Claude Code

Schedule social media posts with Claude Code.

Add the Simplified plugin and Claude Code can read your changelog, make the graphic and schedule the announcement, right where you already work.

  • Turn a changelog or README into posts without leaving the terminal
  • The plugin brings the connector and the skills together
  • Drafts first, and you approve each post before it goes out
Get Started
Your setup prompt

Read https://docs.simplified.com/setup.md and set up Simplified in this client. Reuse existing connections and skills, complete the setup steps you can perform, and guide me through sign-in when needed. Verify access without creating content or spending credits.

  1. Copy the prompt (the Add to Claude Code button does it too).
  2. Open a new session in Claude Code and paste it.
  3. Send it. Claude Code sets up Simplified and walks you through sign-in.
Or run the commands yourself
Connect

Add Simplified to Claude Code in two commands.

Install the Simplified plugin and sign in with your Simplified account. The plugin brings the connector and the skills together, so you get everything Simplified can do, from images and video to scheduling and analytics.

1

Install the plugin.

Inside Claude Code, add the Simplified marketplace and install the plugin. These are slash commands, not shell commands.

2

Sign in.

Run /mcp, pick the Simplified connection and finish in your browser. There is no password or key to paste into the conversation.

3

Check it, then ask.

Start a new session and ask Claude Code to identify your workspace and list your teamspaces. Then ask for your first post.

Can't use plugins? Add the server on its own with claude mcp add --scope user --transport http simplified https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp, then sign in through /mcp. Keep one route, not both. Read the full setup guide

One plugin, every channel your team posts on.

Claude Code reaches the social accounts already linked to your Simplified workspace, so there is nothing to wire up per platform.

What Claude Code can do with Simplified

Claude Code reads your repo. Simplified turns what it finds into posts people will actually see.

Announce what you shipped

Point Claude Code at a changelog, release notes or a merged pull request and ask for the announcement. It writes the copy, Simplified makes the image and schedules it.

Each post fits its audience

One release becomes a LinkedIn post for customers, a short thread for developers and a plain summary for communities, each written for who reads it.

Release graphics in your brand

Banners and short clips come from your Brand Kit, not a stock template, so launch posts look like the rest of your feed.

README to a thread

Hand it the README or a docs page and get a post series that explains the product, with images where they help.

Plan launch week

Ask for a calendar around the release date: a teaser, launch day and a follow up. Move or drop posts in plain English.

Check what landed

After the release, ask how the posts did and what to change for the next one.

Nothing goes out unseen

Follow Claude Code's permission prompts when it runs a tool. Want to review first? Ask for drafts and approve them yourself.

What does Simplified add to Claude Code?

Claude Code is built to work on code. With the Simplified plugin it can also look after the announcement: it reads what changed, writes the posts, and Simplified makes the images and schedules them. You get the release and the launch plan from the same session.

You sign in once through /mcp. There is no key to paste and nothing to host.

  1. Claude Code reads and writes

    Reads the changelog or README, then drafts the posts and any blog copy.

  2. Simplified designs and posts

    Brand Kit images and video, a calendar, scheduling to 13 platforms and analytics.

  3. You review

    Approve each tool call, or ask for drafts and publish when you are happy.

What is the Simplified plugin for Claude Code?

A Claude Code plugin that brings two things together: the Simplified connector, which gives Claude Code its tools, and the Simplified skills, which teach it good workflows for campaigns and content. You add it with two slash commands.

The connector is a hosted MCP server, so nothing runs on your machine and no key is stored. If plugins are not an option for you, the standalone claude mcp add route gives you the same tools without the skills.

Claude Code, Claude or Codex?

There are several places to work with an assistant. Simplified fits into each of them.

Claude Code (this page)

The terminal and editor agent. Best when the posts come from your repo, like a changelog or a README.

Claude

The chat assistant. Best for planning content and writing without code. It has its own page.

The plugin or the standalone server

The plugin adds the skills as well as the connector. The standalone server is the fallback when you cannot use plugins.

Codex

OpenAI's coding agent connects with two commands and has its own page if that is the tool you use.

When Claude Code is not using Simplified

Claude Code does not recognize the plugin command

Check that your Claude Code version supports plugins and update it if not. If plugins are not an option for you, add Simplified as a standalone server with the claude mcp add command instead.

The Simplified tools do not show up

Start a new session so the tools load, then run /mcp and make sure Simplified is signed in and enabled. A saved config entry or a finished skills install does not prove the tools are loaded.

I ended up with two Simplified connections

Keep one route. Review the scopes of both, keep the one you want and remove the other. Do not run a standalone connection next to a working plugin.

Claude Code cannot see my channels

Connect your social accounts in Simplified first. An empty list does not mean the connection failed: it usually means no accounts are linked to that workspace yet. Also check that you picked the right teamspace.

Questions before you connect

And some things you'd ask us.

How do I add Simplified to Claude Code?

Inside Claude Code, run /plugin marketplace add celeryhq/simplified-ai and then /plugin install simplified-ai@simplified-ai. Run /mcp, pick the Simplified connection and sign in. Then start a new session and ask Claude Code to identify your workspace and list your teamspaces to check it worked.

Read the full setup guide

Can Claude Code write the posts from my changelog?

Yes. Point it at a changelog, release notes or the README and ask. It writes the copy for each channel, Simplified makes the graphic and schedules it. It can only post to accounts you have already linked in Simplified.

Which platforms can it post to?

The 13 platforms connected in your Simplified workspace: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, X, Google Business Profile, Mastodon, Reddit and Telegram.

Should I use the plugin or the standalone server?

Use the plugin if you can. It brings the connector and the skills together and updates through Claude Code's plugin manager. The standalone claude mcp add route is for when plugins are not an option or you want a project-level entry. Keep one route, not both.

Do I need an API key?

No. You sign in to your Simplified account through /mcp and approve access, so there is no password or key to paste into the conversation. Where your setup needs an API key instead, the MCP authentication page covers it.

Will Claude Code publish without asking me first?

Follow its permission prompts when it runs a tool. If you would rather review everything yourself, ask for drafts and approve them when you are ready.

Can I use images from my repo?

Not by file path. The hosted Simplified server cannot read files on your computer, so a local path will not upload. Media has to reach Simplified as bytes or a link, or be generated by Simplified from a prompt.

Does it use my brand colors, fonts and logo?

It uses the Brand Kit saved in your Simplified workspace, so banners and clips for a release match the rest of your feed.

Claude Code does not show the Simplified tools. What should I check?

Start a new session, run /mcp and confirm Simplified is signed in and enabled. Then ask Claude Code to list your workspace and teamspaces. If the list of accounts is empty, connect your social accounts in Simplified first. If the plugin command is not recognized, update Claude Code or use the standalone route.

Is Claude Code the same as Claude?

No. Claude is the chat assistant and Claude Code works in your terminal and editor. Simplified works in both because it is the same connector. The Claude page covers the chat assistant, and the developer setup page covers Codex, Cursor and more.
