# What the MCP connector does

> Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI client to your Depost AI data.

The MCP connector lets an AI client you already use — Claude, ChatGPT, others — work with
your Depost AI account directly. It reads your brand context, analytics and content, and can
draft, save, schedule and publish posts.

Everything it reads is your own data. Everything it writes stays editable in Depost AI.

## What it is not

The connector doesn't generate anything itself. **Your AI client writes; Depost AI stores.**
When you ask Claude for a post, Claude drafts it using your brand voice and strategy, then
saves it into Depost AI as a normal draft.

That distinction matters for what you should expect: output quality is your client's, and
the grounding — your voice, your numbers, your history — is Depost AI's.

## What it can reach

Access is granted per key, in nine permissions:

| Permission                              | Lets the client                                                      | On by default |
| --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| **Context**                             | Read safe account, workspace, brand, voice and strategy context      | ✅             |
| **Content knowledge**                   | Search and fetch scoped posts, ideas, bookmarks, documents, examples | ✅             |
| **Analytics**                           | Read scoped performance metrics and top-performing posts             | ✅             |
| **Drafts**                              | Create and update saved ideas and LinkedIn draft posts               | ✅             |
| **Publishing** *· high risk*            | Schedule or publish existing scoped draft posts                      | —             |
| **Draft media**                         | Attach or remove media on scoped draft posts                         | —             |
| **Knowledge writes**                    | Save scoped brand library knowledge sources                          | —             |
| **Workspace analytics** *· admins only* | Read analytics across all brands in the workspace                    | —             |
| **Workspace calendar**                  | Read the calendar across all brands in the workspace                 | —             |

The first four are granted by default. The rest are opt-in — **a new key cannot publish to
LinkedIn unless you tick Publishing**, which the product itself marks as high risk.

<Warning>
  Anyone holding a key's connection URL gets the permissions you granted it. The key is in
  the URL, so treat it like a password — don't paste it into a shared doc or a chat you
  don't control.
</Warning>

## Analytics match the dashboard

Numbers returned through the connector use the same definitions as the Depost AI dashboard:
engagement is clicks, reactions, comments, shares and saves; engagement rate is engagement
divided by impressions. A figure your AI client quotes will match what you see in
[Analytics](/analytics/overview).
