OmniPost — Getting started

OmniPost is a desktop application for distributing prepared content. It does not generate content — your agent, editor, or workflow prepares a title and Markdown body, and OmniPost turns it into drafts, published posts, schedules, and traceable records across many platforms. Everything runs locally; accounts and records stay under ~/.omnipost.

Install

1. Get OmniPost from the downloads page — the Microsoft Store build is recommended on Windows.
2. Launch it. OmniPost starts a local service on 127.0.0.1:8787 and opens the desktop window.

Connect an account

Open the Accounts tab and add a platform (for example CSDN, Juejin, or Zhihu). A real browser window opens and you log in yourself — by QR code or password. OmniPost never injects scripts during login; it just keeps the session. You can add several accounts on the same platform, each isolated in its own storage partition.

Overseas platforms that use official APIs (Dev.to, Mastodon, WordPress, Ghost…) don't need a login window — you configure API credentials instead.

Publish something

Give OmniPost a title and a Markdown body, pick one or more targets, and choose a mode:

• Draft — create a draft on the platform (the safe default; nothing goes public).
• Publish — attempt to publish for real (only on platforms that support automatic publishing).
• Schedule — publish automatically at a chosen time.

Each target returns a clear result: whether it landed as a draft or a published post, the editor/post URL, and a reason code if it was skipped or failed. OmniPost never reports a draft as "published".

Drive it from an agent

OmniPost exposes the same core over MCP, CLI, and HTTP. Most agents connect over MCP (SSE):

claude mcp add --transport sse omnipost http://127.0.0.1:8787/sse

The app must be running. See Driving OmniPost from an agent.

Pricing

OmniPost's free tier is genuinely free — download and use it, no trial. It covers the core developer platforms and drafts. Real publishing, all 40+ platforms, agent automation, scheduling, and account groups are Pro (from ¥39/month). See pricing.
