Use cases
You need analytics + schedule in one suite — not queue-first desk, not X threads, not LinkedIn desk
Buffer = multi-platform queue (owns social-queue-week). Typefully = X/threads composer. Taplio = LinkedIn content/brand. Later / Vista Social / SocialBee / Publer = PARKED Buffer siblings. Metricool = planner + analytics + reporting suite (distinct seat). Loud sibling blur — do not swap. No second queue rail.
The agent drafts insights and proposed slots. Schedule and publish are gated
Soft slots: {{brands}} {{week_theme}} {{networks}} {{report_goal}} {{do_not_publish}}. Agent parks planner drafts + analytics notes (or MCP when connected). You approve. Live X HARD HELD — human publishes / Metricool posts after yes. Never silent-schedule · never invent reach.
Free brand and post caps are real — LinkedIn and X stay paid
Free = $0 forever · 1 brand (rename only; cannot add/delete) · up to 20 posts published per calendar month (drafts/scheduled do not count until publish; counter resets on the 1st) · 30 days analytics history with watermark · 5 AI text credits/mo · 5 fixed competitors · no card (help.metricool.com Free vs paid 2026-09-23). Free does not include LinkedIn or X/Twitter connections — paid only (X via add-on on paid). Never invent Free caps beyond official help.
MCP is real on every plan including Free — write tools still need yes
Hosted MCP https://ai.metricool.com/mcp · works on any Metricool plan including Free; plan limits still apply (help FAQs 2026-09-23). OAuth or METRICOOL_USER_TOKEN + METRICOOL_USER_ID. REST API is Advanced/Custom only — do not blur MCP with API. Create/update schedule tools can publish or schedule — Default = drafts / propose slots only until human yes. Never silent-publish.
Draft the insights. Gate the publish.
Free brand and post caps are real. MCP is real. Nothing posts without your yes.
