MCP support
The hosted MCP server at https://socialbu.com/mcp uses Streamable HTTP and OAuth. It exposes operations for authorized SocialBu accounts, posts, queues, analytics, automations, media, curated content, and listening data.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

SocialBu for AI agents
The official SocialBu plugin and remote MCP integration. It lets supported AI clients work with the SocialBu accounts, posts, queues, analytics, automations, curated content, media, and social listening data that you authorize.
The hosted MCP server is the source of truth. This repository contains portable agent instructions and client manifests, with no proxy server, duplicated business logic, API keys, or local runtime.
Connect
Use this remote MCP server with Streamable HTTP and OAuth:
https://socialbu.com/mcp
Your client opens SocialBu in a browser. Sign in and approve the connection there. Do not paste a SocialBu password or API token into a prompt.
Install
Agent skill
Install the reusable SocialBu skill in clients supported by the Agent Skills installer:
npx skills add socialbu/socialbu-agent
Choose the skill for the task:
- Social Media Scheduler by SocialBu: schedule and publish posts, manage connected accounts and queues, and review results through SocialBu.
- Social Media Content Calendar by SocialBu: turn a brief into a calendar with platform-specific drafts. Planning works without an account; saving or scheduling posts uses SocialBu.
Connect the MCP URL as well when using SocialBu tools if the client does not install bundled MCP servers from mcp.json. A SocialBu account is required for those tools; continued use after the 7-day free trial requires a paid plan.
OpenClaw
Install the Social Media Manager bundle, which includes both skills and the SocialBu OAuth MCP connection:
openclaw plugins install clawhub:@socialbu/socialbu-agent
Start a new session, then open Settings → MCP and select Sign in for SocialBu. Authorize your account in the browser.

gemini extensions install https://github.com/socialbu/socialbu-agent
Restart Gemini CLI after installation, then authorize SocialBu when prompted.

What agents can do
- Inspect connected accounts and teams
- Create drafts, schedule posts, update posts, and publish on request
- Work with custom publishing queues and media uploads
- Read account and post analytics
- Inspect and enable or disable automations
- Browse curated content
- Read, archive, restore, and delete saved Listen items
Available operations depend on the user's plan, permissions, teams, connected networks, and account types.
Existing SocialBu CLI
The separate SocialBu CLI remains available for terminal scripts and environments that do not support MCP. This plugin does not bundle or duplicate it.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
