SocialPilot MCP server: official

How to connect SocialPilot MCP to Claude Desktop

Add this block to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows), then restart Claude Desktop. Cursor and Codex use a similar schema.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "socialpilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "<YOUR_MCP_URL>"]
    }
  }
}
// HTTP-transport MCP. Get your <YOUR_MCP_URL> from the vendor dashboard.
// Server source: https://mcp.socialpilot.co/mcp
// Claude Code (one-liner): claude mcp add socialpilot <YOUR_MCP_URL> --transport http

Some MCP servers require an API key. Check the source page for setup: mcp.socialpilot.co/mcp.

Does SocialPilot MCP cost extra?

Included with subscription

SocialPilot ships an official MCP server that uses your existing subscription credentials.

No separate MCP licence to buy. You pay for your SocialPilot plan, the MCP server queries that account.
Whether it's gated to a specific tier wasn't extracted automatically — verify the access requirements on the MCP page or pricing docs.

SocialPilot also publishes a REST API

SocialPilot publishes an API, but per-tier gating wasn't extracted automatically.

What you can do with SocialPilot from an AI agent

Three shapes of agent workflow. Pick the row that matches how you actually use Claude / Cursor / Codex day to day.

INDIE / SOLO

Skip the dashboard, ask Claude

"What changed this week?" answered in seconds
Quick one-off questions without leaving the editor
Pipe SocialPilot data into your personal notes / docs without writing a script

Effort: 30 seconds — paste the config, restart Claude

AGENCY

Run client analysis at agent speed

Hand the MCP server to your team — every consultant can ask Claude about any client's SocialPilot account
Multi-account workflows without context-switching the SocialPilot UI
Reports you'd normally spend hours on, done before standup

Effort: An afternoon — set up auth per client

IN-HOUSE TEAM

Production agent workflows

Embed in your internal Codex / Cursor agents that triage SocialPilot data daily
Combine with other MCP servers in a multi-step agent chain
Constrain agents to read-only roles to keep production SocialPilot safe

Effort: Days — security review + role config

Limits and gotchas

Official MCP server — published by SocialPilot themselves, so it should track product changes.
Fallback: the REST API works for any flow the MCP server doesn't cover.
Auth flow: MCP servers usually inherit the underlying API auth method (oauth2). Expect to configure that on first install.
Rate limits: MCP calls count against your underlying SocialPilot API quota. Burst usage from a curious agent can drain a daily allowance fast.

SocialPilot MCP & API FAQ

Is the SocialPilot MCP server official?+

Yes — an official, vendor-maintained server at https://mcp.socialpilot.co/mcp.

Can I use the SocialPilot MCP with Cursor or Codex?+

Yes — MCP is a protocol, not Claude-specific. Any MCP-capable client (Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Zed) can use the same server config with minor path adjustments.
