How do I find my Buffer Access Token?

Log in to your Buffer account, navigate to **Settings** > **Personal Access Tokens**, and generate a new token for your integration.

Can I post to multiple social profiles at once?

Yes! The `schedule_social_post` tool accepts a JSON array of profile IDs, allowing you to broadcast the same update across all your connected platforms.

How do I check my scheduled queue?

Use the `list_pending_posts` tool with a specific profile ID to retrieve all updates currently waiting to be published.
