Claude integration for Buffer

Connect Buffer to Claude, Claude CoWork, or Claude Code via Model Context Protocol (MCP) and manage your social media content through natural language. Draft posts, review your queue, and schedule content — all from within a Claude conversation.

Getting started

You'll need your Buffer API key and either Claude Desktop or Claude Code. There are two ways to connect Buffer with Claude depending on what you want to do.

Option 1: Claude Desktop

Go to publish.buffer.com/settings/api and copy an existing API key or click + Generate API Key to create a new one.

  1. Install Node.js 18 or higher if you haven't already — nodejs.org
  2. Open Claude Desktop and go to Settings...
  3. Click the Developer tab
  4. Click Edit config to open the configuration file
  5. Add the following to claude_desktop_config.json and replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key:
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "buffer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.buffer.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  6. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop

If you have multiple Node.js versions installed, make sure Claude Desktop is using v18 or higher.

Option 2: Claude Code

Go to publish.buffer.com/settings/api and copy an existing API key or click + Generate API Key to create a new one.

  1. Open your terminal
  2. Run the following command, replacing YOUR_API_KEY with your key:
    claude mcp add buffer --transport http https://mcp.buffer.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
  3. The Buffer MCP server is now configured and ready to use
