Tools
Every tool the eksis MCP server offers, and what each one may change.
What an assistant can ask eksis to do. Read tools never change anything. Write tools need the write scope, or an API key.
Every tool call counts as one request against the workspace's daily quota.
Tools marked as acting outside eksis change something on a social network for the workspace: a public post or reply, or a private direct message.
Workspace
| Tool | Scope | Read only | Acts outside eksis | Cannot be undone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
get_workspace | read | yes | no | no |
list_channels | read | yes | no | no |
get_platform_capabilities | read | yes | no | no |
list_pinterest_boards | read | yes | no | no |
get_tiktok_creator_info | read | yes | no | no |
get_workspace
Describe the workspace
Describe the workspace this connection reaches: name, time zone, plan, the role you act with, the daily request quota, which features the plan includes (analytics, direct messages, webhooks), and how many channels are connected. Call this first.
Scope read. Only reads, never changes anything.
list_channels
List channels
List the social accounts connected to the workspace. Each channel carries its platform, connection health, and the rules of its platform: the content types it can publish with caption and media limits, whether text-only posts are allowed or media is required, and which comment and DM actions are available. Use the channel id from here as a target when creating a post.
Scope read. Only reads, never changes anything.
get_platform_capabilities
Platform capabilities
What each social network can do through eksis, whether or not a channel is connected: publishable content types with caption and media limits, whether a platform needs media (YouTube and TikTok publish video only, Instagram needs an image or video), which platforms expose comments, DMs, private replies, metrics, and first comments, and the reason when something is unavailable. Read this before composing for a platform you have not used yet. Pass platform to read one network.
Scope read. Only reads, never changes anything.
list_pinterest_boards
List Pinterest boards
List the boards a Pinterest channel can pin to. Every Pinterest post needs one of these ids as settings.boardId, so call this before create_post for Pinterest. Channel id from list_channels.
Scope read. Only reads, never changes anything.
get_tiktok_creator_info
Read TikTok account settings
Read what a TikTok account allows right now: the privacy levels it can post with, whether comments, duets and stitches are turned off, and its longest video. Call this before create_post for TikTok, then ask the user which privacy level to use: TikTok requires the person to choose it, so never pick one yourself.

list_posts
List posts
List posts newest first, or oldest first with sort. Filter by status (draft, pending_approval, scheduled, publishing, published, partially_published, failed), by channel ids, by text in the title or caption with q, or by scheduled time with from and to. Returns nextCursor for the next page.
Scope read. Only reads, never changes anything.
get_post
Read one post
Read one post with every target: channel, content type, caption, media, status, permalink, and the failure reason when publishing failed. This is how you learn whether a post went out.
Scope read. Only reads, never changes anything.
validate_post
Check a post before saving
Run every check create_post would run, without saving anything. Send the same arguments as create_post. Answers ok, the problems each channel reports with the field they concern, blockers such as no free queue slot or a time in the past, and the warnings create_post would return. Call it before create_post when the post targets a platform you have not used yet, or when the user asks whether a post would go through.
Scope read. Only reads, never changes anything.
create_post
Create a post
Create a post for one or more channels. mode decides what happens: draft saves without publishing, schedule needs scheduledAt, queue takes the next free slot in the channel queue, now publishes immediately. Media must exist in the library first (see upload_media_from_url) and is referenced by id. When contentType is left out, the most fitting type for the platform and media is chosen.
Scope write. Creates, changes, or sends something. Acts outside eksis: it can post publicly or send a private message on a social network. Cannot be undone.
update_post
Replace a post
Replace a post that has not been published yet. Send the whole post, not a partial change: targets left out are removed.

reschedule_post
Reschedule a post
Move a post that has not gone out to another time, or to the next free queue slot of its channels with mode queue. A draft becomes scheduled. The post is checked again like create_post. A post waiting for approval must be approved first.
