Boring Threads Publisher#

Publish posts, multi-post threads, and replies on Threads. Powered by Boring.

Security & Data Handling#

• MCP link is a credential: Your MCP Server URL ( https://boring.aiagent-me.com/mcp/t/xxxxx...) contains an embedded authentication token. Treat it like a password — do not share it publicly.
• Token scope: The embedded token grants publish access to your connected social media accounts. It can create posts, upload media, and manage scheduled posts on the platforms you have connected. It cannot access your social media passwords or modify account settings.
• Token storage: The token is stored server-side in Boring's database (MongoDB on DigitalOcean). It is never written to your local filesystem. You can regenerate or revoke it anytime at boring.aiagent-me.com/settings.
• Data flow: Analytics queries are sent from Boring's server (Google Cloud, us-central1) to the platform's API on your behalf. Only performance metrics are retrieved — no content is uploaded or modified.
• No local credentials: No local API keys, environment variables, or secrets are needed. All auth is embedded in the MCP link.
• Third-party service: This skill relies on Boring, an open-source social media management tool. Source code: github.com/snoopyrain.

Prerequisites#

1. Sign up at boring.aiagent-me.com with Google
2. Connect Threads account via OAuth
3. Get your MCP link: Go to Settings → copy your MCP Server URL (contains your auth token — treat it like a password)
4. Add to Claude: Paste the MCP link as a Connector — no install, no API key needed

Workflow#

Step 1: List Accounts#

Call boring_list_accounts and filter for threads platform. Show connected accounts.

Step 2: Determine Post Type#

Threads supports multiple content types:

TypeDescriptionLimitTextText-only post500 charactersPhotoSingle imageJPG/PNG/WEBP, max 8MBCarouselMulti-image2-20 images (more than other platforms!)VideoSingle videoMP4/MOV, max 512MB, 5 minThreadMulti-post threadArray of text posts, each up to 500 chars

Step 3: Choose the Right Tool#

Single post (text, photo, carousel, video) → use boring_publish_post:

text

boring_publish_post(
  account_id="<threads_account_id>",
  platform="threads",
  text="Your post content",
  media_urls=["https://..."]  (optional)
)

Multi-post thread (long-form content split into connected posts) → use boring_publish_thread:

text

boring_publish_thread(
  account_id="<threads_account_id>",
  platform="threads",
  texts=["First post in thread", "Second post continues...", "Third post wraps up"],
  media_urls=["https://..."]  (optional, added to first post only)
)

Reply to existing post → use boring_reply_to_post_threads:

text

boring_reply_to_post_threads(
  account_id="<threads_account_id>",
  reply_to_id="<original_post_id>",
  text="Your reply here",
  media_urls=["https://..."]  (optional, first URL only)
)

Step 4: Handle Long Content#

If the user provides content longer than 500 characters:

1. Automatically split into multiple posts for a thread
2. Split at sentence boundaries when possible
3. Use boring_publish_thread with the array of texts
4. Inform the user: "Your content was split into X connected posts"

Step 5: Prepare Media#

• Local files: boring_upload_file with file_path
• URLs: boring_upload_from_url to re-host
• Google Drive: Pass directly

Step 6: Publish and Report#

Show results:

• Post ID(s) for each published post
• Thread URL if it was a multi-post thread
• Any errors encountered

Scheduling#

Add scheduled_at in ISO 8601 format to schedule:

text

boring_publish_post(..., scheduled_at="2025-12-25T10:00:00Z")
boring_publish_thread(..., scheduled_at="2025-12-25T10:00:00Z")

• Token: 60-day expiration with auto-refresh 5 days before expiry
• Rate Limit: 250 calls/hour per user
