Connect Claude to your Postika account, create a project API key and schedule your first post from the terminal.
Before you start
You need a Postika account with an active subscription or trial and at least one connected channel. Without an active subscription, the API and MCP answer 402.Connect Claude in one minute
No keys, no config files. Claude discovers Postika's OAuth server and asks you to allow access.

- 2Paste the MCP server URL:
https://postika.app/api/mcp - 3Click Connect. Postika opens; sign in if needed and click Allow (Permitir).
- 4Back in Claude, ask: “What channels do I have in Postika?”
Other clients (ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code…) are covered in MCP server.
Create an API key
- 1Open your project in Postika and go to Connect AI (Conectar IA) in the sidebar.
- 2Under Project keys (Claves de proyecto), click New key (Nueva clave) and give it a name. API keys are managed only here: Settings (Ajustes) just links to this page.
- 3Copy the key. It starts with
