Claude Code works as you
Inside your rules, every time.
Claude Code sees what you can see and does only what your role allows, limited to the permissions you choose. The same checks run as when you work in Postivate yourself.
You choose what it may do
On Postivate’s consent screen you pick Claude Code’s permissions. By default it drafts, but doesn’t publish or approve.
Your approval rules apply
Where a workspace requires approval, what the agent writes waits for an approver, just like your own posts.
Marked in the activity log
Everything it does is recorded under your name, with Claude Code shown as the app that did it.
Disconnect any time
Under My account → Connected apps. Its access ends immediately.

Claude Code FAQ
Postivate and Claude Code, answered.
What does the setup command do?
It registers Postivate as a remote MCP server in Claude Code. Then /mcp lets you authenticate: Claude Code opens Postivate in the browser for you to sign in and choose what it may do.
Can I use it in CI without a browser?
Connecting Claude Code over MCP signs you in as a person in the browser. For unattended automation, use the REST API with an API key instead.
Can Claude Code publish without me?
Claude Code acts as you, with your role and only the permissions you allowed when you connected it. By default it can draft but not publish or approve. If you allow scheduling or publishing, the workspace’s approval rules still apply, so a post that needs approval waits for an approver. Approving is a separate permission that is off unless you turn it on.
Which plan do I need to use Claude Code with Postivate?
MCP is included on every plan, and in the free trial. What the agent can reach follows your access: the workspaces and channels you can open, with your role.
How do I disconnect it?
Under My account → Connected apps in Postivate. Disconnecting ends its access immediately. And if you lose access to a workspace in Postivate, your apps lose it at the same moment.
Can my team see what the agent did?
Yes. Everything Claude Code does is recorded under your name and marked with the app, so posts and the activity log show it was done through Claude Code.
