Run your PR from Claude, with the Presscloud MCP server
The Presscloud MCP server connects Claude, or any other MCP client, to your Presscloud account. You ask in plain language for a press list, a draft press release or the results of a campaign, and Claude carries it out inside Presscloud. Available to agencies on the Enterprise plan.
- No code needed
- For agencies on the Enterprise plan
What is an MCP server, and what does the Presscloud one do?
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, an open standard Anthropic published at the end of 2024. It describes how an AI client such as Claude may use tools from other systems. An MCP server is the side of that connection offering those tools.
Presscloud runs one of those servers on its own environment. Your client signs in with a personal access token and gets the Presscloud tools: search journalists, build press lists, draft press releases, schedule deliveries and read results back. No connector and no code of your own.
- An open standard
- MCP does not belong to Presscloud. Any client that speaks the standard can connect.
- One server, every tool
- You connect to a single URL. The tools your token is allowed to use show up in your client right away.
- You keep the key
- Your token carries scopes for reading, writing and sending. Revoke it whenever you want.
Every client, one conversation
As an agency you keep many clients running at once, and PR is often what waits. Through the MCP server every Presscloud feature is a tool Claude calls and combines into a working PR flow by itself. You give the instruction, check the result and approve the send.
You run your whole portfolio over the same connection. Ask for an overview of every campaign in flight, have press lists updated in bulk, or get last month's reporting ready for every client.
What that sounds like in practice
- "Show me every client with a campaign scheduled this month, and flag the ones without a press list."
- "Send the Pockies collection release to the same list as last time, Tuesday 7am."
- "Which journalists opened our last three mailings but never replied?"
Which plan is this part of?

Questions about the MCP server
It is the connection between your AI client and your Presscloud account. Claude, Cursor or Zed gets the Presscloud tools through the server and uses them for your PR work: search journalists, build press lists, draft press releases, schedule deliveries and read results back.
Anything that speaks the Model Context Protocol. In practice that means Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and Zed, plus any other MCP client you use. The connection runs over HTTP with an access token.
No. You create a token in your agency settings, paste the server URL and the token into your client and ask your first question. That takes a few minutes and no code.
No. Writing and sending stay separate. A delivery is prepared and only goes out after you confirm it. Your token carries scopes, so you can also give a client read-only access.
The MCP server comes with the Enterprise plan for agencies, together with your own access tokens and every client account under one login. The agency pricing page lists what else is included.
The server runs on agency accounts. Working for one brand and still want to use it? Book a demo and we will look at what is possible.
