Best Claude Connectors for Social Media and Marketing in 2026: 14 Checked
Which Claude connectors can post to LinkedIn, Instagram or X, and which ones only design, report or email? 14 social media and marketing connectors, each checked against its own listing in Claude's directory or its vendor's docs.
- 01Claude connectors are how Claude reaches your other apps.
Anthropic's help center says they let Claude 'access your apps and services, retrieve your data, and take actions within connected services'.
- 02
Three connectors in Claude's own directory can put posts on social networks: Metricool (11 networks), Taplio (LinkedIn) and Typefully (X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon and Substack). All three are marked Anthropic verified.
- 03Buffer and Antwork connect too, with a URL and OAuth.
Postiz ships a Claude Code plugin that needs an API key.
- 04
We found no connector made by LinkedIn, Meta, Instagram, TikTok, X, Threads, YouTube or Pinterest in the directory on 13 October 2026. Posting there goes through a tool that has its own approved app with that network.
- 05
The rest of the marketing job is covered by directory connectors that do not post: Canva and Descript to create, Supermetrics, Windsor.ai and Semrush to measure, Zapier, HubSpot and Klaviyo to automate, sell and email.
- 06Ranking rule: connectors that can publish to a social network come first.
Within each group, Anthropic-verified directory listings come before connectors you add by URL, then alphabetical.

Claude can now post for you, but only through the right connector. Search Claude's directory for "social media" and you get design tools, analytics tools and a CRM mixed in with the three that can actually publish. This page sorts them by the job they do, so you can see which one puts a post on LinkedIn, Instagram or X, and which ones only feed the work around it.
One source per fact: the connector's own listing in Claude's directory, or the vendor's own docs, linked in every row. Everything was checked on 13 October 2026. Using ChatGPT instead?

Pick by job
- You want one tool that posts and reports. Metricool. Its directory listing covers 11 networks and its tools return analytics and the best time to post per network.
- You only post on LinkedIn. Taplio. It drafts, schedules and publishes on LinkedIn, reads post analytics and searches its library of viral posts for ideas.
- You write threads. Typefully. Drafts and a posting queue for X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon and Substack.
- You already run your queue in Buffer. Buffer's connector reaches the queue you have, on every plan including Free.
- You want drafts that sound like you. Antwork. Before drafting, your AI reads that account's recent posts and their engagement, and nothing goes out until you ask.
- You need the visuals, not the posting. Canva for designs, Descript for video.
- You report on paid and organic channels. Supermetrics or Windsor.ai, which pull from hundreds of ad, analytics and social sources.
Connector by connector
Connectors that publish
Metricool
Vendor docs ↗Listed as "Schedule posts, analyze, and manage social media with AI", made by Metricool, Anthropic verified and added in June 2026. Its tools create, read and update scheduled posts, list the analytics metrics available and query them, and return the best time to post per network. The listing names 11 networks: Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Bluesky, Threads, Twitch and Google Business Profile. Metricool's own help center says its MCP works on any plan, including Free, with Free limits still applying.
Taplio
Vendor docs ↗Made by Taplio, Anthropic verified since September 2026. The listing describes it as a way to "schedule content, pull inspiration from 5M+ viral posts, and get your analytics as plain answers". Its tools create, schedule, publish and unschedule drafts, attach media, and read post and account analytics. It runs on your own Taplio account connected to LinkedIn, and the listing says "nothing reaches LinkedIn until you grant Claude permission to schedule or publish".
Typefully
Vendor docs ↗Made by Typefully, Anthropic verified since September 2026, and described as a "social media scheduler for great writing on X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Substack, Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon". Its tools manage drafts, the posting queue and its schedule, media uploads, tags and comment threads on drafts, and it can resolve a LinkedIn company page from its URL.
A hosted MCP server at https://api.antwork.io/mcp, added as a custom connector with OAuth and no API key. It posts to LinkedIn (profiles and company pages), X, Instagram, Facebook Pages, Threads, TikTok, YouTube and Pinterest. Every post lands as a draft first; scheduling and publishing are separate steps you ask for. Before drafting, your AI reads that account's recent posts and their engagement, so drafts start from how you already write. The same URL works in ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code.
Buffer
Vendor docs ↗Buffer's guide gives https://mcp.buffer.com/mcp, connected with OAuth and "No API key needed", in Claude on the web, Claude Desktop and Claude Code. In Claude it tells you to open Customize, then Connectors, search for Buffer and click Connect. Its MCP page says access is "included on every plan, including Free".
Postiz
Vendor docs ↗Postiz is in Claude's marketplace as a plugin rather than a connector: a command-line tool for Claude Code that schedules posts across 28+ platforms, uploads media and reads analytics. The listing showed 3,412 installs when we checked. Setup needs a POSTIZ_API_KEY. Postiz is open source (AGPL-3.0), and its hosted plans start at $29 a month.
Connectors that create
Canva
Vendor docs ↗Made by Canva, Anthropic verified, added November 2025: "Search, create, autofill, and export Canva designs." Its tools search and read designs, generate new ones, import from a URL and export. Useful for making the image a post needs; it does not post it.
Descript
Vendor docs ↗Made by Descript, Anthropic verified, added May 2026: "Import, edit, or create video with prompts." It hands a prompt to a Descript project and tracks the job, so you can cut a clip for a Reel or a Short from Claude.
Connectors that measure
Supermetrics
Vendor docs ↗Made by Supermetrics, Anthropic verified, added February 2026. It queries data across 200+ platforms, including Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn and Pinterest ads, Google Analytics, Instagram and YouTube, and it can manage ad campaigns and build dashboards.
Windsor.ai
Vendor docs ↗Made by Windsor.ai, Anthropic verified, added January 2026. It queries metrics from 325+ sources, including Facebook, Instagram, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads and LinkedIn Ads, and blends them into one report.
Semrush
Vendor docs ↗Made by Semrush, Anthropic verified, added May 2026. It covers keyword research, competitor and backlink research, traffic and site audits, the search side of a content plan rather than social.
Connectors that automate, sell and email
Zapier
Vendor docs ↗Made by Zapier, Anthropic verified, added November 2025. The listing says it lets Claude take actions across "the 9,000 apps on Zapier". It can reach social apps through Zapier's own integrations, but the listing does not name them.
HubSpot
Vendor docs ↗Made by HubSpot, Anthropic verified, added November 2025. It searches and updates contacts, deals and campaigns, and its tools manage marketing emails, landing pages and blog posts. Social posting is not mentioned.
Klaviyo

How to add a connector to Claude

https://api.antwork.io/mcp. Anthropic limits Free users to one custom connector. - In Claude Code:
claude mcp add antwork --transport http https://api.antwork.io/mcp, then/mcpto sign in.
Walkthroughs: Claude to LinkedIn, Claude to Instagram, Claude to X.
Before you let Claude post for you
- Keep a review step. Choose a connector that creates drafts and publishes only when you ask. Taplio's listing and Antwork both work this way.
- Check what the grant covers. Some connectors reach your inbox, comments or ad accounts, not just posts.
- Read the plan, not the badge. An Anthropic-verified listing tells you the connector is in the directory. It does not tell you which plan of the vendor's own tool you need.
Post from your AI, in your own voice.
Connect Claude or ChatGPT once. Drafts start from your recent posts, and nothing goes out until you approve it.
