paste **Prompt B**. It should create drafts for the first two posts only, match network & time as closely as DunSocial supports, & tell you what to open in the app. Do not publish yet. Review those drafts & confirm the schedule. If the test fails, fix voice, media, or channel mapping before you scale.

### 4. Recreate the rest via DunSocial MCP

When the test looks good, paste **Prompt C**. Prefer draft plus schedule over publish-now. Attach media through DunSocial when URLs alone are not enough. Keep human confirmation on. Ask for a short summary of what it created & what it skipped.

### 5. Pick a handover date & avoid doubles

Choose a cutover day. New work lands in DunSocial from that point. Cancel matching ContentStudio queue items that should not fire. A short overlap is fine if you are deliberate about which calendar owns each post.

### 6. Check the next day

The morning after: open the DunSocial calendar (& ContentStudio if still live). Confirm yesterday's test or early cutover posts went out once, previews matched, & nothing failed silently. Only then deepen the cutover.

### 7. Cancel ContentStudio

After the next-day check passes & the DunSocial calendar matches your intent, cancel ContentStudio. Download any media you still want first. From here, one flat workspace price covers every account you add.

## Copy-paste prompts

Use these as written. Adjust the date window or folder name if needed, but keep "drafts first / no publish without confirmation." Tune against live ContentStudio & DunSocial tool names before a full cutover.

### Prompt A: Dump ContentStudio queue to Markdown

<CodeSnippet
	label="prompt"
	highlight={false}
	code={`Using ContentStudio MCP, list my connected profiles and every scheduled/planned post for the next 14 days. For each post write a Markdown file in \`./contentstudio-export/\` with profile/network, scheduled time (ISO), body text, and media notes or "needs re-upload". Do not delete or edit anything in ContentStudio.`}
/>

### Prompt B: Test migrate one or two posts

<CodeSnippet
	label="prompt"
	highlight={false}
	code={`Using DunSocial MCP and the files in \`./contentstudio-export/\`, take the first two posts only. Create drafts in my DunSocial workspace (do not publish now). Match network and time as closely as supported. Tag or note source as migrated-from-ContentStudio. Then tell me exactly what to open in the DunSocial app to review.`}
/>

### Prompt C: Migrate the rest after test passes

<CodeSnippet
	label="prompt"
	highlight={false}
	code={`Using DunSocial MCP and every file in \`./contentstudio-export/\`, create drafts (prefer draft + schedule over publish-now). Match network and time for platforms DunSocial covers (X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Reddit, Pinterest, YouTube Shorts, Discord, Slack, TikTok and Facebook Pages beta). Summarize what you created and what you skipped. Do not publish without my confirmation.`}
/>

## Common mistakes

- **Skipping the test prompt** & dumping the whole queue blind into DunSocial.
- **Publishing from MCP** without human confirm. Keep confirm on until you trust the mapping.
- **Leaving the same post scheduled in ContentStudio & DunSocial.** That is how you get doubles.
- **Cancelling ContentStudio before the next-day check.** Finish the proof, then cancel.

## After the switch

Once the calendar is yours again, DunSocial is set up for how founders already work: Daily Ideas, Memory & Voice Presets so drafts stay on-brand without a credit pool to watch, & MCP so you can ship from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor. The same **53 MCP tools** that helped you migrate stay available for everyday drafting & scheduling, & the [CLI](/cli) covers the same workspace from the terminal.

If you have not started yet, open the [trial](https://app.dunsocial.com/login), connect overlapping accounts, & run Prompt A through C in order. Pricing is on [pricing](/pricing).

## FAQ

### Can I import ContentStudio automatically?

Yes, in a reviewable way: ContentStudio MCP → Markdown → DunSocial MCP. Agent-to-agent migration with human gates, not a silent CSV black box.

### When do I cancel ContentStudio?

After the test prompt looks right & the next-day calendar check passes. Cancel matching ContentStudio queue items on the handover date so nothing double-posts, then cancel (or downgrade) last.

### Is DunSocial MCP included?

Yes. DunSocial MCP includes **53 tools** & is part of the base plan. Endpoint: `https://api.dunsocial.com/api/mcp`. See [DunSocial MCP](/mcp).

### Can I review before go-live?

Yes. Human confirmation before publish is how DunSocial works. Prefer drafts (& scheduled drafts) during migration, then approve in the app.

### Will I pay per-account add-ons on DunSocial?

No per-account or per-workspace add-ons. One flat $20/mo workspace covers all 10 generally available networks, & the only extra is $8/mo per additional teammate seat. Compare that with ContentStudio's Advanced add-ons of $5 per account, $10 per user, & $10 per workspace each month.
