Choose MCP or REST for the caller
Use MCP when the agent should discover tools dynamically. Use REST when your orchestration code already knows the exact publishing action to call.
AI agent publishing
Social media API for AI agents
Use PostSider as the publishing layer behind an AI agent. Let the workflow use REST for deterministic calls or MCP for agent-native tool discovery while humans keep visibility in the same calendar.

How it works
Give agents a publishing layer without rebuilding social integrations.
The agent should own reasoning and workflow decisions. The publishing layer should own connected channels, scheduling state and provider-specific delivery.
Give the workflow a connected channel
Agents work with the same connected social accounts as the PostSider application, so you avoid maintaining provider integrations inside the agent itself.
Draft, schedule or publish
The workflow can prepare a draft for review, schedule content for a future time or publish immediately depending on your guardrails.
Inspect results and failures
Keep publishing state visible to humans and automation so failed or disabled integrations can be handled instead of silently ignored.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can an AI agent publish social media posts through an API?
Yes. An agent can call a social publishing API directly or work through an MCP server that exposes publishing actions as tools.
Should an AI agent use MCP or REST?
Use MCP when tool discovery is part of the agent workflow. Use REST when your orchestration layer already knows which endpoint and payload to use.
Can humans review AI-generated posts first?
Yes. A draft-first workflow lets an agent prepare content while a human reviews it in the PostSider calendar before scheduling or publishing.
Does the agent need direct access to each social network API?
No. PostSider acts as the publishing layer across connected channels, so the agent does not need a separate provider integration for every network.
