ContentStudio MCP Server

ContentStudio now provides its own MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, making it possible to connect ContentStudio directly into AI assistants and automation frameworks. This allows you to schedule and manage your content seamlessly without switching platforms.


Understanding MCP Server

The MCP Server is a backend service that allows different apps to connect with ContentStudio using an API key. With it, clients like Claude, Copilot, and LangChain can fetch data, create content, and schedule posts — all from one place.

Where You Can Use It

The ContentStudio MCP Server works with a variety of AI assistants and automation frameworks, making it flexible for different workflows.

1 Claude Desktop
You can easily connect ContentStudio’s MCP server with Claude Desktop. This allows you to bring scheduling and publishing tools directly into your Claude workflow. Simply download the MCPB file, click to install it, and then open Claude Desktop → Extensions to add/select the MCPB file and enable the integration.
2 Microsoft Copilot / 365 Agent Toolkit
Extend Microsoft Copilot with ContentStudio’s MCP server to schedule, generate, and manage posts directly inside your 365 workflow.
  • Bring AI-powered publishing tools into Outlook, Teams, and other 365 apps.
  • Deploy actions and automations without switching platforms.
3 Other MCP Clients & Frameworks
ContentStudio’s MCP server can also be added to other MCP-compatible frameworks to build custom automations and advanced AI workflows.

Adding ContentStudio MCP

You can connect ContentStudio MCP in just a few steps. Choose the option that works best for your setup.

1 Option 1: Install via MCPB File
The easiest way to set up ContentStudio’s MCP server is by using the prebuilt MCPB file. Simply download the file and double-click to install it in your MCP-compatible client (e.g., Claude Desktop).
2 Option 2: Manual Configuration
If you prefer more control, add ContentStudio’s MCP server manually by editing your client’s configuration. Copy and paste the following block into your config, replacing <your-api-key> with your ContentStudio API key:
{
  "contentstudio": {
    "command": "bash",
    "args": ["-lc", "npx -y contentstudio-mcp"],
    "env": {
      "CONTENTSTUDIO_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>"
    }
  }
}
  

Note: An API key is needed for authentication and must be added to your MCP client’s configuration.

And that’s all you need to start using ContentStudio MCP.
