Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/social/posts`
Method	`POST`
Operation	`post_social_posts`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Stores a post for the org and answers 201 with the stored row.

A post created as scheduled for a time that has already passed is published IMMEDIATELY, and the row returned carries that outcome — this is the one behaviour a reader would otherwise miss. A future-scheduled post is left for the scheduler, and a draft is left alone. Publishing never fails the creation: the post is stored either way, and a publish that could not run leaves the row for the scheduler to retry.

Request

5 fields, body application/json (required).

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`channel`	body	string	—	Channel is the network to publish to: x, facebook, instagram, linkedin, tiktok, youtube or threads.
`content`	body	string	—	Content is the post's text.
`media`	body	string[]	—	Media is the post's attached media as URLs, at most 10, each bounded at 1024 characters.
`scheduleAt`	body	integer (int64)	—	ScheduleAt is when to publish, as a unix timestamp in SECONDS.
`status`	body	string	—	Status is the post's lifecycle state: draft, scheduled, published or failed.

Response

Status	Body	Meaning
`201`	social.socialPost	created
`default`	problem-details	refused

201 body — 11 fields.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`accountId`	body	string	—	AccountID / ExternalID / Error are server-managed publish results, set only by the publish path (never by a client update): the account a post was published through, the provider's returned external post id (for reconciliation), and the last failure reason.
`channel`	body	string	—	Channel is the network this post targets: x, facebook, instagram, linkedin, tiktok, youtube or threads.
`content`	body	string	—	Content is the post's text, bounded at 8192 characters.
`createdAt`	body	integer (int64)	—	CreatedAt is when the post was created, as a unix timestamp in seconds.
`error`	body	string	—	Error is why the last publish attempt failed, verbatim and bounded.
`externalId`	body	string	—	ExternalID is the id the network returned for the published post, which is what reconciles this row against the post on the network.
`id`	body	string	—	ID is the post's identifier, minted on create and the id every later call addresses it by.
`media`	body	string[]	—	Media is the post's attached media as a list of URLs (images today; the composer's URL field now, an S3 picker later, populate it).
`scheduleAt`	body	integer (int64)	—	ScheduleAt is when the post is due, as a unix timestamp in SECONDS.
`status`	body	string	—	Status is the post's lifecycle state: draft, scheduled, published or failed.
`updatedAt`	body	integer (int64)	—	UpdatedAt is when the post row last changed, as a unix timestamp in seconds.

Failure carries the platform error shape — see Errors.

MCP reaches social through the social tool, which names its 13 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:

curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "list_social_accounts"
         }
       }
     }'
