# Connect Roo Code to 1Post over MCP

Add the 1Post MCP server to Roo Code: the exact settings, how to sign in or use a key, and a request and reply to check it works.

Connect Roo Code to 1Post by adding the MCP server at https://api.get1post.com/v1/mcp with your API key, or at https://api.get1post.com/v1/mcp/oauth to sign in. Roo Code then lists your accounts, schedules posts and reads results with your role. The steps and the exact Roo Code settings are below; actions that cancel or reply need confirmation.

## Set up Roo Code

1. Make a key. In 1Post, make a key with write scope under Settings, then API keys.
2. Open the settings. Click the MCP icon at the top of the Roo Code pane, scroll to the bottom and choose Edit Global MCP. A .roo/mcp.json file in a project takes precedence for a server of the same name.
3. Add the server. Add the entry below with the streamable-http type.
4. Check the connection. Ask Roo Code to list your 1Post accounts.

## The Roo Code settings

**mcp_settings.json**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "1post": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://api.get1post.com/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer op_live_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

The type is spelled streamable-http here, with a hyphen.

## A request and its reply

Once connected, Roo Code sends tool calls like this one when you ask it to schedule a post. Account ids come from list_accounts.

**Tool call**

```json
{
  "name": "create_post",
  "arguments": {
    "accounts": [
      "ACCOUNT_ID"
    ],
    "text": "Doors open at nine.",
    "schedule_at": "2026-11-02T15:00:00Z"
  }
}
```

**Reply, abridged**

```json
{
  "id": "POST_ID",
  "status": "scheduled",
  "scheduled_at": "2026-11-02T15:00:00.000Z",
  "accounts": [
    {
      "account_id": "ACCOUNT_ID",
      "status": "queued"
    }
  ]
}
```

## What the connection can do

| Tool | What it does | Needs |
| --- | --- | --- |
| list_accounts | Lists connected accounts and their state | Read |
| create_post | Saves, schedules or publishes a post | Write |
| get_post | Reads one post and the result for each account | Read |
| cancel_post | Cancels a post that has not started | Write and confirm: true |

The connection acts with the role of the member who made the key or signed in, so a contributor's posts still go to review. The full tool list is on the [MCP page](https://get1post.com/docs/mcp.md).

## Questions

**Global or project settings?**

Global applies everywhere. A .roo/mcp.json in a project wins over the global entry of the same name.

**What can Roo Code do once it is connected?**

It can list your accounts, create and update posts, read results and analytics, and cancel or reply when you confirm. It cannot do more than the member behind the key or sign-in.
