MCP
MCP tools
Every tool the server offers, what it needs, and which ones spend credits.
An assistant only sees the tools its permissions allow. Read-only tools never change anything; tools marked destructive delete data and say so to the assistant.
| Tool | What it does | Needs scope | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
list_social_accounts | Lists the social accounts the user has connected, with whether each needs reconnecting. Call this first: the platform names it returns are what create_post accepts. | accounts:read | read-only |
list_posts | Lists posts by status (draft, scheduled, published, failed), newest scheduled first. Optionally filter by tag. | posts:read | read-only |
get_post | Returns one post with the per-platform result: status, link to the live post, and a plain-language error when it failed. | posts:read | read-only |
create_post | Creates a post. With scheduled_at it is scheduled to every listed platform (using the most recently connected account of each); without it, it is saved as a draft the user can review in the dashboard. Does not publish immediately. Call list_social_accounts first. Pass idempotency_key when retrying. | posts:write | - |
update_post | Changes the caption, title, tags or time of a draft or a scheduled post. Giving a draft a scheduled_at schedules it. Published posts cannot be edited. | posts:write | - |
delete_post | Permanently deletes a draft or a scheduled post that has not started publishing. Cannot be undone. Published posts must be deleted on the platform. | posts:write | destructive |
upload_media_from_url | Downloads a public https image or short video (up to 25 MB) into the media library and returns a media_id to use in create_post. | media:write | - |
shorten_links | Replaces every http(s) link in the text with a creatorhyve.com short link that counts clicks, and returns the new text. | links:manage | - |
list_templates | Lists the saved templates and signatures (reusable text such as a hashtag block or a closing line) so they can be reused in posts. | posts:read | read-only |
save_template | Saves reusable text as a template, or as a signature (text appended to the end of posts). Up to 50 per user. | posts:write | - |
get_usage | Returns the plan, credit balance, how many posts can still be scheduled this month, and how many credits assistants may still spend today. | posts:read | read-only |
get_analytics | Totals (views, likes, comments), a per-platform breakdown and the top posts for the last N days. Metrics are collected once a day. | analytics:read | read-only |
get_brand_kit | Returns the user's brand voice, tone, keywords, content pillars and target audience. Use it to write posts in their voice. | posts:read | read-only |
generate_image | Generates one AI image and saves it to the media library. Spends credits (see get_usage). Returns a media_id usable in create_post. | media:write | spends credits |
list_autoflows | Lists the 10 most recent AutoFlows (campaigns that generate and schedule posts) with their status. | posts:read | read-only |
launch_autoflow | Creates an AutoFlow that writes and schedules posts for a goal. Spends credits: call once with confirm=false to see the cost, then again with confirm=true. Default mode is "review" (posts wait for the user to approve them). | posts:write | spends credits |

create_post accepts an idempotency_key. Reusing it with the same arguments returns the first post instead of creating a second one, which matters when an assistant retries.
