AI Draft-First Automation
Agents create drafts. Postly stays in control. No direct publishing in v1.
Draft-first AI automation
AI Social Media Automation
that doesn't go rogue
MCP AutoPost lets external AI agents generate draft posts and optionally request auto-scheduling. Postly applies your workspace rules, approvals, limits, and audit logs.
What MCP AutoPost does
Automate content creation and scheduling while keeping approvals, rules, and safety controls inside Postly.
Smart Auto-Scheduling
Postly schedules using your rules: time windows, limits, gaps, timezone, approvals.
Scoped Agent Tokens
Workspace-bound, revocable, time-limited tokens. Built for safe automation.
Audit Trail & Controls
Pause/resume, revoke instantly, and review an activity log of every agent action.
How it works (simple)
Create an Agent Token
Name the agent, choose scopes, set expiration. Token is shown once.
Agent creates drafts
Drafts show up in Postly like any other content. Optional media attachments.
Postly schedules safely
Rules decide the slot. If approvals are required, it becomes Needs Approval.
Safety & control defaults
- No rogue posting: Agents never publish directly; drafts + scheduler only.
- Deduplication: Use source + source_id to prevent duplicates across RSS/Sheets/webhooks.
- Rate limits: Per-token guardrails with backoff recommendations.
- Plan gating: AI Studio required for image/video/avatar generation.

Is this an “auto poster” that publishes on its own?
No. In v1, agents create drafts and can request scheduling, but Postly remains the system of record and enforces rules and approvals.
Can I run this from Google Sheets or RSS?
Yes. Sheets, RSS, and webhooks can feed content into automations that result in drafts and scheduled posts.
Do agents need my Postly API key?
No. MCP uses Agent Tokens that are scoped, workspace-bound, time-limited, and revocable.
What happens if my workspace requires approvals?
Scheduled items become Needs Approval until someone approves them—automation still works safely.
Does AI Studio matter?
Only for media generation. Draft creation and scheduling work without AI Studio; images/videos/avatars require the AI Studio Add-on.
