MCP Tools Reference

Every tool the SociaHive MCP server exposes — parameters, required API-key scopes, feature flags, and confirmation requirements.

The SociaHive MCP server advertises 70 tools (29 read, 37 write, 4 destructive). Every one runs through the same chokepoint the in-app copilot uses, so auth, tier limits, rate limits, credits, and audit logging apply identically whether the caller is Claude Desktop, the CLI, or the dashboard.

Connect a client first — see the setup guide.

tools/list reports 72 rather than 70: it also carries __cache_anchor (an internal prompt-cache sentinel — ignore it) and get_more_tools (injected by the analytics layer so an assistant can report a capability it wishes existed; it returns a plain-text acknowledgement, not JSON).

How access is decided

A tool call has to clear four gates, in order:

API key + agent:execute — enforced at /api/mcp before the server is reached.
Per-tool scopes — the "Required scopes" column below. A key with * clears all of them.
Feature flag — tools in the "Notes" column with a flag: entry are inert unless that flag is on for your account. Most are admin-only today.
Confirmation — tools marked confirm are irreversible. The first call returns a pending_confirmation envelope with a token; call again passing __confirmToken. Keyed surfaces (CLI, SDK) can instead pass confirm: true where the tool accepts it.

Tools marked not on connect keys need a scope the one-click Connect to AI key doesn't carry. Mint a key with the scopes you need in Settings → API Keys.

Resources

Read-only context the client can fetch by URI, no tool call needed. Eleven are listed by resources/list; the two templated URIs are readable but not enumerated.

URI	Contents
`sociahive://platforms`	Supported platforms and their capabilities
`sociahive://trigger-types`	Flow trigger types per platform
`sociahive://node-types`	Flow node types
`sociahive://post-statuses`	Scheduled-post status machine
`sociahive://flows`	Your flows
`sociahive://posts/upcoming`	Next 14 days of scheduled posts
`sociahive://accounts`	Your connected accounts
`sociahive://audit/recent`	Recent agent actions taken on your account
`sociahive://health`	Account health signals
`sociahive://changelog`	Platform changelog
`sociahive://docs/quick-start`	Quick-start guide
`sociahive://flows/{id}`	One flow, full detail (template — not listed)
`sociahive://posts/{id}`	One scheduled post (template — not listed)

Clients that support notifications/resources/updated get pushed refreshes when a post publishes or a flow changes.

Prompts

One-click workflows the client surfaces as slash commands.

Prompt	Arguments	What it does
`weekly-report`	`timezone`	Reads upcoming posts + flow stats, writes a Monday recap
`content-audit`	`lookback_days`	Reviews scheduled posts for tone, clashes, platform-fit
`flow-cleanup`	—	Finds inactive/underperforming flows, proposes archives
`onboard-agency`	`client_name`, `platforms`	Scaffolds a new agency client's flows and draft posts

Known gaps

A live audit on 2026-08-20 found six defects here. All are now fixed; this section records what remains.

Scope catalog: no gaps. Every scope enforced at a chokepoint is mintable on a granular key, guarded by api-key-scope-catalog.test.ts.
14 tools are unreachable from a one-click connect key — they need scopes outside the connect grant (deliberately: the connect key is fixed and non-destructive). Mint a custom key with the scopes you need.
5 tools need an explicit accountId on a multi-account key. MCP keys are workspace-level with no account picker, so a default account is bound only when the owner has exactly one. On a key with two or more, pass accountId (from list_accounts) to search_flows, list_published_media, get_latest_published_media, get_published_media, search_published_media. Omitting it returns auth_error / no_account_selected; an id you don't own returns the same error rather than leaking that it exists.
Deleting a scheduled post needs posts:write, not admin. DELETE /api/v1/posts/{id} performs the same soft-delete as the dashboard. The agent tools (delete_scheduled_post, bulk_delete_scheduled_posts) additionally require the admin-only AI_COPILOT_DESTRUCTIVE_TOOLS flag plus agent:destructive.
