NewMCP Server for Coding Agents

Give your coding agent a marketing team. Not just a social scheduler.

Add Simplified's hosted MCP connector to Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, and any other MCP-compatible client. Generate images and video, manage brand kits and marketing projects, plan campaigns, and publish across 13 platforms, all without leaving your terminal.

BEYOND SCHEDULING

Your agent doesn't just post. It makes the thing you're posting.

Simplified's connector gives your coding agent a full creative foundation: generate the asset, ground it in your brand, then publish it. No separate design tool required.

AI image generation

Ask your agent for a product shot, a social graphic, or a thumbnail. Simplified generates it across Flux, Google Gemini/Imagen, OpenAI GPT Image, Ideogram, Recraft, Stable Diffusion, Qwen, and Seedream, and saves it as a reusable asset.

AI video generation

Generate text- or reference-guided motion from a prompt, a blog post, or a script. Your agent discovers current model capabilities, submits the job, and polls for the finished render, no video editor required.

Brand kits and reusable context

Structure your approved identity, voice, audiences, positioning, proof points, and content pillars once. Every asset and post your agent creates afterward pulls from that same brand context.

How it connects

And once it's made, it goes out everywhere. To every major platform.

One hosted, OAuth-secured connector. Whatever your agent creates, it reaches 13 social platforms from the same conversation.

Install

Works with your coding agent, out of the box.

Simplified's connector is hosted and OAuth-secured at apikit.simplified.com/mcp, no API token to generate or paste. Every MCP client points at it a little differently. Pick yours below, connect, and complete sign-in in your browser on first use.

  1. 1
    Install the plugin, which adds the connector plus 14 guided skills for social, brand, and campaign work:
    Terminal
    /plugin marketplace add celeryhq/simplified-ai
    /plugin install simplified-ai@simplified-ai
  2. 2
    Claude Code opens an OAuth sign-in for your Simplified workspace on first use. No API token to paste.

Or, to add just the raw connector without the skills

  1. 1
    Run:
    Terminal
    claude mcp add --transport http simplified https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp
  2. 2
    Or edit .mcp.json at your project root directly:
    .mcp.json
    {
     "mcpServers": {
     "simplified": {
     "type": "http",
     "url": "https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp"
     }
     }
    }
  3. 3
    Restart Claude Code (or run /mcp) and complete the OAuth sign-in when prompted.

For more details, see the Claude Code MCP documentation.

Install in Cursor
  1. 1
    Or manually: ShiftJ to open Cursor Settings.
  2. 2
    Select Skills and Integrations.
  3. 3
    Select New MCP Server.
  4. 4
    .cursor/mcp.json
    {
     "mcpServers": {
     "simplified": {
     "url": "https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp"
     }
     }
    }
  5. 5
    Cursor opens an OAuth sign-in for your Simplified workspace on first use. No API token to paste.

Remote servers in Cursor use a plain url field, no command/env. For more details, see the Cursor MCP documentation.

Install in VS Code

If this doesn't work, add it manually:

  1. 1
    ShiftP and search for MCP: Add Server, or edit the file directly:
    .vscode/mcp.json
    {
     "servers": {
     "simplified": {
     "type": "http",
     "url": "https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp"
     }
     }
    }
  2. 2
    VS Code opens an OAuth sign-in for your Simplified workspace on first use. No API token to paste.

VS Code's config key is servers, not mcpServers. For more details, see the VS Code MCP documentation.

  1. 1
    Open your terminal and run:
    Terminal
    [mcp_servers.simplified]
    url = "https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp"
  2. 2
    Save ~/.codex/config.toml, then run:
    Terminal
    codex mcp login simplified

Codex uses a remote-MCP OAuth login step, no API token in the config. For more details, see the Simplified MCP reference.

  1. 1
    Edit ~/.config/amp/settings.json (or project .amp/settings.json) and add:
    ~/.config/amp/settings.json
    {
     "amp.mcpServers": {
     "simplified": {
     "url": "https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp"
     }
     }
    }
  2. 2
    Save the file and restart Amp. Complete OAuth sign-in when Amp prompts for it, no API token to paste.

Amp nests servers under amp.mcpServers; remote servers use url instead of command. For more details, see the Amp MCP documentation.

  1. 1
    Edit ~/.gemini/settings.json and add the MCP server configuration:
    ~/.gemini/settings.json
    {
     "mcpServers": {
     "simplified": {
     "httpUrl": "https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp"
     }
     }
    }
  2. 2
    Save the file and restart Gemini CLI. Complete the OAuth sign-in when prompted, no API token to paste.

Remote servers in Gemini CLI use httpUrl, not command/args. For more details, see the Gemini CLI MCP documentation.

  1. 1
    Edit opencode.json (or ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json) and add:
    opencode.json
    {
     "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
     "mcp": {
     "simplified": {
     "type": "remote",
     "url": "https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp"
     }
     }
    }
  2. 2
    Save the file and restart OpenCode. Complete the OAuth sign-in when prompted, no API token to paste.

OpenCode's shape differs from the rest: servers sit directly under mcp, and a remote server uses "type": "remote" with url instead of "type": "local" with command. For more details, see the OpenCode MCP documentation.

  1. 1
    Open Warp and navigate to MCP server settings using one of these methods:
    • From Warp Drive: Personal → MCP Servers
    • From the Command Palette: search for Open MCP Servers
    • From Settings: Settings → Agents → MCP Servers

  4. 4
    Warp Drive → MCP Servers
    {
     "Simplified": {
     "url": "https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp"
     }
    }
  5. 5
    Complete the OAuth sign-in when Warp prompts for it, no API token to paste.

No wrapper key needed for a single server. For more details, see the Warp MCP documentation.

  1. 1
    Open Windsurf Settings.

    {
     "mcpServers": {
     "simplified": {
     "serverUrl": "https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp"
     }
     }
    }
  4. 4
    Restart Windsurf and complete the OAuth sign-in when prompted, no API token to paste.

Remote servers in Windsurf use serverUrl, not command/args. For more details, see the Windsurf MCP documentation.

  1. 1
    , to open Zed settings (Ctrl+, on Windows/Linux) and add:
    ~/.config/zed/settings.json
    {
     "context_servers": {
     "simplified": {
     "url": "https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp"
     }
     }
    }

Open-source skill

Teach your AI agent to create and post. One command.

simplified-ai is an open-source plugin for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor: 14 shared skills covering image and video generation, brand kits, marketing projects, and social, all running on Simplified's hosted MCP connector. No config file to edit.

Terminal
npx skills add celeryhq/simplified-ai

Works in any agent that reads skills.sh.

simplified-social

Draft, post, and measure

Queue posts across all 13 platforms, then read the analytics back. Your agent always asks before it spends a credit or hits publish, so nothing goes out by surprise.

generate-image / generate-video

Make the asset, keep it reusable

Text to image or video across Flux, Imagen, GPT Image, and more. Save a render as a permanent asset and your agent can drop it straight into a post.

manage-brand

Set the brand context once

Structure your approved identity, voice, audiences, and positioning as reusable context. Every skill after this one reads from it before it creates anything.

manage-projects

Turn a plan into deliverables

Approved plans become projects with items, assignments, comments, and exports, so your agent's output has a home beyond a single post.

See it in action

One prompt. Scheduled and published.

Watch Simplified's MCP server take a single instruction and turn it into scheduled posts across your social accounts: no dashboard, no copy-paste.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Most MCP servers give your agent a publish button. Simplified gives it your whole workspace.

From generating the first draft of an asset to publishing it everywhere, your coding agent works with the same tools you do, not just a caption box.

Run marketing projects, not just posts

Turn an approved brief into a project with deliverables, review gates, comments, and assignments, straight from your agent. It's project management for the content pipeline, not just a caption box.

Schedule and post across 13 platforms

Tell your agent to schedule your LinkedIn post for Tuesday at 9 AM and your Instagram Reel for Thursday at 6 PM. It handles timing, platform formatting, and publishing while you move on.

Post with platform-specific customization

Each platform has its own character limits, hashtag norms, and aspect ratios, and Simplified's connector understands this. It can also queue timed auto-comments, like a link in the first comment a set number of minutes after a post goes live.

Retrieve your accounts and workspace context

Ask your agent which accounts are connected, resolve the right client workspace, or pull account details before drafting platform-specific copy. Your AI has the full picture before it creates anything.

Route content through review before it publishes

Every draft your agent creates stays a draft until you confirm. Bundle selected drafts into a shareable review link so a client or teammate can approve or edit before anything goes live. Agencies get one bundle per client per campaign, so drafts never cross workspace boundaries.

Brand-consistent by default

Every asset and post your agent creates through Simplified's MCP draws on your Brand Kit: saved colors, voice, positioning, and approved examples. Unlike Zapier MCP, Simplified knows your brand before it writes a single word.

Edit images and video after the fact

Background removal, upscaling, outpainting, inpainting, restoration, and format conversion for images. Merge, trim, reverse, speed up, or add B-roll to video, plus transcription. Your agent can fix the asset, not just generate a new one.

Turn results into the next move

Pull time-series and per-post analytics, aggregated KPIs, and audience demographics, then let your agent turn that into three prioritized actions and a next experiment instead of a wall of numbers.

Create and publish. One agent conversation. Free to start.

Why Simplified's MCP Server Is Different

There are now half a dozen social media MCP servers. Simplified does more than post.

Simplified vs. Zapier MCP

Zapier MCP connects your AI to 9,000+ apps, including a handful of social tools. Buffer's Zapier MCP, for example, supports three actions: create an idea, pause a queue, add to a queue.

Simplified's hosted connector spans 105 tools across social, AI image and video generation, brand kits, marketing project management, and analytics, with no Zapier service sitting in the middle and no API key to manage. No middleware. No extra monthly cost. No action limits.

And Zapier's MCP doesn't know your brand. Simplified does. Every post your agent creates through Simplified's MCP can draw on your Brand Kit.

Simplified vs. Vista Social and Outstand

Vista Social and Outstand both offer solid social media MCP integrations, but both are scheduling-only tools. They can post what your AI writes. They can't help create it.

Simplified is a full marketing platform: design, AI writing, video, scheduling, and analytics in one workspace. Its MCP server inherits that capability. You're not just wiring your agent to a publish button. You're giving it access to a creative infrastructure.

Simplified vs. Postiz

Postiz's MCP integration is primarily developer-facing, and the underlying tool doesn't have design, video, or brand management built in. If you need to create content before you post it, and most teams do, Postiz requires you to bring your own creation workflow.

With Simplified, creation and scheduling live in the same platform. Your agent can draft the caption and schedule the post in one conversation.

Social Media MCP Servers: Feature Comparison

The short version: other MCP servers let your AI post. Simplified lets your AI generate the image or video, manage the brand and project behind it, approve it, and post, all through one hosted connector.

Questions about the MCP Server

Everything you'd want to know before you install.

What is MCP and how does it work with Simplified?

MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets AI models access external tools and data instead of just generating text. It gives an AI agent a menu of real actions it can take. Simplified's MCP connector gives your coding agent access to a full marketing workspace: generate images and video, manage brand kits and marketing projects, plan content calendars, and schedule and publish social posts, all from your terminal or IDE, no dashboard required.

Which AI tools and coding agents work with Simplified's MCP server?

Any MCP-compatible client. That includes Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Amp, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Warp, Windsurf, and Zed, plus Claude Desktop and Claude.ai through a Custom Connector. The connector is hosted and OAuth-secured: point your client at one URL and complete a sign-in, no API token to copy around and no local process to run.

Which social media platforms does Simplified's MCP server support?

13 platforms: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, X/Twitter, Google Business Profile, Mastodon, Reddit, and Telegram. Each platform gets correctly formatted posts: character limits, media requirements, and platform-specific options are handled automatically, plus timed auto-comments for patterns like "link in the first comment."

Is Simplified's MCP server free?

The connector and the open-source plugin that installs it are free (MIT license), and connecting requires only OAuth sign-in, no API token to buy or manage. You do need a Simplified account, and Simplified has a free plan that includes 3 connected social accounts and 10 scheduled posts per month. If you need more capacity, paid plans add more connected accounts, full analytics, and approval workflows.

Do I need coding skills to install it?

No. For Claude Code, a one-line plugin install adds the connector and its guided skills. For Claude Desktop and Claude.ai, add a Custom Connector, paste the URL, and complete OAuth in the browser, no config file to edit. For Cursor, Codex, VS Code, and every other MCP client, you paste one short config block pointing at the hosted connector URL. No programming knowledge required.

Can my AI agent create content through the MCP server, or only schedule it?

It can do both, and this is what separates Simplified from a posting-only MCP server. Your agent can generate on-brand images and video across multiple models, pull from your Brand Kit and saved context, turn a brief into a content calendar or a cross-platform campaign, repurpose long-form content into channel-native posts, and act on performance data, not just publish captions. The content it creates draws on your Simplified workspace: your brand kit, your templates, your saved assets.

How does content approval work through the MCP server?

When your agent drafts a post through Simplified's MCP, it stays a draft until you confirm, then it can be routed through a shareable review bundle before anything publishes. A team member or client opens the review link, approves or edits the content, and only then does it go live. Agencies get one bundle per client per campaign, so drafts and approvals never cross client boundaries. Nothing publishes without an explicit confirm.
