How to use pepe.business with Claude, Cursor, and VS Code (MCP)

Using pepe.business with AI agents via MCP

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the standard way for AI agents to interact with external services. pepe.business exposes a hosted MCP server with 15 tools.

What you can do

With the MCP server, your AI agent can:

  • Publish or schedule posts to every destination you've connected
  • Read real analytics in natural language ("What were my top posts last week?")
  • Launch Auto-Pilot — read a website, write the post, publish it
  • Write, rewrite and translate copy, and suggest hashtags
  • Retry a post that failed, and see why it failed
  • Shorten and track links
  • It authenticates with the same pk_live_ API key the REST API uses — a key already in use works here too, and revoking it revokes the agent's access along with everything else that key could do.

    Setup for Claude Desktop

    Add this to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

    ``json { "mcpServers": { "pepe-business": { "url": "https://pepe.business/api/mcp", "transport": "http", "auth": { "type": "bearer", "token": "pk_live_xxx" } } } } `

    Restart Claude. Now you can say:

    > "Publish on Twitter and LinkedIn: 'We just shipped v2!' with the image https://example.com/v2.png"

    Claude will call create_post automatically.

    Setup for Cursor

  • Open Settings > Cursor > MCP Servers
  • Add a new server:
  • - URL:
    https://pepe.business/api/mcp - Auth: Bearer pk_live_xxx
  • Save and restart
  • Setup for VS Code (Copilot)

    Add to settings.json:

    `json { "github.copilot.chat.mcp.servers": { "pepe": { "url": "https://pepe.business/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer pk_live_xxx" } } } } `

    Available tools

    The MCP server exposes 15 tools:

  • list_destinations — the connected accounts a post can go to
  • get_account_status — plan, destinations used, current cost
  • create_post — publish now or schedule for later
  • list_posts / get_post — recent posts, or one in full with its analytics
  • retry_post — retry one that failed
  • generate_post_text / rewrite_text / translate_text — write or adapt copy
  • suggest_hashtags — with reach and competition estimates
  • analyze_sentiment — classify a message before replying to it
  • get_analytics — the last 30 days, totals and best posts
  • create_short_link / list_short_links — shorten and track a URL
  • run_autopilot` — read a website, generate the post, optionally schedule it
  • See the full tool list.

    Try it now

  • Sign up and get your API key
  • Configure your AI agent
  • Ask in natural language
  • That's it — your AI agent can run the board.
