Threads MCP server

Let Claude, Codex or Cursor schedule Threads posts, cross-post from Instagram and read views and engagement over MCP.

What is the aghost Threads MCP server?

aghost's Threads MCP server lets Claude, Codex, Cursor or another MCP client schedule Threads posts with text, photos or videos, edit them before they publish and read views and engagement. One request can post the same update to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X and YouTube, each with its own caption.

Connect it at https://aghost.app/api/mcp. It’s included on every plan.

What your agent can do

Schedule a post here and on your other channels in one request, with its own caption for each
Edit, reschedule or cancel a post before it publishes
Read account and post analytics for the last 7, 30 or 90 days
Suggest posting times from the account's history

What it can post

Text posts up to 500 characters
Up to 10 photos and videos in a post

JPEG or PNG photos up to 20 MB and MP4 or MOV videos up to 300 MB, scheduled at least 5 minutes ahead.

To connect: A Threads account.

Limits and metrics

Caption: 500 characters
Media: Up to 10 photos and videos
Text-only posts: Yes
Metrics: impressions, views, likes, comments, shares

Every copy is checked against these limits before anything is scheduled.

Connect once. Then ask.

Choose a plan and connect your channels in Settings → Channels first. Your agent connects in one of two ways.

Apps with MCP sign-in

In Claude, open Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste the URL. Leave the client ID and secret empty, then choose Allow in aghost.

API key

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others

Create a key in Settings → API and keep it in your agent’s environment or secret store. The setup skill has each client’s steps.

Ask your agent about Threads

Supply your own media and links, then review the result in aghost. Scheduled posts publish at their time.

Share a reel on Threads
“Schedule this reel on Instagram and Threads tonight at 7 PM. Shorten the Threads caption to under 500 characters.”
Queue a week of posts
“Schedule these seven text posts on Threads, one a day at 8 AM starting tomorrow.”
Find what worked
“Which of my Threads posts from the last 30 days got the most views and shares?”

Keep the keys

Agents cannot create API keys, change workspace settings, or connect or disconnect accounts. Revoke a key or an app in Settings → API whenever you’re finished.

What your agent can access

Frequently asked questions

Can my agent post to Threads and Instagram at once?

Yes. One request schedules both, with a caption for each. A DM automation applies to the Instagram copy only.

Can it schedule text-only Threads posts?

Yes. A Threads post can be text alone.

Which Threads metrics can my agent read?

Impressions, views, likes, comments and shares.

Which AI agents can use it?

Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or any MCP client over HTTP. Apps with MCP sign-in need only the URL; other clients send a workspace API key.

How much does it cost?

MCP access is included on every aghost plan, from $29/month, with a 7-day free trial.

Your audience is everywhere. Be there with one post.

Six platforms. Every comment answered. One workspace.
