A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hi Everyone!

I just released MCP Servers to the open-source and am pretty excited about this release.

Just a quick recap:

Postiz is a social media scheduling tool supporting 18 social media channels:

Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, X, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon, YouTube, Pinterest, Dribbble, Slack, Discord, Warpcast, Lemmy, Telegram and Nostr.
https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app/

MCPs are everywhere and for a good reason.
It's the next step in the evolution of apps.

MCP protocol lets your chat client (like ChatGPT, Claude) talk to your application. It's an alternative to a classic API.

Being able to use everything from a single chat without accessing any app.
It feels native for Postiz to schedule all your social posts from the chat!

I am all about productivity, and I use ChatGPT my whole day.

Being able to create posts and schedule them on social media is a big productivity changer.

ChatGPT doesn't support MCPs yet, but it will soon. For now, you can use Cursor or Claude Desktop.

The fun part is that you can connect multiple MCPs, for example:

  • Connect it to Cursor and ask it to schedule a post about your work today.
  • Connect it to Notion and ask to schedule all the team's latest work on social media.
  • Connect it to any SaaS with CopilotKit (for example) and schedule posts based on the app.

There are so many options, and I will use it now.

You can use this from the Public API feature inside the "settings" of Postiz.

As always, it's open-source.

You should probably explain what MCP means

MCP sounds like a standardized way for AI clients to connect to data sources, the Model Context Protocol.

It sounds like it may compete some with Google’s A2A protocol, which is for AI agent to agent communication.

Both share the same goal of making services easier for AI to consume.

I try to like your project really hard given it's open source, the only proper one in the social media manager category that's self-hostable at that… but my god, this whole generative AI stuff combined with social media and marketing sounds like the epiphany of sloppy shit.

They even have their own fake crypto-coin!

This is like a full set of bullshit bingo on one page 🤦‍♂️

It's great to see all the progress made so far. However, I'm surprised that Pixelfed is still not supported.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh shit, it supports Lemmy!

Upvoted. Awesome project

Looks great!

I'll try the Cursor workflow, seems interesting, to look at the codebase and write me a post and schedule straight from there!

I'll try making an MCP on Dotallio.com as well, then use that as a CRM, or for the proprietary data I have there to post about as well.

MCP sounds so versatile, like an API that my agent can call that routes to all the things I want, without any pre-configuration
