The Carousify MCP server is the developer-facing way to drive Carousify from any AI client that speaks the Model Context Protocol — Claude, VS Code, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible clients. Once connected, the AI client can pull post drafts, schedule content, check publish status, and run other Carousify workflows by name — no copy-paste between tools, no Zapier hops, no custom integrations.
MCP is best when you spend a lot of time in an AI client and want it to act on Carousify directly. If you just want event notifications, the Slack, Zapier, and Webhook integrations are simpler.

​
What you can do

A few of the workflows teams use the Carousify MCP server for: The exact list of tools your AI client sees depends on the version of the MCP server — the client will discover them automatically once connected.

​
Where to find it

In the left sidebar, open Manage Workspace › MCP. Carousify Setup MCP page with Enable MCP button If MCP hasn’t been enabled in this workspace yet, you’ll see a single Enable MCP card. Click it once — Carousify provisions a system MCP key and unlocks the connection panel below.
MCP is workspace-scoped. Enable it inside each workspace where you want AI clients to act on your behalf — keys, tools, and access don’t carry across.

​
How it works

After clicking Enable MCP, Carousify provisions a system key and shows a unique MCP URL for this workspace, along with a tabbed setup guide for the most common AI clients. Carousify MCP page after enabling, showing the MCP URL and a Claude setup tab You copy the MCP URL once, paste it into your AI client’s MCP settings, and from then on the client can call Carousify tools directly. Step-by-step instructions per client live on the setup page.
Treat the MCP URL like a password. Anyone with it can act on your workspace through Carousify. Carousify only shows the full URL once — copy it the moment it’s generated, and rotate the key from the MCP Keys table if it ever leaks.

​
Supported clients

The connection panel ships with built-in setup guides for Claude, VS Code, ChatGPT, and Antigravity. Other MCP-compatible clients (Codex, Windsurf, custom agents) work too — the Carousify server uses an SSE transport, so any client that accepts an SSE-based MCP endpoint can connect by pasting the same URL.

​
Managing keys

The MCP Keys table at the bottom of the page shows every key issued for this workspace, with status, created date, and a delete action.
  • Toggle the status switch to disable a key without deleting it. Disabled keys reject new MCP requests immediately — useful when you want to pause access without losing the audit trail.
  • Delete the row to permanently revoke. Any client still pointed at that URL will start failing.
  • Issue a new key by typing a label into API Name (e.g. claude-laptop, vscode-work) and clicking Create API Key. Each key gets its own URL, so you can hand out one per client or per teammate and revoke them individually.
Carousify only reveals the full key the moment it’s created. After that the table only shows the last few characters. If you lose a key, delete the row and create a new one — there’s no “show again” option.
