  • 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, OpenClaw 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.

Questions

No. OpenClaw connects to CueEditio as a native MCP server in its config. There is no CueEditio skill to install.

A CueEditio account with an Instagram professional (business or creator) account connected. OpenClaw connects to https://www.cueedit.io/api/mcp/mcp. Agents that can run commands sign themselves up with an email code; you only approve Instagram.

CueEditio’s tools tell the agent to show you the exact message and get a yes before any reply, DM or rule change. You can also keep your agent’s per-tool approval prompts on.

Not yet for everyone. Facebook Page replies and Messenger DMs are waiting on Meta’s review, so these pages cover Instagram only.

Reading posts, comments and rules works on the free plan. Sending replies and DMs and creating Auto DM rules needs CueEditio Pro: $6 a month, or ₹459 in India.
