What this setup does
In this setup, Notis handles the AI work: generating post ideas, drafting captions, creating images, reviewing outputs, and deciding when content is ready to publish. Postiz handles the publishing actions through MCP: listing connected social accounts, scheduling or publishing posts, generating AI images and videos, and other platform actions exposed by its API.Prerequisites
- A Notis workspace with access to custom MCP connections
- A Postiz account
- A Postiz API key from Settings → Developers → Public API in Postiz
- At least one connected social account inside Postiz

Example workflow: let Notis create, let Postiz publish
A strong workflow is to use Notis for the creative and quality-control steps, then let Postiz execute the actual social publishing.- Create the content in Notis — Have Notis generate the visual or video based on your campaign brief, audience, and brand voice.
- Validate the content in Notis — Ask Notis to check for quality, brand consistency, legibility, and platform fit.
- Draft and validate the caption in Notis — Have Notis write the caption, verify clarity and tone, and confirm hashtags, mentions, and CTA quality.
-
Schedule or publish via Postiz MCP — Once the content and caption are approved, Notis uses Postiz’s
schedulePostToolto schedule or publish immediately.
Example prompts
- “Show me all my connected social accounts in Postiz.”
- “Create a LinkedIn post image for our product launch, then schedule it for next Tuesday at 9:00 AM.”
- “Write three caption options for this post and publish the best one to X right now.”
- “Generate a short video for Instagram about our new feature and schedule it for tomorrow.”
- “Draft a post for LinkedIn and X, review it with me, then schedule once I approve.”
Postiz vs. Zernio — quick comparison

|---|---|---|

| AI Video Generation | ✅ Built-in | ❌ |

When to self-host
Postiz is open source. If you want to run the MCP server yourself, replacehttps://api.postiz.com with your own NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_URL and use the same /mcp endpoint. For most Notis users, the hosted endpoint is the simplest setup.
Troubleshooting
-
Authentication fails: Confirm you pasted a valid Postiz API key and that Notis is sending it as a Bearer token in the
Authorizationheader. -
No tools appear: Verify the MCP server URL is exactly
https://api.postiz.com/mcp. - Posting fails: Confirm the destination social account is already connected inside Postiz.
- You want more control over the creative review: Keep generation and validation steps inside Notis, and call Postiz only after approval.
