Askenly MCP server

1. Sign in from Claude

   In Claude, add a custom connector with the server address /api/public/mcp on your Askenly domain. Claude opens an Askenly sign-in page where you choose the workspace to allow. No token to copy.

2. Or create a token

   Open Settings → Account → Claude (MCP) access, give the token a name such as “Claude desktop” and create it. Askenly shows it once, so copy it straight into your assistant. Tokens start with ask_.

3. Ask a simple question

   Try “How did my automations do this month?” If an answer comes back, the connection works.

4. Check it in Settings

   Settings → Account lists each token with when it was last used, so you can see the assistant is connected.

Monthly plan limits, such as scheduled posts and live automations, also apply to every request.

• get_workspace_overview

  Workspace overview

  Plan, MCP access level, the workspace's Instagram accounts and their status, and counts of contacts, active automations, upcoming appointments, scheduled posts and open conversations.

• list_posts

  List posts

  Content posts with their status and schedule. Filter by status to see the publishing calendar.

• list_automations

  List automations

  Instagram automations: name, account, goal, trigger, keywords and whether each is active.

• list_contacts

  List contacts

  Contacts (leads and customers). Optional search over name, handle and email. With account: that account's contacts plus the workspace-wide ones.

• list_appointments

  List appointments

  Bookings between two dates (default: the next 14 days).

• list_conversations

  List conversations

  Recent Instagram DM conversations with the account they came in on, the last message, and whether a person needs to take over.

• find_open_slots

  Find open booking times

  Open appointment times for a booking service, in the business's time zone, using its real availability and existing bookings. Without service_id it lists the bookable services and their ids.

• create_draft_post

  Create draft post

  Create a draft post (caption and optional title). Media is added later in Askenly; drafts are never published automatically.

• update_draft_post

  Update draft post

  Change the caption or title of a post that is still a draft.

• create_or_update_automation

  Create or update automation

  Create an Instagram automation the same way the Askenly builder does, or replace one (pass id; send the full automation, fields left out are cleared). Goals: deliver (send a message and/or link), grow (send a link), book (offer booking times or a booking website), answer (FAQ answers). Example: a comment on the latest Reel containing GUIDE sends a Notion link = goal deliver, trigger comment, keywords ["GUIDE"], apply_to latest_post, link_url. New automations start paused unless active is true, and turning one on needs Full access. Appears in Askenly → Automations and can be edited there.

• create_or_tag_contact

  Create or tag contact

  Add a contact, or update one (by id, or matched by email or Instagram handle): name, email, status and tags. Never deletes a contact.

• schedule_post

  Schedule post

  Schedule a post that has media, 5 minutes to 75 days ahead. Counts toward the plan's monthly post limit.

• unschedule_post

  Unschedule post

  Move a scheduled post back to draft.

• set_automation_status

  Pause or resume automation

  Turn an automation on or off. Turning on respects the plan's active automation limit.

• book_or_reschedule_appointment

  Book, reschedule or cancel appointment

  Enroll in sales email sequence

  Start a Get More Sales email sequence for someone who agreed to receive it. Sends real emails; suppressed or unsubscribed addresses are refused.
