MCP Server

The QiQ Social MCP (Model Context Protocol) server lets AI assistants like Claude manage your social media automations, create and publish posts, and interact with your workspace — all through natural language.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol is an open standard that allows AI assistants to securely connect to external tools and data sources. With the QiQ Social MCP server, you can control your entire content pipeline from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client.

Installation

No API keys or configuration needed — the server connects to QiQ Social automatically.

Claude Desktop

Edit your Claude Desktop config file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "qiq-social": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@qiq/mcp"] } } }

Claude Code

claude mcp add qiq-social -- npx -y @qiq/mcp

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{ "servers": { "qiq-social": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@qiq/mcp"] } } }

Remote (HTTP)

If you prefer not to install anything locally, you can connect to the hosted MCP server at mcp.qiq.social.

Claude Desktop — edit your config file:

{ "mcpServers": { "qiq-social": { "type": "url", "url": "https://mcp.qiq.social/mcp" } } }

VS Code — add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{ "servers": { "qiq-social": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.qiq.social/mcp" } } }

How It Works

The MCP server supports two transport modes:

• Local (stdio): Runs on your machine via npx. Your AI assistant spawns and communicates with the process directly.
• Remote (HTTP): Hosted at mcp.qiq.social. Your AI client connects over HTTP using the Streamable HTTP transport.

Both modes connect to the same QiQ Social backend with built-in credentials — no API keys needed.

AI Assistant ←→ MCP Server (local or remote) ←→ QiQ Social API

1. Your AI assistant connects to the MCP server (spawns locally or connects via HTTP)
2. The server connects to QiQ Social using the built-in API credentials
3. Tools execute queries and operations on your behalf
4. Results are returned to the assistant as structured data

Automation Types

When creating automations, use these types:

Type	Description	Requires Topic
write_social	AI-generated social media posts	Yes
write_blog	AI-generated blog articles	Yes
rss_social	Repurpose RSS feed items as social posts	No
rss_blog	Repurpose RSS feed items as blog articles	No
rss_digest_blog	Digest multiple RSS items into one blog post	No

Post Content Structure
