# Boring Facebook Publisher Publish and schedule posts to Facebook Pages. Powered by [Boring](https://boring-doc.aiagent-me.com). ## 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](https://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](https://boring.aiagent-me.com), an open-source social media management tool.

Show the user their connected Pages. ### Step 2: Confirm Content Ask the user what to post. Facebook supports: | Type | Description | Media | |------|-------------|-------| | Text | Caption-only post | None | | Photo | Single image post | 1 image (JPG/PNG, max 4MB) | | Album | Multi-image post | 2-10 images | | Video | Video post | 1 video (MP4/MOV, max 1GB, max 240 min) | ### Step 3: Prepare Media If the user provides media: - **Local file**: `boring_upload_file` with `file_path` - **URL**: `boring_upload_from_url` with the URL - **Google Drive link**: Pass directly to `media_urls` ### Step 4: Publish or Schedule Call `boring_publish_post` with: ``` account_id: "<facebook_account_id>" platform: "facebook" text: "Your post content here" media_urls: ["https://...image.jpg"] (optional) scheduled_at: "2025-12-25T10:00:00Z" (optional, for scheduling) ``` **For immediate publish**: omit `scheduled_at` **For scheduling**: include `scheduled_at` in ISO 8601 format ### Step 5: Report Show the user: - Post ID and success confirmation - If scheduled: the scheduled time and post ID ## Managing Scheduled Posts - **View scheduled**: `boring_list_scheduled_posts` with `platform: "facebook"` - **Cancel**: `boring_cancel_scheduled_post` with the `scheduled_post_id` ## Facebook-Specific Notes - **Token**: Facebook Page tokens never expire — no re-authentication needed - **Data Access**: Valid for 90 days (auto-managed by Boring) - **Rate Limit**: 200 API calls/hour per Page - **Permissions**: `pages_manage_posts`, `pages_read_engagement` - **Aspect Ratio**: 16:9 or 9:16 recommended for videos ## Error Handling | Error | Solution | |-------|----------| | `InvalidApiKey` | MCP link may be invalid — regenerate it at boring.aiagent-me.com Settings | | `InvalidAccountId` | Run `boring_list_accounts` to get valid account IDs | | `MediaTooLarge` | Images max 4MB, videos max 1GB | | `PublishingFailed` | Check if Page permissions are correct at boring.aiagent-me.com | | `RateLimitExceeded` | Wait and retry — 200 calls/hour limit | ## Examples **Text post**: ``` boring_publish_post(account_id="abc", platform="facebook", text="Hello from Boring!") ``` **Photo post**: ``` boring_publish_post(account_id="abc", platform="facebook", text="Check this out!", media_urls=["https://example.com/photo.jpg"]) ``` **Schedule for tomorrow 9 AM UTC**: ``` boring_publish_post(account_id="abc", platform="facebook", text="Scheduled post!", scheduled_at="2025-12-26T09:00:00Z") ``` ## Documentation Full API docs: [boring-doc.aiagent-me.com](https://boring-doc.aiagent-me.com)
