# Post to Social Media from Claude Code

Claude Code (coding agent by Anthropic)

Guide: https://lots.social/agents/claude-code

Add LotsSocial to Claude Code with one command and sign in once. Then draft, schedule and check your posts from the same terminal session where you ship.

Example workflow: Read this release diff. Draft a factual LinkedIn announcement and an X thread, attach the screenshot I provide and save them in LotsSocial.

**Start with the actual diff.** Ask Claude Code to identify user-visible changes. Keep implementation details out of the announcement unless they matter to your audience.

**Use the remote publishing tools.** Add the LotsSocial MCP server using Claude Code’s MCP command. No LotsSocial CLI needs to be installed.

**Pick the release time.** Review the text, then give Claude Code your accounts and publication time. LotsSocial manages the scheduled delivery.

### How do I connect Claude Code to LotsSocial?

Follow the Claude Code setup below to add https://api.lots.social/mcp. Complete sign-in using the authentication method shown. Ask your agent to list your connected accounts, then save your first post as a draft.

### Is this a LotsSocial command-line app?

No. The terminal commands below configure Claude Code’s MCP client. LotsSocial itself is accessed through the hosted MCP server or REST API.

### Which social platforms can Claude Code schedule posts to through LotsSocial?

Once a compatible connection has write access, LotsSocial provides publishing and scheduling for 12 networks: LinkedIn, Instagram, X, Google Business, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Threads, TikTok, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon. Connect your accounts first. Formats, media requirements and available analytics vary by platform.

### Can Claude Code save social posts as drafts before scheduling?

Yes, through a compatible connection with write tools. Ask for drafts explicitly and review the captions, media and accounts. Drafts remain unscheduled until you ask to schedule them; you choose when to schedule them.

### Will scheduled posts publish after I close Claude Code?

Once a post is successfully scheduled in LotsSocial, its publishing queue handles delivery at the chosen time even when your agent is closed. Creating new drafts or running a recurring brief still requires your agent. Check post status for platform rejections or failed deliveries.

### Do I need a subscription to use LotsSocial with Claude Code?

No LotsSocial subscription is required. Pick a plan for a fixed monthly price, or pay per connected account with credits, charged daily. Eligible new users receive free starter credits with no card required, valid for 90 days. Media storage is free and purchased credits never expire. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate. Current rates are on the LotsSocial pricing page.

### Can Claude Code manage multiple brands with LotsSocial?

Through a compatible connection, your agent can work with brands and their connected accounts inside a workspace. Separate businesses can have separate workspaces. Brands, workspaces, posts and team members are unlimited; connected accounts are covered by your plan or funded with credits.

### lotssocial shows as needing authentication

Run /mcp, select lotssocial and choose Authenticate, or run claude mcp login lotssocial in your terminal.

### The browser says Claude Code registered itself and is not verified

That is normal for Claude Code: it registers with each MCP server and receives the sign-in on your own computer. Allow it when the return address is localhost.

Steps:
1. **Add the server.** Run this in your terminal. It adds LotsSocial to the current project; nothing else to install.
