TL;DR
- Add Fondoo to Claude as a custom MCP connector (or to Claude Code with one command), then connect your social accounts through a secure link.
- Claude writes the post;
schedule_social_postssends your copy to the networks you choose, at the time you choose, with tracked links. - X posts with a link cost $0.50 each unless you connect your own X developer key, and Claude has to confirm the charge explicitly.
- Reddit posts are never automatic. Fondoo checks your draft against the subreddit's rules and you submit each one yourself with a prefilled one-click link.
Claude is good at writing a launch post. Copying it into a dozen apps, trimming it for each character limit and scheduling it is the boring part. Fondoo hands that part to Claude, with guardrails so an over-eager agent can't spam your accounts.
The 21 networks, plus Reddit drafts
Hosted Fondoo publishes through one connection to:
TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Google Business, Discord, Telegram, Slack, Mastodon, Nostr, Lemmy, Dev.to, Hashnode, WordPress, Whop and Listmonk.
Reddit is drafts only for now: Upload-Post, the provider behind hosted posting, can't publish to Reddit at the moment. Claude drafts the post, Fondoo checks it against the subreddit's rules, and you post it with one click.
A few work differently by design:
- Discord, Telegram and Slack post announcements to your own communities.
- WordPress, Dev.to and Hashnode are cross-posts that point a canonical link back to your site, so search engines credit the original.
- Listmonk is newsletter sending for self-hosters.
- Reddit and Lemmy always need a human, covered below.
If you'd rather use your own scheduler, you can switch the social provider to Postiz, or use your own X key, and Claude's tools stay the same.
Step 1: Connect Fondoo to Claude
Claude (web or desktop)
Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the Fondoo MCP URL (https://api.getfondoo.com/mcp), and sign in. You pick the workspace and approve the scopes. No API key to copy.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user fondoo https://api.getfondoo.com/mcpRun /mcp inside Claude Code and authenticate in the browser. Self-hosting? The self-host guide shows the local URL and agent key setup.
Step 2: Connect your social accounts
Ask Claude: "Connect my LinkedIn, X and Bluesky to Fondoo." It calls connect_social, which returns a secure connection page. You open it and authorize each network. OAuth consent is always yours; Claude never sees your social passwords or tokens.
Afterwards list_social_accounts shows what's connected and what each network supports: formats, character limits, whether links are allowed, and daily caps.
Step 3: Write and schedule
Claude writes the copy (you bring the AI, so there's no post quota). Then it schedules the supplied variants:
schedule_social_posts({
siteId,
idea: "Pro plan launch",
scheduledAt: "2026-11-18T15:00:00Z",
variants: [
{ accountId: linkedinId, text: "We just launched Pro: ... https://myapp.com/pricing" },
{ accountId: blueskyId, text: "Pro is live. ... https://myapp.com/pricing" },
{ accountId: threadsId, text: "Shipping day. ... https://myapp.com/pricing" }
]
})A few things happen automatically:
- Tracked links. Every link becomes a tracked link with UTM tags, so you can later see "this post → visits → signups → revenue." Links aren't shortened or disguised.
- Caps and slots. Each network has a daily cap and posting windows.
get_publishing_capacityshows what's left today. - No copy-paste spam. Variants for the same network across different accounts have to be meaningfully different. Adding a tracking ID doesn't count.
- Real media only. Images and videos must be real screenshots or footage you upload. There's no AI image generation path for posts.
get_social_calendar shows everything scheduled over a date range, including drafts.
The X link rule
X charges for API posts that contain links, so Fondoo makes that cost visible instead of hiding it:
- Link-free X posts go out as part of your plan.
- An X post with a link costs $0.50, or nothing from us if you connect your own X developer key (X bills you directly).
- Claude has to pass
confirm_paid_x_link: true. Without it, the call stops with: "This post has a link: you'll be charged $0.50. Supply confirm_paid_x_link: true or connect your own X key." - Paid X links need pay-as-you-go turned on with a payment method, and there's an owner-set monthly cap.
schedule_social_posts({ siteId, confirm_paid_x_link: true,
variants: [{ accountId: xId, text: "Pro is live: https://myapp.com/pricing" }] })If you'd rather avoid the charge, leave the link out of the X variant and keep it on the other networks.
Reddit: human-approved, rules-checked
Reddit communities have their own rules about self-promotion, flair and AI-written content, and breaking them gets accounts banned. So Fondoo never posts to Reddit on an agent's own say-so.
Claude uses draft_community_post with the subreddit, your draft and the community's current rules:
draft_community_post({ siteId, network: "reddit", subreddit: "SideProject",
rulesText: "<paste the sidebar rules>", title: "I built a ...", text: "...", aiAssisted: true })Fondoo flags promotion windows or bans, required flair, AI-content bans, near-duplicate copy across subreddits and numbers you haven't verified. It returns a prefilled Reddit submit link. You read it, edit it and click submit. These are conservative text checks, not a guarantee a moderator will approve.
Lemmy works the same way: every post needs your approval, per post.
Approvals and automatic publishing
By default, scheduled posts follow per-network approval rules you control. Only a human owner can turn on automatic publishing or change caps (update_distribution_rules is owner-only). When an automated system batch goes over 20 posts in a day, it goes to the approval queue no matter what.
When something needs you, list_approvals shows it and you approve or reject from the link.
A simple weekly routine
- Monday: ask Claude to draft five posts from your latest changelog or blog post.
- Review them in the calendar, edit what you don't like.
- Approve, and let
schedule_social_postsspread them across the week. - Friday: ask Claude "which posts drove signups this week?" It reads attribution from your tracked links.
Your agent can do the same with a release: one set of release notes becomes social variants, a blog post and a newsletter section. Pair this with newsletters that land in the inbox.
FAQ
Do I need a separate scheduler like Buffer?
No. Social posting to all 21 networks, plus Reddit drafts, is included in each site. One social set is included; extra sets are $3/month. See /pricing.
Can Claude post to Reddit automatically?
No. Every Reddit post is checked against the community's rules and submitted by you with one click, one post at a time.
Why does an X link post cost $0.50?
X charges for API posts with links. We pass that cost through, ask Claude to confirm it each time, and cap it monthly. Connect your own X key to avoid our charge.
Does this work with ChatGPT or Cursor instead of Claude?
Yes. Any MCP client can call the same operations, and there's a REST API for everything else. See starting a business from ChatGPT.
Does Fondoo write the posts?
Your agent writes them. Fondoo doesn't sell AI credits; it handles scheduling, caps, approvals and measurement. Why we work this way.
