⚡ Quick answer

TryPost is a Laravel-based social media scheduler that you can host yourself. It suits teams that want agents such as Claude to draft and queue posts, as well as people who write posts by hand.

What it is

It has a composer that adapts one post per network, a calendar with per-channel queues, approvals for agencies and workspaces per client. An MCP server with 80+ tools and a REST API let agents create posts, upload media and read analytics.

Who it's for

It suits agencies and small teams who want to own their scheduler and drive it from AI agents. It does not suit anyone unwilling to maintain a PHP application and network developer apps.

Key features

80+ tools let AI assistants create, queue and publish posts.

Our honest verdict

What's great

  • The self-hosted build has every feature of TryPost Cloud, with no paid tiers.
  • Publishes through each network's official API, not reminders to finish in the mobile app.
  • Supports Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, Mastodon and more.
  • Interface is translated into 16 languages.

Where it falls short

  • It is a PHP 8.2 and Laravel 13 application you must host, update and back up.
  • Each network needs its own developer app or approval before posting works.
  • A young project with a small community compared with older schedulers.
Cost
