First Time Setup (2 Steps)
CRITICAL: When this skill triggers, FIRST check if MCP connection works. If not:
Quick Setup
Step 1: Install mcporter:
# macOS with Homebrew:
brew install mcporter
# Or with npm (works everywhere):
npm install -g mcporterStep 2: Add Postavel and authenticate:
# Add Postavel to mcporter
mcporter config add postavel https://postavel.com/mcp/postavel
# Authenticate (browser will open)
mcporter auth postavelStep 3: Log in to Postavel in your browser and authorize
Step 4: Come back here and say "done"
Alternative: Install Script
curl -fsSL https://postavel.com/install-mcp | bashTroubleshooting
"mcporter: command not found"
# Find it:
which mcporter || find ~ /usr/local -name mcporter 2>/dev/null | head -1
# Use full path:
/path/to/mcporter config add postavel https://postavel.com/mcp/postavel
/path/to/mcporter auth postavel"OAuth timeout"
- The browser auth worked but mcporter didn't detect it
- Try:
mcporter auth postavelagain - Or check if it worked:
mcporter list— if you see "postavel", you're connected
Quick Start
Once Setup is Complete
The MCP connection URL for Postavel is:
https://postavel.com/mcp/postavelAuthentication Flow:
- Install mcporter (one time)
- Run:
mcporter auth https://postavel.com/mcp/postavel - Log in to Postavel in browser
- AI assistant can now connect
Verify Connection
Once setup is complete, test with:
"Show me my Postavel workspaces"Find where mcporter is and run it:
MCPORter=$(which mcporter || find /usr/local /opt ~ -name mcporter 2>/dev/null | head -1) "$MCPORter" --config ~/.config/mcporter/postavel.json
## Quick Start
### Once Setup is Complete
The MCP connection URL for Postavel is:https://postavel.com/mcp/postavel
**Authentication Flow:**
1. mcporter installed and configured (via setup above)
2. OAuth token generated and bound to user's Postavel account
3. AI can only access workspaces/clients/brands the user has permission for
4. All actions are logged in user's activity history
### Verify Connection
Once setup is complete, test with:"Show me my Postavel workspaces"
## Core Capabilities
### 1. List Resources
**Workspaces:**"Show me my Postavel workspaces" "List all workspaces I have access to"
**Clients:**"List clients in workspace [workspace-name]" "What clients does my agency have?"
**Brands:**"Show brands for client [client-name]" "What brands can I manage?"
**Connected Platforms:**"Which social accounts are connected for brand [brand-name]?" "Show me available platforms"
### 2. Create Posts
**Basic Post Creation:**"Create a Facebook post for [brand] saying: [content]" "Draft an Instagram post about [topic]"
**Multi-Platform Posts:**"Create a post for Facebook and LinkedIn about [topic]" "Post to all platforms: [content]"
**With Media:**"Create an Instagram post with this image: [URL] and caption: [text]" "Add this video to a Facebook post: [URL]"
**Available Platforms:**
- `facebook` - Facebook pages
- `instagram` - Instagram business accounts
- `linkedin` - LinkedIn organizations (company pages)
### 3. Schedule Posts
**Schedule for Later:**"Schedule a post for tomorrow at 2pm about [topic]" "Create a post for next Monday at 9am" "Schedule this for [date] at [time] CET"
**With Auto-Approval (Admin/Owner only):**"Schedule a post for [time] and auto-approve it" "Create and publish a post now"
### 4. Approval Workflow
**View Pending Posts:**"Show me pending posts for [brand]" "What posts need approval?"
**Approve Posts:**"Approve post ID [number]" "Approve all pending posts for [brand]"
## Role-Based Permissions
The AI assistant respects Postavel's permission system:
| Role | Can Create | Can Approve | Can Auto-Approve |
|------|-----------|-------------|------------------|
| **Owner** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Admin** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Member** | ✅ (assigned brands only) | ❌ | ❌ |
**Important:** If user is a Member, their posts will be created as "pending" and require Admin/Owner approval before publishing.
## Language Support
Postavel MCP works with prompts in multiple languages:
**English:**"Create a Facebook and LinkedIn post about our summer sale" "Schedule this for tomorrow at 2pm and auto-approve"
**Serbian/Croatian:**"Kreiraj post za Facebook i LinkedIn o letnjoj rasprodaji" "Zakaži za sutra u 14h i odmah odobri"
**German:**"Erstelle einen Facebook- und LinkedIn-Post über unseren Sommerschlussverkauf" "Plane dies für morgen um 14 Uhr und genehmige sofort"
## Common Workflows
### Workflow 1: Create and Schedule a Campaign Post
1. User: "Create a post for Facebook and Instagram about our Black Friday sale, 30% off everything"
2. AI: Creates the post (status: draft)
3. User: "Schedule it for November 29th at 9am and approve it"
4. AI: Schedules the post and approves it (if user has permissions)
### Workflow 2: Multi-Brand Management
1. User: "Show me all brands in workspace 'My Agency'"
2. AI: Lists brands
3. User: "Create a draft post for brand 'Coffee Shop' about new menu items"
4. AI: Creates draft post
5. User: "Now approve that post"
6. AI: Approves the post
### Workflow 3: Content Calendar Review
1. User: "What posts are scheduled for this week?"
2. AI: Lists scheduled posts
3. User: "Approve all pending posts for brand 'Tech Startup'"
4. AI: Approves all pending posts for that brand
## Troubleshooting
### "I can't see certain clients or brands"
- User may be a **Member** with limited access
- They only see clients where they have assigned brands
- Suggest: "Ask your workspace admin to assign you to the needed brands"
### "Auto-approve didn't work"
- Only **Admins** and **Owners** can auto-approve
- If user is a Member, post is created but remains pending
- Suggest: "Your post was created but needs admin approval to publish"
### "Wrong timezone on scheduled posts"
- Postavel uses the workspace's timezone settings
- User can specify timezone explicitly: "Schedule for 2pm CET" or "14:00 Belgrade time"
### "Post not published even though scheduled"
- Check if post is **approved** — only approved posts are published
- Check if scheduled time has passed
- User can ask: "What's the status of post ID [number]?"
