Trying to Automate Social Posting for an Event with Claude Code (What Actually Worked)
I was trying to connect all my social channels to drive registrations for the AI x Marketing Summit (May 28–29 in SF) using Claude Code. Thought I’d share how it went in case anyone else is going down this rabbit hole.
Here’s what I ran into:
- Luma – surprisingly the easiest to set up
- Twitter/X – ran into a bunch of credential issues
- LinkedIn – couldn’t get a direct connection working
- Reddit – had to create a Reddit app first
- Apollo – easy to connect, but not very useful after that
- Instagram – absolute pain via MCP, especially if you’re not active on Facebook
- TikTok – pretty straightforward
- YouTube – also easy through Composio - didn't even try going direct
- Substack – haven’t set this up yet
- Humanic – using this for email
Eventually landed on Bright Data + Composio. That combo worked well for Twitter and Reddit (super smooth), and somewhat for LinkedIn.
Big takeaway: a lot of MCP servers are still pretty limited and harder to set up than expected.
Curious if anyone else has found a cleaner stack for managing cross-platform posting?
