Common questions

Is Refract safe?

It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 2 days ago, and the latest version (1.2.0) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT Business and above.

What can I use instead?

Refract MCP server

Refract is a social media publishing app. Its remote MCP server lets AI apps such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code draft, approve and schedule posts for you.

https://mcp.refract.social

There is no token to paste. The app opens Refract, you sign in and pick the workspaces and what the app may do, and it connects. Refract supports OAuth discovery, dynamic client registration and PKCE, so the app finds the sign-in on its own.

Connecting

Claude
  1. In Refract, open Settings › API and agents, select Connect Claude, pick the workspaces and what Claude can do, then select Continue in Claude.
  2. In Claude, add a custom connector named Refract with the address above.
  3. Select Connect, then sign in to Refract if it asks.
  4. Check the workspaces and what Claude can do, then select Allow.
ChatGPT
  1. In ChatGPT on the web, open Plugins, select +, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Name it Refract, paste the address and choose OAuth.
  3. Accept the risk warning, select Create as a plugin, then sign in to Refract and pick what ChatGPT can do.
Claude Code

Run this in your terminal, then type /mcp and sign in.

claude mcp add --transport http refract https://mcp.refract.social
Cursor

Add this to .cursor/mcp.json, then sign in when Cursor asks.

{ "mcpServers": { "refract": { "url": "https://mcp.refract.social" } } }
VS Code

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json, then sign in when VS Code asks.

{ "servers": { "refract": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.refract.social" } } }
Other apps

Add a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) with the address above. Refract signs you in through your browser with OAuth.

What a connection can do

When you connect an app you pick its workspaces and one of two levels:

LevelWorks like
Draft and send for approvala ContributorReads, writes drafts, adds files and sends posts for approval
Schedule and publishan EditorAll of that, schedules or publishes posts, sends failed posts again, and edits or removes posts that went out

A connection never does more than your own role allows, and only sees the workspaces it was given. Tools it isn't allowed are not offered to the app at all. Where a workspace asks for approval from AI agents, everything an app schedules waits for approval, just like a teammate's post. Admins see every connection in Settings › API and agents and can remove it at any time.

Tools
