Upload Post: MCP server, setup and security
Upload Post is an open-source MCP server that lets an AI agent publish and schedule social posts then analyze their performance across platforms. Its repository has 11 stars and its last commit is from October 22, 2026 and it is licensed under MIT.
What Upload Post does
According to its repository: “Publish, schedule and analyze posts on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Reddit and more via Upload-Post, including comments and DMs.”
An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. Upload Post is listed under Social media, a category of 39 servers in the directory, where it ranks #23 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: social-media-analysis, social-media-mcp, agents-social-media, mcp-instagram, mcp-social-media, mcp-tiktok.
Installing and connecting Upload Post
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- remote server (streamable-http): you connect to it by URL, with nothing to install locally
Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: TypeScript.
Security: what to check
An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.
None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to Upload Post. That does not replace reading the code.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on May 1, 2026, the Upload-Post/upload-post-mcp repository has 11 stars and 4 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 28% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 0.10.0 (September 3, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
