Should you build your own Aidelly?
AI agent that runs client social media accounts: publish, approvals, DMs, reports, driven from Claude/ChatGPT via MCP or its own app
The agent layer is the buildable part: a weekend of vibe coding gets you an MCP server that posts to Bluesky and Mastodon, whose APIs are open. Everything after that is the product: approved OAuth apps for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X and Google Business (app review processes measured in weeks, and X's API is pay-per-use), token refresh across eleven platforms that silently break in eleven different ways, publish retry/recovery infrastructure, per-client workspaces with approval workflows, and white-label so agency clients never see the tool. The integration upkeep is not a one-shot; it is the job.

Build me a personal social publishing agent: an MCP server (TypeScript, official SDK) exposing tools post_now, schedule_post, list_queue and cancel_post. Posts go to Bluesky (atproto, app-password auth, image + video upload via the video service) and Mastodon (masto.js, app registration). schedule_post writes to a SQLite queue; a cron worker publishes due posts with retry and exponential backoff, and failed posts surface through a get_failures tool instead of silently dropping. Include a dry-run mode that previews the per-platform rendering (300-grapheme limit handling for Bluesky, 500 chars for Mastodon) before anything goes live.The prompt opens pre-filled in your agent. Review it before running.
What would building your own look like?
An MCP server exposing post-now and schedule tools that publish text and images to Bluesky and Mastodon from a cron-backed queue.
What you will need
- Bluesky app password + Mastodon app registration
- hosted scheduler/cron
- database for queue and post state
- media storage
- developer app approval from each closed platform (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, X) for anything beyond the open ones
Agencies pay because the eleven-platform integration surface is a permanent maintenance treadmill they'd rather not own, and because the workflow around posting (client approvals, white-label reports, per-client isolation) is what they actually sell to their own customers. The AI-agent angle, driving all of it from Claude via MCP, is the part a DIY build can copy; the platform access underneath is the part it can't.

Can I rebuild Aidelly?
Not really. Aidelly’s value is not the code: the moat survives one prompt. See the honest breakdown above.
How much does Aidelly cost?
Aidelly costs about $29/mo (Launch, checked 10/20/2026), which is $348 per year.
What do I lose by replacing Aidelly?
Honestly: the closed platforms: Meta, TikTok, YouTube, X and Google Business need approved developer apps and policy compliance; client approval workflows and per-client workspace isolation; white-label (your clients seeing your brand, not your stack); publish reliability infrastructure: retries, token-refresh, failure emails, watchdogs; inbox/DM automation and cross-client analytics reports. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
Is there an open-source alternative to Aidelly?
Yes: Postiz (Self-hosted scheduler for 20+ platforms; you still bring your own developer apps for the closed ones.) Mixpost (Laravel self-hosted social scheduling; lite tier is free, same bring-your-own-OAuth catch.) The prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
