FAQ

What is the Content Drifter MCP server?

It is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI coding assistants call Content Drifter on your behalf — generate platform-native posts, schedule them, list upcoming content, and read your Brand Kit without leaving Cursor or Claude Desktop.

Which AI clients support it?

Any MCP-compatible client works: Cursor, Claude Desktop, Cline, VS Code with an MCP extension, and other stdio MCP hosts. You add one JSON config block and restart the client.

How do I authenticate?

Generate an API key at /dashboard/settings/api-keys, set CONTENTDRIFTER_API_KEY in your MCP client env, and restart. Keys are hashed server-side; the raw secret is shown once at creation.

Does publish_now post without confirmation?

No. publish_now requires Final Review to be completed in the dashboard first. The tool description tells your assistant to confirm with you before publishing.
