## Description

TryPost is an open-source, agentic social media scheduling tool that connects AI clients such as ChatGPT, Claude, or any MCP (Model Context Protocol) client to plan, write, and publish posts to multiple networks from a single calendar. It supports both autonomous agents that draft and schedule content and manual workflows where a team reviews each post in an integrated composer before it goes live, also exposed over a REST API. It is for marketers, developers, and small teams who want AI-assisted posting without giving up editorial control.

## Common questions

### What setup steps are required before first launch?

Copy .env.example to a file named .env, fill in the database and app settings, and then run php artisan migrate. Without these steps, TryPost may fail on first launch and pages or API calls may error.

### How is self-hosted TryPost supported?

The self-hosted version is supported by the community in their free time, on a best-effort basis. Post your question and be patient.

### Are there seat limits or feature gates in self-hosted TryPost?

No, the project says self-hosting avoids seat tax and feature gates. Posts, drafts, and metrics stay on your infrastructure under a license that is yours to keep.

### Can external clients manage TryPost over an API?

Yes, the REST API includes endpoints for creating posts, uploading media, managing social accounts, and approving or rejecting posts. It also exposes endpoints for analytics, webhooks, and workspace API keys.
