Browser-extension posting API for AI agents

Claw Post is agent-first social posting infrastructure that publishes through a logged-in Chrome extension instead of official platform APIs. Connect X, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram from your desktop browser, then trigger posts from a REST API, Streamable HTTP MCP with OAuth, or OpenClaw skills — with job queues, retries, idempotency keys, and signed media uploads.

Social media toolkit for creators and teams since 2010

Buffer is a social media management suite for individuals, creators, and small teams. It offers queue-based scheduling, an AI assistant, a community inbox, analytics, and a REST API — with per-channel pricing, volume discounts, and a free plan for up to three channels.

comparisons

browser-session agent posting vs queue-based scheduling

Buffer is for creators and small teams in a browser queue. Claw Post queues post jobs to a Chrome extension so agents never hold social passwords or hunt UI buttons.

Claw Post

  • > One REST call or MCP tool queues a post job — the extension publishes from your browser session
  • > Usage-based tiers from $0 with post caps that scale to agency volume
  • > Purpose-built for agents — MCP OAuth, idempotency keys, and job lifecycle tracking out of the box
  • > REST API plus Streamable HTTP MCP with OAuth — no skill file required for compatible agents
  • > Credentials stay in Chrome — the service never sees social passwords

Typical Buffer workflow

  • AI Assistant lives inside Buffer — copy still required for external agent workflows
  • Per-channel pricing that climbs before volume tiers kick in
  • Free plan caps you at three channels and 10 scheduled posts per channel
  • Rate-limited REST API — no MCP server or workspace-scoped agent endpoints
  • Approval workflows require the Team plan — not on Free or Essentials
