# MCP Server

Schedule & Chill ships a native [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server, so AI tools — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or your own agent — can schedule posts, upload video from your machine, and read your queue as first-class tools. No glue code: the agent calls tools directly.

## Two ways to connect

There are two endpoints. They expose exactly the same tools, resources and prompts — only the way you sign in differs.

| | Endpoint | Sign in with | Use it when |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Connect with a link** (recommended) | `https://schedulenchill.com/mcp-oauth` | OAuth 2.1 — you approve a consent screen in your browser | Your tool has an "Add connector" or "Add MCP server" button: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Zapier |
| **Connect with an API key** | `https://schedulenchill.com/mcp` | A bearer token you paste into a config file | Your tool wants a static header, or you are scripting it |

### Connect with a link (recommended)

Paste this URL into your AI tool and approve the screen it shows you:

```
https://schedulenchill.com/mcp-oauth
```

There is no key to create, copy, or store. Your tool discovers everything it needs from the URL, sends you to a Schedule & Chill consent screen that names the tool and lists what it is asking for, and gets its own token once you approve. Each tool is approved separately and can be revoked on its own. Your password is never shared.

### Connect with an API key

```
https://schedulenchill.com/mcp
```

Send the key as a bearer token on every request:

```
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```

Create a key under **Settings → API Keys** (see [Authentication](/help/developers/authentication)).

## What it exposes

| Kind                                         | Items                                                                                                         |
| -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Tools](/help/developers/mcp/tools)                     | 22 in total — `schedule_post`, `update_post`, `get_post`, `list_posts`, `cancel_post`, `publish_now`, `retry_post`, `duplicate_post`, `delete_post`, `restore_post`, `get_accounts`, `get_groups`, `get_capabilities`, `get_queue_slots`, `browse_media`, `upload_media`, `update_media`, `get_stats`, `get_analytics` and more |
| [Resources](/help/developers/mcp/resources-and-prompts) | Connected Accounts, Upcoming Schedule, Media Library, Get Started                                             |
| [Prompts](/help/developers/mcp/resources-and-prompts)   | `content_idea`, `draft_post`                                                                                  |

## Connecting

**[Connect your AI tool](/help/developers/mcp/connect)** has copy-paste setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Windsurf, Zed, Kimi CLI, OpenClaw, Hermes, and any other MCP client.

The short version — Claude Code, one command, no key:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http schedulenchill https://schedulenchill.com/mcp-oauth
```

Then run `/mcp` and approve it in the browser window that opens.

In **Claude**, **ChatGPT** or **Zapier**, add a custom connector and paste `https://schedulenchill.com/mcp-oauth` — there is nothing else to fill in.

Clients that speak stdio only (Claude Desktop, Codex, Zed) still need the `mcp-remote` bridge rather than a plain URL — the setup guide covers each one.

## A typical agent flow

1. Call `get_accounts` to discover where it can post.
2. Optionally `browse_media` (or `upload_media` from a URL) to attach visuals.
3. Call `schedule_post` with content, platforms, and an optional time.
4. Confirm with `list_scheduled`, or `cancel_post` to undo.

See [Tools](/help/developers/mcp/tools) for full parameters.
