You

For every reel in ./reels/*.md that has a "keyword:" line, make sure an Auto DM rule exists for that keyword on that reel. Show me the missing ones first.

Claude Code

4 reel notes have keywords. Rules already exist for 2 (LINK, PDF). Missing: • "hooks.md" → keyword HOOKS, link https://example.com/hooks • "setup.md" → keyword SETUP, link https://example.com/setup Create both with follow required?

Instagram tools Claude Code gets

  • list_accountsConnected Instagram accounts, your plan, and whether sending is on.
  • list_postsRecent posts and reels with comment and like counts.
  • list_commentsComments on a post, flagged replied, DMed and still DM-eligible.
  • reply_to_commentPosts a public reply under a comment.
  • send_dmSends a private DM to the person who commented.

Why not a posting-only MCP?

  • Scheduler MCPs publish the post. The work that turns views into leads happens in the comments.
  • With CueEditio, Claude Code can reply to every comment and DM the people who ask for your link.
  • Auto DM rules keep running on CueEditio’s servers after the chat ends.
