Boring Social Publisher

Publish social media posts to multiple platforms at once using Boring. Use when the user says 'post to social media', 'publish everywhere', 'cross-post', 'sh...

Publish content to multiple social media platforms with a single message. Powered by Boring — a unified social media publishing API.

Security & Data Handling

• MCP link is a credential: Your MCP Server URL (https://boring.aiagent-me.com/mcp/t/xxxxx...) contains an embedded authentication token. Treat it like a password — do not share it publicly. You can regenerate it anytime in Settings.
• Media uploads: When you provide local files or URLs, they are uploaded to Boring's Google Cloud Storage (boring.aiagent-me.com) to make them accessible for publishing to social platforms. This is required because social media APIs need publicly accessible media URLs.
• Data flow: Your post content and media are sent from Boring's server to the social media platform APIs (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, YouTube, TikTok, X) on your behalf via your connected OAuth tokens.
• No local credentials: This skill does not require any local API keys or environment variables. All authentication is embedded in the MCP link.
• Privacy: Uploaded media is stored in Google Cloud Storage for publishing purposes. Boring does not use your content for any other purpose.

Prerequisites

1. Sign up at boring.aiagent-me.com with Google
2. Connect your social accounts — link Facebook Pages, Instagram Business, Threads, YouTube, TikTok, or X accounts via OAuth
3. Get your MCP link: Go to Settings → copy your MCP Server URL (contains your auth token — treat it like a password)
4. Add to Claude: Paste the MCP link into Claude settings as a Connector — no install, no API key needed

Workflow

When the user wants to publish content across platforms, follow these steps:

Step 1: Get Available Accounts

Call boring_list_accounts to see which platforms the user has connected. Show them a summary:

• Account name and platform
• Connection status

Step 2: Confirm Content and Platforms

Ask the user:

• What content to post (text, images, videos)
• Which platforms to target (or "all")
• Whether to publish now or schedule for later

Step 3: Prepare Media (if needed)

If the user provides local files or URLs:

• Local files: Use boring_upload_file with file_path to upload and get a public URL
• External URLs: Use boring_upload_from_url to re-host the media on Boring's cloud storage
• Google Drive links: Pass directly — Boring handles Google Drive URLs automatically

Step 4: Adapt Content Per Platform

Automatically adjust content for each platform's requirements:

Platform	Text Limit	Media Required	Notes
Facebook	No strict limit	No	Supports text, photo, album (2-10), video
Instagram	2,200 chars	Yes	Photo, carousel (2-10), Reels (video 9:16)
Threads	500 chars	No	Text, photo, carousel (2-20), video
YouTube	Title: 100, Desc: 5,000	Yes (video)	Text format: Title\n\nDescription
TikTok	2,200 chars	Yes (video or photos)	Video or photo carousel (up to 35)
X	280 chars	No	Text, up to 4 images or 1 video

Important adaptations:

• Truncate text to fit platform limits
• Skip Instagram if no media is available (media is mandatory)
• For YouTube: format text as Video Title\n\nDescription text here
• For Threads: split long content into a thread if over 500 chars using boring_publish_thread

Step 5: Publish

For each selected platform, call boring_publish_post with:

• account_id: from the account list
• platform: the platform name
• text: adapted content
• media_urls: array of media URLs (if any)
• scheduled_at: ISO 8601 datetime if scheduling (e.g., 2025-12-25T10:00:00Z)

Step 6: Report Results

After publishing, summarize:

• Which platforms succeeded with post IDs
• Which platforms failed and why
• If scheduled, show the scheduled time and post IDs

Scheduling

To schedule posts for later:

• Add scheduled_at parameter with ISO 8601 format: 2025-12-25T10:00:00Z
• Use boring_list_scheduled_posts to view queued posts
• Use boring_cancel_scheduled_post to cancel before publish time

Error Handling

Error	Solution
InvalidApiKey	MCP link may be invalid — regenerate it at boring.aiagent-me.com Settings
TokenExpired	Ask user to reconnect the account at boring.aiagent-me.com
MediaRequired	Instagram/TikTok require media — skip or ask user for an image
TextTooLong	Truncate or split content for the platform
RateLimitExceeded	Wait and retry (check retry_after field)
