Buffer + Claude

Manage Buffer (social media scheduling: channels, posts, idea queue, analytics) from any AI agent via GraphQL. 8 tools, Bearer token.

Voraussetzungen

Die vollständige Setup-Anleitung ist in den Connector eingebaut (im Store sichtbar, wenn du den Connector auswählst). Benötigte Umgebungsvariablen für diesen Connector:

BUFFER_ACCESS_TOKEN

Schritt 1 — Zugangsdaten holen

This connector wraps the Buffer Publish GraphQL API (graphql.buffer.com).

Setup:

  1. Sign in at https://publish.buffer.com → top-right avatar → Settings → API access → Generate personal access token.
  2. Set BUFFER_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${BUFFER_ACCESS_TOKEN}.

GraphQL-only: Buffer's modern API is GraphQL. The auto-injected buffer_graphql_query / buffer_graphql_mutation / buffer_graphql_schema builtins cover anything not in the typed wrappers below.

Channel = connected social account (Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, Bluesky, Threads). Each has an ID; posts must specify channelId(s).

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Schritt 2 — Adapter installieren

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d
