Connect Claude Desktop to Social Media via MCP

Social media studio’s MCP server is a remote Streamable HTTP server. Claude Desktop can reach it either through the built-in Connectors UI (OAuth or API key) or by bridging through mcp-remote in claude_desktop_config.json.

Social media studio (powered by So-me Studio) connects Claude through https://api.so-me.studio/mcp/claude with OAuth sign-in. The Claude Connectors Directory listing and the Social media studio plugin use this URL. Custom connectors may still use https://api.so-me.studio/mcp with an X-API-Key (sk_live_... from Settings > API Access in So-me Studio).

Add the connector

In Claude go to Customize > Connectors. Open Social media studio from the directory, or select Add custom connector and enter the name Social media studio and the URL https://api.so-me.studio/mcp/claude.

Select Connect. Claude opens the Social media studio sign-in page. Sign in with your account, check the workspace, and allow access. No API key is needed.

Verify

Open a new conversation and ask Claude to list your connected accounts or draft a post.

The directory connector has the same 28 posting tools as the ChatGPT and Grok plugins: posting, drafts, scheduling, the media library and upload, media checks, thread chains, the first comment, and TikTok options. It does not cover analytics, the inbox, billing, account administration, or AI image and video generation. See Claude directory connector for details.

Option 1: Connectors UI (recommended)

Open Connectors

In Claude Desktop go to Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector.

Enter the server details

Field	Value
Name	`so-me-studio`
Remote MCP server URL	`https://api.so-me.studio/mcp` (full) or `https://api.so-me.studio/mcp/directory` (marketplace-safe)

Authenticate

Prefer OAuth when prompted (signs in with your Social media studio account). Alternatively, add an HTTP header X-API-Key with your key (sk_live_...), then save.

Verify

Open a new conversation. Social media studio tools now appear in the tools menu — ask Claude to list your posts or create a new one.

Option 2: mcp-remote bridge

If your build of Claude Desktop edits servers through the config file, bridge the remote HTTP server with mcp-remote. The classic claude_desktop_config.json only launches local (stdio) commands, so the URL and header are passed to the bridge.

Open the config file

Go to Settings > Developer > Edit Config in Claude Desktop, or open the file directly:

OS	Path
macOS	`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Windows	`%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

Add the MCP server

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "so-me-studio": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://api.so-me.studio/mcp",
        "--header",
        "X-API-Key:sk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Do not put a space after the colon in the --header value. mcp-remote splits the header on the first : and a leading space in the value will be sent literally.

Restart Claude Desktop

Save the file and fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect.

Verify

Claude will now have access to Social media studio tools in your conversations. Ask it to list your posts or create a new one.

Troubleshooting

401 / Missing X-API-Key header

The header name must be exactly X-API-Key and the value must be an active key beginning with sk_live_. With the mcp-remote bridge, double-check there is no stray space after the colon.

405 Method Not Allowed

The Social media studio server runs in stateless Streamable HTTP mode and only accepts POST requests. mcp-remote and the Connectors UI both speak Streamable HTTP, so no SSE configuration is required.
