If you already spend your day in Claude Code, you can schedule and manage social posts without switching to a browser. Connect OneUp's MCP server once, and Claude Code can list your accounts, schedule posts, and check or fix what's queued, all from plain-language requests.

## Connect OneUp to Claude Code

1. **Get an API key.** Generate one on OneUp's API Access page.
2. **Add OneUp to Claude Code:**

```bash bash
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user oneup "https://feed.oneupapp.io/mcp/oneup"

```

The `--scope user` flag makes OneUp available across all your projects.

3. **Authenticate.** Open Claude Code, run `/mcp`, select **oneup**, and complete the browser flow. You enter your API key on a OneUp page and approve access. OneUp stores the key encrypted, and Claude Code receives an OAuth token instead of the key itself.
4. **Check the connection** from your terminal:

```bash bash
claude mcp list

```

Then ask: _"Use OneUp to list my connected social accounts."_ If it returns your accounts, you're set.

## Prompts to try

- _"List all my connected Instagram accounts."_
- _"Schedule a post to my 'Marketing' category for tomorrow at 2 PM with the text 'Hello from Claude Code.'"_
- _"Show me my scheduled posts for next week."_
- _"Show me any failed posts, and reschedule them for tomorrow at 9 AM."_
- _"Edit my scheduled post about the webinar to fix the date."_

OneUp's tools cover creating text, image, and video posts, listing scheduled, published, draft, and failed posts, editing or deleting scheduled posts, and rescheduling failed ones.

## Workflows that suit developers

Because Claude Code can read files in your project, it can turn what you've already written into posts:

- **Announce a release.** _"Read CHANGELOG.md, write a short announcement for the latest version for LinkedIn and X, and show me the draft before scheduling anything."_
- **Promote a docs or blog update.** Point it at a markdown file and ask for a post that links to it.
- **Batch a launch week.** Ask for a handful of posts at staggered times, then review them as a group.

## Habits that keep it safe

- **Ask for a preview first.** Have Claude Code show the text, accounts, and times, and only schedule after you approve.
- **Name the category.** Categories scope which accounts a post can reach, which avoids posting to the wrong place.
- **Verify afterward.** Ask it to list your scheduled posts and confirm the new one is there.
- **Prefer the OAuth flow.** Leave the API key out of the server URL. If a client forces a key in the URL, keep that URL private, because it can end up in config files and shell history.
- **Know where to revoke.** You can review and disconnect connections from OneUp's MCP Connections page.

## Not using Claude Code?

The same server works with Codex, Cursor, and other MCP clients that support remote HTTP servers and OAuth. See OneUp's [coding agent setup guide](https://docs.oneupapp.io/docs/oneup-mcp/coding-agents-setup).
