  "account": "The article explores which AI assistants can schedule posts using the MCP (Multi-Channel Publishing) protocol as of October 2026. Three main considerations determine scheduling capabilities: remote server accessibility, authentication method, and write tool availability.\n\nChatGPT from OpenAI only allows scheduling on Business, Enterprise, or Edu workspaces, with Pro users getting read and fetch permissions in developer mode. To use ChatGPT, you must create a custom connector in the Settings → Connectors section, paste the server URL, sign in, and select permissions. However, a free account is limited to one custom connector and cannot execute write actions.\n\nClaude from Anthropic can schedule posts for all Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans. To set up Claude, add the server URL in Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the server URL, sign in, and choose permissions. Note that a free Claude account can hold the connector, but the actual MCP access is a paid Smart Post Studio feature.\n\nCursor supports scheduling via several transports, including stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP, all requiring OAuth. In mcp.json, you configure the remote server and provide a token using the web app → AI access. ChatGPT integration through VS Code with GitHub Copilot is expected to work, but has not been documented.",

ChatGPT is the big surprise: OpenAI's own help center says full MCP, the kind that can create or change things, is limited to Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces, and on Pro a custom MCP connection gets read and fetch permissions only.
