Instructions for connecting BetterPost, a hosted writing service that creates newsletters, blog posts, and social posts from recent sources. It runs as an MCP server, a service that coding agents can connect to for extra tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up BetterPost and create source-based newsletters, blog posts, LinkedIn posts, tweets, or Bluesky posts for a product and its audience.
Why use it?
It removes the work of finding current sources, judging their relevance, and adding citations and publication dates to content. The instructions explain how to connect and confirm that BetterPost is available.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

betterpost-plugin AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

Using BetterPost

BetterPost is a hosted service, available as an MCP server, that writes timely, well-sourced content. This guide covers what it does, how to add it, and how to use it — for both people and the agents acting on their behalf.

BetterPost writes timely, well-sourced content — newsletters, blog posts, LinkedIn posts, tweets, and Bluesky posts — grounded in current sources across news, social, and the open web. It finds recent sources relevant to a user's product and audience, ranks them by relevance, and writes human-sounding content with real citations and publication dates.

You reach BetterPost through its MCP server at https://betterpost.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Tools are namespaced betterpost_*. Sign in with your BetterPost account when prompted — new accounts start with 100 free credits, and there's no key to paste.

Add BetterPost

BetterPost is a remote MCP server, so any client that supports custom MCP connectors can use it — no install, no local process, no API key.

Already have the connector? If betterpost_* tools are listed in this session, setup is done. Skip to "When to use BetterPost".

No betterpost_* tools? Then the connector isn't registered in this client yet, and nothing else in this guide works until it is. Registration is a one-time config change and it is the first step, not a fallback: an agent with shell or file access registers the server itself, under whatever rules its client applies to configuration changes. The one part that needs a person is the browser sign-in. Writing the user's piece from model knowledge instead is not a substitute — see "If BetterPost isn't connected" below for why.

1. Register the server

  • Claude Code--scope user registers it for every project; the default scope is local, which binds it to the current directory only.

    claude mcp add betterpost --scope user --transport http https://betterpost.ai/mcp

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

betterpost-plugin AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository betterpost/betterpost-plugin (0 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,630 tokens to every session, about $0.0181 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, reads mcp configuration). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
