Quickstart

Connect PostLake's hosted MCP server to your AI assistant, then just ask it to post. There's no API key to paste. The connection uses OAuth and signs you in through your browser.

https://api.postlake.dev/mcp

Pick your host for the exact steps:

claude mcp add --transport http postlake https://api.postlake.dev/mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postlake": { "url": "https://api.postlake.dev/mcp" }
  }
}

gemini mcp add postlake https://api.postlake.dev/mcp

Post by hand from the PostLake dashboard, no code at all. Good for a quick check that everything works.

1. Create your account

1. Go to app.postlake.dev and sign up with email, Google or GitHub. Verify your email to unlock your free credits.
2. You land on your Dashboard. The top menu, Channels, Create, Posts, Analytics, is where everything lives.

2. Connect a social account

1. Open Channels and make a profile: a named folder for accounts that belong together (a brand, a client, or just “me”). Type a name like my-brand and add it.
2. Under that profile, click Connect an account and pick a network. Bluesky is easiest: it needs no approval and connects in seconds.

3. Publish

1. Open Create, tick the account you connected, type a message, and click Publish.
2. Open that network in another tab. Your post is really there. That's the whole product in one screen.

Post from your own code in a few steps: get a key, then send a post. (Connect a social account first, see the No code tab.)

1. Get an API key

Sign up at app.postlake.dev, then open your account menu → API Keys → Create API key. It shows once, starting sk_live_…. Copy it somewhere safe. Treat it like a password.

2. Post your first message

Swap in your key and a connected profile name. One call publishes to every account under that profile:

# Replace YOUR_API_KEY and the profile name first
curl -X POST https://api.postlake.dev/v1/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "Hello from the PostLake API 👋",
    "profile": "my-brand"
  }'

import requests

# One call publishes to every account under the profile
res = requests.post(
    "https://api.postlake.dev/v1/posts",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={
        "text": "Hello from the PostLake API 👋",
        "profile": "my-brand",  # the profile name from your dashboard
    },
)
print(res.json())

// One call publishes to every account under the profile
const res = await fetch("https://api.postlake.dev/v1/posts", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    text: "Hello from the PostLake API 👋",
    profile: "my-brand", // the profile name from your dashboard
  }),
});
console.log(await res.json());

3. Read the response

You get back the same shape for every network: one post id, plus a targets list with one entry per account and its live URL:

{
  "id": "post_a1b2c3",
  "state": "published",
  "targets": [
    { "platform": "bluesky", "state": "published", "url": "https://bsky.app/…" }
  ]
}
