iHatePosting for AI agents

Let Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok Build, Kimi Code or Qwen Code draft, check, schedule and publish posts on 14 social networks, using the accounts you have connected at ihateposting.com. This package gives each agent the hosted iHatePosting MCP server (16 tools) and a skill that teaches it to post safely. Every agent here signs in with your iHatePosting account; none of them needs an API key.

GitHub Copilot in VS Code uses the same hosted server: Install in VS Code, then sign in with your iHatePosting account in the browser. There is no API key to paste. The steps are under Install.

Set-up pages for every agent: Claude · Claude Code · Claude Cowork · ChatGPT · Codex · Cursor · Gemini CLI · Grok Build · VS Code and GitHub Copilot · OpenClaw · Hermes Agent · DeepSeek Harness · Perplexity Computer · Muse · NanoClaw · Paperclip · Antigravity CLI · Amp · Cline · Kilo Code · Zed · Warp · Devin Desktop · OpenHands CLI · Freebuff CLI · omp · all of them

Some of those pages add the server by hand, with an API key; for Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok Build, Kimi Code and Qwen Code, the plugin in this repository signs in instead (Install).

Nothing goes out unless you say so. A new post is saved as a draft unless you ask for it to be published now or at a set time.

What your agent can do

• Draft, schedule or publish one post to several networks at once, either to every account you have on a network or to one account you pick. A time such as "9:00 AM" is read in the timezone set in your iHatePosting settings (Settings → Scheduling), not your computer's.
• Check a post before it exists. validate_post runs the checks the publisher runs just before it posts, and creates nothing. It also tells you when a network has no connected account, or one that needs reconnecting.
• Learn each network's rules: character limit, media rules and the options a network requires, such as a Pinterest board.
• Write per network: different text for one network, and that network's own settings. That covers threads on X, Bluesky, Threads and Mastodon, a first comment on Instagram, LinkedIn and Threads, Instagram Reels, Stories and carousels, Facebook Reels and Stories, TikTok photo posts and privacy, and a YouTube video's title, privacy and playlist.
• Attach media: upload an image or a short video with alt text, or reuse anything already in your media library.
• Manage what is already there: see what happened on each network, rewrite a draft, scheduled or failed post, move it to another time, resend only what failed, or delete it.
• Report results: per-channel numbers, follower counts, posting times and top posts, from 7 days back to everything recorded.

Every plan includes the API key that the MCP server, the REST API and the CLI use. Webhooks come with every plan too.

Tools

The hosted server offers these 16 tools, plus one the upload box uses by itself. The last column is what a tool does to your posts and accounts.

Networks

All 14 networks work through the same tools. Name one in platforms (bluesky, x, linkedin, facebook, threads, mastodon, telegram, discord, tumblr, slack, instagram, pinterest, tiktok, youtube), or pass an account id from list_accounts.

If you leave them out, create_post fills a YouTube title and a Pinterest pin title from the first line of your text, a Pinterest link from the first URL in it, and YouTube and Tumblr tags from its hashtags. validate_post does not fill them in, so it reports a missing YouTube title as a problem.

What each network accepts, with its main options, is in docs/platforms.md. The option keys a post is likely to need, with their values and defaults, are in the reference the skill loads when it needs it (skills/ihateposting/references/platform-options.md). A post can attach at most 20 media items, whatever a network allows.

Example prompts

• "What is scheduled to go out this week, and did anything fail?"
• "Draft this announcement for LinkedIn, Bluesky and X. Give X a shorter version, and check all three before you save."
• "Turn these notes into a thread for X and Threads and save it as a draft."
• "Upload this photo with alt text and draft an Instagram post with it. Put the hashtags in the first comment."
• "Which of my Pinterest boards suits this recipe? Draft a pin to it."
• "Why did yesterday's LinkedIn post fail?"
• "How did my posts do over the last 30 days, and which network did well?"

examples/ has ready-made create_post payloads for threads, Reels, carousels, YouTube, Pinterest, TikTok and more. Every one is a draft.
