Install in two commands. The Ayrshare plugin for [Claude Code](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins-reference) is live. It's now a native plugin, which means an AI agent can take a social post from first draft to published across [13+ networks](https://www.ayrshare.com/docs/help-center/product/what_social_networks_are_supported), with no one writing custom integration code for each platform's API. Here's what shipped, and why one API beats maintaining a separate integration for every network. ## The Publishing Step Is Where AI Agents Often Break Ask an agent to draft a launch announcement and it does a good job. Ask it to actually post that announcement across your accounts and you are one malformed payload, one oversized image, one platform-specific quirk away from finding out in public. Writing was never the hard part. Publishing without breaking something is. That's the gap the Ayrshare plugin closes. It gives an agent inside Claude Code the ability to publish across 13+ networks, without you writing custom integration code for every platform's rules. ## What We Shipped The plugin bundles three things. There's a command you run directly, `/ayrshare:setup`, to connect your API key. There's an agent you drive in plain language, so you describe what you want instead of memorizing command syntax. And the server includes 27 [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) tools, which is what lets the agent validate, publish, pull history, and read engagement as one loop. ## The Agent Loop: Learn, Act, Observe, and Stay Safe The plugin is built around four things an agent does: - **Learn** a brand's voice from its [post history](https://www.ayrshare.com/docs/apis/history/overview), and see what performed. - **Act** by publishing and scheduling across 13+ networks in one call. - **Observe** by reading back live [analytics](https://www.ayrshare.com/docs/apis/analytics/overview) to see what worked. - **Stay safe** by [validating every post](https://www.ayrshare.com/docs/apis/validate/validate-post) against each platform's rules and confirming before anything goes live. ![Ayrshare plugin for Claude Code](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/ftd4n5q6/production/b12f1c2654051ac6d8e643d1890aa54c2a81862c-1521x677.png) *Ayrshare social media API running as a native plugin inside Claude Code* ## One Production-Ready API Instead of Maintaining 13 Integrations You could wire an agent straight into one platform's API. It works until it doesn't, and the places it doesn't are the expensive ones. Publishing and analytics are table stakes for any social API; two capabilities set Ayrshare apart. The first is a [History API](https://www.ayrshare.com/docs/apis/history/overview). Your agent pulls a brand's full posting history to learn its voice from the first draft and see what performed, instead of guessing. The second is validation. Before a post goes out, Ayrshare checks it against the target platform's rules and tells your agent what is wrong while it can still fix it, which turns "post and pray" into draft, validate, fix, then publish. For platforms that require you to bring your own keys, like [X under the 2026 mandate](https://www.ayrshare.com/docs/dashboard/connect-social-accounts/x-twitter-byo-keys), that is handled too. The integration is [multi-tenant](https://www.ayrshare.com/docs/multiple-users/business-plan-overview) from the ground up: one API key, with an optional `Profile-Key` to scope any call to a specific managed account, so the system grows with your customer list. And each platform's evolving rules, formats, and failure modes are built into the API, so your agent inherits them instead of rediscovering each limit the hard way. We handle 30M+ API calls a day, so platform changes are our problem, not your agent's. The plugin is the publishing layer your agent can be trusted with. ## Install in Two Commands ```bash claude plugin install github:ayrshare/ayrshare-social-media-api-claude-plugin ``` Then connect your account: ```bash /ayrshare:setup ``` From there, a prompt is all it takes. Tell the agent to post something and validate it first, and it runs the dry run, reads the result, and publishes only once the content checks out. The same flow covers history and engagement, with no per-platform branching on your side. ## Not Using Claude Code? The Same Server Works in n8n The plugin wraps the same hosted Ayrshare MCP Server, so the agent loop isn't limited to Claude Code. In [n8n](https://n8n.io), point the built-in MCP Client Tool node at the server and your AI Agent gets the same 27 tools, validation included. See the [n8n integration guide](https://www.ayrshare.com/docs/additional/mcp-n8n) for the setup. ![n8n vs Ayrshare](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/ftd4n5q6/production/931562d643306e3e3665b684cf8e5044fbdf05cd-900x497.png) *Connect n8n’s AI Agent to the Ayrshare MCP Server * ## What's Next for the MCP Server Validation is the first piece of the domain expertise we're building into the MCP Server, and there's a lot more coming. ## Install the Ayrshare Plugin for Claude Code ```bash claude plugin install github:ayrshare/ayrshare-social-media-api-claude-plugin /ayrshare:setup ``` For the full list of MCP tools and parameters, see the [MCP action server documentation](https://www.ayrshare.com/docs/additional/mcp-action-server).

The plugin adds the `/ayrshare:setup` command to connect your API key, two agents named `social-manager` and `profile-manager`, and skills that trigger on intent so the agent can handle posting, history, analytics, and client profiles in plain language. ### Does the agent publish automatically, or do I approve first? The agent does not publish automatically. It drafts the post, validates it, and asks you to approve first, so nothing goes live without your confirmation. ### What happens when a post fails validation? When a post fails validation, Ayrshare tells the agent what's wrong against the platform's rules while the content is still a draft, so the agent can fix it and re-check before anything publishes. ### Can the plugin schedule posts for later? Yes, the plugin can schedule posts for later as well as publish them immediately, across the 13+ supported networks in a single call. ### Can I use the Ayrshare plugin outside Claude Code? Yes, you can use the Ayrshare plugin outside Claude Code. It runs on the same hosted MCP Server, so you can connect the same 27 tools in [n8n](https://www.ayrshare.com/docs/additional/mcp-n8n) through its MCP Client Tool node, or in any other client that speaks MCP.
