  • list_postsRecent posts and reels with comment and like counts.
  • list_commentsComments on a post, flagged replied, DMed and still DM-eligible.

Why not a posting-only MCP?

  • Scheduler MCPs publish the post. The work that turns views into leads happens in the comments.
  • With CueEditio, Gemini CLI 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.
