Frequently asked questions
Does this work in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile?
Custom connectors are added from Claude's settings on the web or desktop. Once added, the connector is available wherever you use Claude with that account.
Can Claude attach images or videos?
Yes, from your Postbase media library. Upload the files there, then ask Claude to attach them by name. Claude can't send files of its own.
Can Claude post without asking me first?
Claude asks before it calls a tool unless you've told it to always allow that tool. Everything it schedules also lands in your Postbase calendar, where you can edit or cancel it before it goes out.
What can Claude do in my Postbase account?
Four things: list your connected channels, create a draft or scheduled post (or thread), list what's queued, and cancel a scheduled post. It can't delete posts, disconnect accounts or change settings.
Which networks can Claude post to?
Posts and threads go to X, LinkedIn, Bluesky and Mastodon, and videos to YouTube, with images or video from your Postbase media library. TikTok posts are saved as drafts, because TikTok requires you to choose who sees each one in the Postbase composer.
How do I stop Claude posting for me?
Open AI & API → Connected apps in Postbase and click Revoke next to Claude. Access ends immediately, and anything already scheduled stays in your calendar for you to keep or cancel.
Do I need a paid Postbase plan?
Every plan includes the MCP server, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. You can also self-host the open-source version for free.
