Description from the maker (original English)
AI social media team for founders: posts and short video to LinkedIn, X, Instagram, TikTok and more.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 3 of 3 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.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
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.
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.3) reached the registry 8 days ago.
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 in developer mode.

An MCP server retrieving transcripts of YouTube videos
GA4 MCP server for AI agents: schema discovery, server-side aggregation, analysis-ready defaults.
AI video summarizer: summarize and transcribe YouTube, Bilibili, TikTok and podcast videos.
Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.
ShapelessAI runs your social presence: it drafts, schedules, and publishes content across your connected platforms, holds your Brand Memory, and keeps standing agents working while you sleep.
This repo is the public home of the agent surface: the shapeless CLI, the MCP server, the Claude Code plugin, and the issue tracker. Your agent or script drives a ShapelessAI account: write and schedule posts, create jobs and resume stuck ones, approve and publish, edit Brand Memory, manage the standing agents.
The documentation lives at [shapelessai.com/docs](https://shapelessai.com/docs) - routes, scopes, platform limits, refusal codes, one page per subject. Every page also answers raw Markdown: append .md to its path (https://shapelessai.com/docs/posts.md) or send Accept: text/markdown. An agent that wants all of it in one fetch should read shapelessai.com/llms-full.txt.
npx shapelessai --help # one-off
npm i -g shapelessai # keeps shapeless on your PATH
Node 20 or newer.
Mint a key in the studio: Settings -> API keys (/studio/api-keys). Give it only the scopes the caller needs - read, write, or publish. Only publish can put content out.
shapeless login # paste the key; we verify it and store it 0600
export SHAPELESS_API_KEY=slk_... # or: env var, beats the stored key
Config lives in ~/.config/shapeless/config.json. SHAPELESS_BASE_URL overrides the API host (default https://shapelessai.com). shapeless logout forgets the local copy; revoke the key itself in the studio.
Every command takes --json to print the raw API response, and --help.
Write it yourself and put it on the rail - now, at a time, or in the account's next free queue slot. Needs the publish scope.
shapeless connections # the accounts and their ids
shapeless platforms # limits, media rules, settings schema (no key needed)
shapeless posts create --to --text "Shipping day." # now shapeless posts create --to --text "..." --at 2026-09-21T09:00:00+03:00 # at a time shapeless posts create --to --text "..." --queue # next free slot shapeless posts create --to --text "..." --media k1,k2 \ --first-comment "Link: https://..." # LinkedIn, X, Bluesky shapeless posts create --to --text "..." --media \ --title "The video title" --settings '{"privacyStatus":"unlisted"}'
The MCP tool is posts_create with the same arguments: connectionId, text, mediaKeys, title, scheduledAt or queue: true, settings, firstComment. Read platforms_list first for the platform's limits and its settingsSchema.
Free plan: ten posts a day on the rail, counted on the UTC day each post goes out on, so a week planned ahead is ten a day rather than ten in total. The eleventh answers 402 {code: "free_daily_cap", limit, day, resetsAt}, which names the day that is full. X bills per post, so Free posts to X once a day and without links (402 free_x_daily_cap, free_x_link); the $9 Scheduler plan lifts the daily cap and carries 150 X posts a month, and the agent plans have no cap. Composing, scheduling and publishing never spend credits, and Free also carries 125 credits a month for the agent team. Details: shapelessai.com/docs/posts.
A job is a run the server keeps going whether or not you stay connected - the right shape for agents and cron.

The hosted server is `https://shapelessai.com/mcp`. Add that URL to any host that speaks remote MCP - Claude (Settings -> Connectors -> Add custom connector), ChatGPT (Developer mode), Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Gemini CLI - and it opens a ShapelessAI tab to sign in and allow. OAuth, no key. The steps for each host, in the vendor's words, are at shapelessai.com/connect.
A client that cannot open a browser (the Agent SDK, a CI job, a self-hosted agent) skips OAuth: send an API key from Settings -> API keys as Authorization: Bearer slk_... to the same URL. Any MCP client that sets a header works; the scope is the key's.
curl -s https://shapelessai.com/mcp -H "Authorization: Bearer $SHAPELESS_API_KEY" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user shapeless https://shapelessai.com/mcp # then /mcp -> Authenticate
codex mcp add shapeless --url https://shapelessai.com/mcp && codex mcp login shapeless gemini mcp add --transport http shapeless https://shapelessai.com/mcp
The same tools (posts_create, jobs_create, posts_approve, brain_write, ...) also run locally: shapeless mcp speaks MCP on stdio with the API key from shapeless login, and adds the tools that read your disk (assets_upload, brain_import, and files on a job message). Every tool carries a title and annotations - read-only tools run freely, anything that publishes, spends or overwrites is flagged destructive so a host asks you first - and each description names the scope it needs.
Beyond the account tools, every tool our own studio agent holds is its own MCP tool too: generate_image, generate_footage, edit_footage, render_carousel, speak, caption_file, web_search, x_pulse and the rest. Each answers the files it made as media keys you can publish with posts_create. The table with what each one costs is at shapelessai.com/docs/mcp; tools_list reads it live.
A job is a conversation, so work passes both ways between your terminal and the web app:
https://shapelessai.com/studio/c/ - so an agent can hand the human back a link to what it just did.jobs_get still gives the full transcript.nextCursor; pass it back as before to walk further into the history.{live: false} instead of erroring.files (absolute local paths - .md/.txt ride inline, images, video, audio and PDF are uploaded here) and mediaKeys (anything already in the account, e.g. what assets_upload returned). Up to 6 per message. They land on the message the human sees in the studio, and the agent reads them for real - an image's pixels are inlined for that turn, not just its filename.There is one prompt, `continue` (argument: id), which Claude Code surfaces as a slash command: it loads that conversation's brief and tells the agent to reply into the same thread with jobs_continue.
Running the stdio server instead of the hosted one - Claude Code:
claude mcp add shapeless -e SHAPELESS_API_KEY=slk_... -- npx shapelessai mcp
Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json), and other stdio-only hosts:
{
"mcpServers": { "shapeless": { "command": "npx", "args": ["shapelessai", "mcp"], "env": { "SHAPELESS_API_KEY": "slk_..." } } } }
Without the env var the server uses the key stored by shapeless login.
plugins/shapeless is also an Agent Plugins 1.0 package (plugin.json, mcp.json, skills/), so any client that loads that format installs the hosted MCP server and the skill from this repo. Gemini CLI reads gemini-extension.json at the root:
gemini extensions install https://github.com/FirstClassTree/shapelessai
This repo is also a plugin marketplace. The shapeless plugin wires up the hosted MCP server and ships a skill that teaches Claude the ropes - scopes, the post queue, when to touch Brand Memory:
/plugin marketplace add FirstClassTree/shapelessai
/plugin install shapeless@shapeless
Then run /mcp, pick shapeless and choose Authenticate - a browser tab signs you in once.
