Overview
Besides connecting an editor agent with a Personal Access Token, you can add Postnomic to claude.ai (web, desktop, and mobile) as a custom connector. Once added, the Postnomic tools are available in any chat on your Claude account — ask Claude to draft a post, add a translation, schedule publishing, or summarize last month's traffic, and it acts on your behalf.
The connector signs you in with your normal Postnomic login (via Auth0) using OAuth. Every action runs as you, with your existing blog roles and plan limits — exactly like the Personal Access Token flow, just without copying a token by hand.
Add the connector
Note: the OAuth connector must be enabled and configured on the Postnomic platform before it is available; if the steps below don't work yet, it hasn't been turned on for your instance yet — use a Personal Access Token in the meantime.
- In claude.ai, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
- Enter the server URL:
https://mcp.postnomic.com/mcp. - Claude discovers the login automatically and sends you to the Postnomic sign-in page.
- Sign in and approve. Claude returns to your chat with the Postnomic tools connected.
There is no token to copy or store — claude.ai holds the login securely and refreshes it for you.
What the agent can do
The same tools as the editor integration: list blogs, list/read/create/update/archive posts, publish / unpublish / schedule, add or remove translations, and read blog and per-post analytics. New posts are attributed to you and start as drafts.
Prefer PAT or OAuth?
- Claude Code / editor agents — use a Personal Access Token (see MCP Server (AI Agent Access)). These clients send the token as a header.
- claude.ai (web/desktop/mobile) — use this OAuth connector. claude.ai does not accept a pasted token, so OAuth is the way to add Postnomic there.
Both paths reach the same server and enforce the same permissions.
Security
The connector uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. Postnomic never sees your password — login happens on the Auth0-hosted page. Access is scoped to your account; revoke it any time from claude.ai's connector settings.
