pendpost is a free tool that runs on your own computer and helps you plan social media posts. You connect it to your AI assistant, and the AI can write drafts, check them, and line them up to publish. It is handy for anyone who posts on several platforms and wants help without losing control of what actually gets published.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. This one connects your AI to pendpost, your local social media planner, so the AI can create drafts, schedule them, and read back what is queued. You still decide what gets approved, and nothing goes out until you say so.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI to write or schedule a post. The AI uses this helper to talk to pendpost on your computer. pendpost saves the post as a draft, checks it against your writing rules, and puts it in a queue. When you approve a draft, pendpost publishes it to the platform you connected, at the time you set. You can also ask the AI to show you what is waiting, what went out, or how a post did.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Schedule a LinkedIn post for Tuesday at 9am”, on your own computer the pendpost MCP server works with pendpost, and you get back post scheduled and confirmed.

What it gives back to you

It can also show you activity history and basic numbers from platforms that support insights. Changes it makes, like creating or approving a post, show up as a short confirmation so you know what happened.
