Skool MCP Server: 35 Tools for Posts, Workflows, DMs & More

What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

MCP is an open standard created by Anthropic that lets AI assistants like Claude and Cursor actually do things in the real world — not just chat. It's how AI tools connect to external services: databases, APIs, platforms, and now your Skool community.

Think of it as giving your AI assistant hands. Instead of copying content from ChatGPT and pasting it into Skool, you say "Schedule this post for Thursday at 9am" and it happens. That's MCP.

The Problem: AI Can't Touch Skool

You're probably already using AI to write community posts, generate engagement prompts, and plan content calendars. But here's where the workflow breaks:

The Copy-Paste Gap

No native Skool MCP. Skool doesn't offer MCP support. AI tools can't connect to your community directly.
No official Skool API. There's no first-party API to build integrations against. The third-party API is limited to basic webhooks.
Manual publishing. You generate content in AI, then manually copy-paste to Skool. Every. Single. Time.
No calendar awareness. Your AI has no idea what's already scheduled, when gaps exist, or what spaces you have.
Can't batch operations. Scheduling 20 posts means 20 separate manual operations in Skool's interface.

What It Looks Like in Practice

Once StickyHive's MCP server is connected, your AI conversations become actionable:

Example: Planning next week's content in Claude

You

What does my content calendar look like next week? Any gaps in the Community space?

I checked your calendar using get_available_slots. You have posts scheduled Monday 9am and Wednesday 2pm, but nothing Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday. That's 3 open slots with good engagement windows at 9am and 12pm.

You

Create 3 engagement posts for those gaps. Mix of question prompts and value posts. Schedule them at 9am each day.

Done. I've created and scheduled 3 posts:

• Tue 9am: "What's the biggest win you had this week?" (engagement prompt)
• Thu 9am: "3 frameworks I use for..." (value post)
• Fri 9am: "Weekend challenge: try this one thing..." (action prompt)

All scheduled in your Community space. Want me to adjust any of them?

35 MCP Tools for Full Skool Control

StickyHive's MCP server exposes 35 purpose-built tools across four categories — giving AI assistants complete access to your Skool operations:

Post Scheduling (9 tools)

create_scheduled_post

Create & Schedule Posts

Create posts with title, content, scheduling time, pin settings, poll options, and auto-first-comment — all in one call.

"Create a poll asking which topic to cover next, schedule it for Monday 9am, and pin it."

get_available_slots

Find Calendar Gaps

AI-powered calendar intelligence: finds open time slots in any space, respecting minimum gaps between posts.

"When are the best times to post next week that don't conflict with existing content?"

bulk_schedule_drafts

"Take my 5 drafts and spread them evenly across next week starting Monday at 10am."

list_scheduled_posts

What Community Managers Use It For

Weekly Content Batching

Generate a full week of engagement posts with AI and schedule them all in one conversation. No more daily manual posting.

"Generate 5 engagement posts for next week and schedule them Mon-Fri at 9am in my Community space."

Calendar Gap Analysis

Ask AI to identify gaps in your content calendar and suggest content to fill them. Never miss a posting day.

"Check my next 2 weeks. Where are the gaps? Suggest topics that fit my community's interests."

Launch Coordination

Schedule announcement posts, teaser content, and follow-ups across multiple spaces for product/course launches.

"I'm launching my course Thursday. Schedule a teaser Wed, the announcement Thu 9am (pinned), and a reminder Fri."

Content Repurposing

Take a long-form post and have AI split it into multiple shorter posts, then schedule them across the week.

"Take this blog post and break it into 4 community posts. Schedule them spread across next week."

Emergency Rescheduling

Plans change. Tell AI to move everything around when your schedule shifts.

"I need to clear Wednesday. Reschedule everything from Wednesday to Thursday and push Thursday's posts to Friday."

Draft Review & Publishing

Review your draft queue with AI, get improvement suggestions, then schedule the approved ones.

"Show me my drafts. Which ones are ready to go? Schedule the good ones this week."

Automated Member Onboarding

Create a workflow that triggers when someone joins, then auto-enrolls them in a DM sequence with a welcome message, day-3 check-in, and day-7 resource share.

"Set up a welcome workflow: when a member joins, enroll them in my onboarding DM sequence automatically."

Engagement-Based DM Campaigns

Build DM sequences that nurture inactive members back into your community with multi-step outreach and tracking.

"Create a re-engagement sequence: friendly check-in on day 1, value share on day 3, personal invite on day 7."

Workflow Testing & Iteration

Dry-run automations with sample data to preview what would happen, then iterate before going live.

"Test my new welcome workflow — show me what DM it would send to a member named Alex."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Skool MCP?

Skool MCP refers to a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants (like Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible tool) to Skool communities. Since Skool has no official API or MCP support, StickyHive built the first MCP server that lets you manage your Skool community through natural language conversations with AI.

Does Skool have native MCP support?

No. Skool does not offer native MCP support or an official first-party API. StickyHive provides the first and only MCP server for Skool, enabling AI tools like Claude and Cursor to schedule posts, manage calendars, and automate publishing in your community.

How do I connect Claude to my Skool community?

Connect your Skool community to StickyHive (2-minute setup with Chrome extension), generate an API key in Settings → Developer, then add the StickyHive MCP server to your Claude Desktop configuration. Once connected, you can ask Claude to schedule posts, find open calendar slots, or publish content — all in natural language.

What can I do with the Skool MCP server?

StickyHive's MCP server provides 35 tools across four categories: 9 for post scheduling (create, update, delete, reschedule, publish, find calendar slots, bulk-schedule), 14 for workflow automation (create trigger-condition-action rules, test, run manually, manage exclusion rules, view run history), 11 for DM sequences (build multi-step campaigns, enroll members, track progress, simulate runs), and 1 for community discovery. All accessible through natural language in any MCP-compatible AI tool.

Is Skool MCP better than using the Skool API?

Skool has no official first-party API. The third-party SkoolAPI offers basic webhooks and member endpoints but can't schedule posts, automate workflows, or run DM sequences. StickyHive's MCP server provides 35 AI-native tools covering scheduling, workflow automation, DM sequences, and community management — capabilities no other integration offers for Skool.

Which AI tools work with StickyHive's Skool MCP?

Any MCP-compatible AI client works, including Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, Windsurf, Cline, and other tools that support the Model Context Protocol. The server uses standard OAuth 2.1 authentication and SSE transport, so any compliant client can connect.

Do I need to be technical to use MCP?

Not really. If you can use Claude Desktop or Cursor, you can use MCP. Setup is adding a server URL to your AI tool's settings. After that, everything is natural language — just ask your AI to schedule posts, and it does it. No coding, no terminal commands, no API calls to write.

Is my community data safe?

Yes. The MCP server uses OAuth 2.1 authentication (the same security standard used by Google, Microsoft, etc.). Your AI tool authenticates with a scoped API key that only has access to scheduling operations. We never store your Skool password, and all data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
