How much does the Ayrshare API actually cost?
Ayrshare publishes an API, but per-tier gating wasn't extracted automatically.
- Most likely scenario: API access is either included in all paid plans, or it's gated to higher tiers and we need to verify on the live docs page.
- Until verified, treat the question "which plan unlocks the API" as open. Don't budget on the assumption it's free with the cheapest paid plan.
API at a glance
Ayrshare also has an MCP server
If you're wiring Ayrshare into Claude / Cursor / Codex, the MCP server is usually less code than the REST API.

Quickstart template
# Starter template — endpoint paths and SDK package names come from # the Ayrshare API docs: https://www.ayrshare.com/docs/apis/overview curl -X GET "https://www.ayrshare.com/<your-endpoint>" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \ -H "Accept: application/json" | jq .
Template only. Endpoint paths, exact base URL, and auth header format come from ayrshare.com/docs/apis/overview.
Limits and gotchas
- No OpenAPI spec — you write typed clients by hand or use a third-party generator on the docs HTML.
- No official SDK detected. Plan on hitting the API directly with your HTTP client of choice.
- Rate limits: always read the docs page before scaling — the published limit is usually lower than the practical one and overages can be expensive.
Agent-readiness verdict
Solid foundation with official MCP server and documented API, making it viable for Claude workflows. The main limiting factor is the absence of an OpenAPI spec and lack of webhook support, which constrains real-time automation and reduces integration depth for agent-driven social media workflows.
