About Planable MCP Server
Connect your Planable workspaces directly to your AI agent to radically streamline your social media collaboration loops. You can review scheduled posts, approve mockups, respond to team comments, and oversee the content pipeline directly from your primary interface.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Planable data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Workspace & Pages — View active workspaces, team members, and all connected social accounts isolated in their respective boundaries.
- Content Pipeline — Retrieve post drafts, schedule future publications, and query statuses (draft, pending_approval, scheduled, published).
- Approval Workflow — Radically speed up content sign-off. Instruct your AI to transition posts from pending directly to approved, or formally reject them with custom revision notes.
- Collaboration — Add, fetch, and monitor chronological threaded comments on any isolated post.
