​MCP Agent Examples

Social Neuron's MCP server lets AI agents manage your entire content workflow — from ideation to publishing to analytics. Here's how to connect it to popular AI tools.

​Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "social-neuron": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@socialneuron/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. On first run, it will prompt you to authenticate with your Social Neuron API key.

​What You Can Do in Claude Desktop

Once connected, ask Claude things like:

• "Plan my content for next week across Instagram and LinkedIn"
• "Show me my top-performing posts from the last 30 days"
• "Generate a TikTok script about sustainable fashion"
• "Schedule this post for tomorrow at 9am on YouTube"
• "Check my credit balance"

Claude will use Social Neuron's 64 tools automatically based on your request.

​Claude Code

Add to your project's .claude/settings.json or global config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "social-neuron": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@socialneuron/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Or install as a skill:

claude mcp add social-neuron npx @socialneuron/mcp-server

​Cursor

In Cursor, go to Settings > MCP Servers > Add Server:

• Name: Social Neuron
• Command: npx
• Args: -y @socialneuron/mcp-server

Or add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "social-neuron": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@socialneuron/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

​Windsurf

In Windsurf, go to Settings > MCP and add:

{
  "social-neuron": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@socialneuron/mcp-server"]
  }
}

​VS Code (Copilot MCP)

For VS Code with GitHub Copilot MCP support, add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "social-neuron": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@socialneuron/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

​Authentication

All agents use the same authentication flow. The first time you connect, the MCP server will prompt you to authenticate.

​Three Methods

Your API key is stored securely in your OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Linux secret-tool, or an encrypted local file on Windows).

​Example Workflows

​Weekly Content Planning

You: "Plan my content for next week. I'm a fitness coach targeting 
women 25-35 on Instagram and TikTok. Focus on home workouts and 
meal prep."

Social Neuron will:
1. Analyze your brand profile for voice consistency
2. Check your best posting times
3. Generate a 7-day plan with platform-specific content
4. Save the plan for your review

​Performance Analysis

You: "What content performed best last month? Give me actionable 
insights and suggest what to create next."

Social Neuron will:
1. Pull analytics across all connected platforms
2. Identify top-performing posts and patterns
3. Generate performance insights with recommendations
4. Suggest content themes based on what worked

​Cross-Platform Repurposing

You: "Take my latest YouTube video and create content for Instagram, 
TikTok, LinkedIn, and X."

Social Neuron will:
1. Extract key points from the video
2. Generate platform-adapted versions (reel script, carousel, 
   LinkedIn article, tweet thread)
3. Apply your brand voice to each version
4. Queue them for your review before scheduling
