Claude Desktop Integration

PostQuickAI for Claude Desktop

One MCP entry unlocks 40+ social media tools inside your daily Claude conversation. Ask in plain English — Claude schedules, generates, and analyzes for you.

Requires Claude Desktop (free download from claude.ai) and the PostQuickAI API add-on.

1. Open claude_desktop_config.json

Fastest path from inside Claude Desktop:

Settings → Developer → Edit Config

Or navigate manually:

# macOS
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

# Windows
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add the PostQuickAI MCP server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postquickai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@postquickai/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "POSTQUICKAI_API_KEY": "pq_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Already have other MCP servers? Add "postquickai": { ... } alongside them — mcpServers is an object that holds any number of entries.

3. Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop

Cmd+Q on macOS or right-click the system-tray icon → Quit on Windows. Closing the window isn't enough — MCP servers only load on full process restart.

4. Verify + start using

Click the 🔌 plug icon in the chat input — you should see postquickai listed with its tools. Then try:

"List my PostQuickAI content groups"
"Schedule a post about our product launch for tomorrow at 10am to Twitter and LinkedIn"
"What did I post last week? Summarize by engagement."
"Generate a carousel about our onboarding flow and schedule it for Friday noon"

API + Agent access

MCP server, Skills, and REST API are all included with the API add-on on any paid plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json. Create the file if it doesn't exist.

Settings → Developer → "Edit Config" opens the file in your default editor. Faster than hunting for it in Finder/Explorer.

Yes. Fully quit Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q on macOS, right-click tray icon → Quit on Windows) and reopen. MCP servers only load at startup.

In Claude Desktop look for the 🔌 icon in the chat input — click it to see installed MCP servers. postquickai should be listed. Or just ask Claude "list my PostQuickAI content groups" and see if the tool fires.

Claude Skills (SKILL.md packages) are a Claude Code feature today. Claude Desktop uses MCP tools directly — the same workflows work via natural language prompts; you just don't get the named `/skill` invocation syntax.

Yes. The `mcpServers` object takes any number of entries — add PostQuickAI alongside your other servers (filesystem, GitHub, etc.). Restart Claude Desktop after each change.

Troubleshooting

"Failed to connect to postquickai"

Almost always a config format issue. Make sure command is just npx and args is an array — never put the whole command in one string. Also fully quit and restart your agent after editing config.

"API add-on required" / 403 errors

MCP and REST API access both require the API add-on on your plan. Enable it at postquick.ai/pricing.

"Missing POSTQUICKAI_API_KEY"

Generate a key at postquick.ai/dashboard/api. Keys start with pq_live_. Put it in the env block of your MCP config.
