Version: 1.0.1

Documentation — Installation, deployment, usage across the API, CLI, and MCP interfaces, and guidance for provisioning a self-hosted Postiz instance are maintained in the official documentation.

---

Overview

Postiz Agent is a production-grade Agent and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to interface directly with Agent for interacting with Postiz Public API.

---

Key Features

• Consolidated Action-Routed MCP Tools: Minimizes token overhead and eliminates tool bloat in LLM contexts by grouping methods into optimized, togglable tool modules.
• Enterprise-Grade Security: Comprehensive support for Eunomia policies, OIDC token delegation, and granular execution context tracking.
• Integrated Graph Agent: Built-in Pydantic AI agent supporting the Agent Control Protocol (ACP) and standard Web interfaces (AG-UI).
• Native Telemetry & Tracing: Out-of-the-box OpenTelemetry exports and native Langfuse tracing.

---

CLI or API

This agent wraps the Agent for interacting with Postiz Public API API. You can interact with it programmatically or via its integrated execution entrypoints.

Detailed instructions on how to use the underlying API wrappers, extended schema bindings, and developer SDK references are maintained in docs/index.md.

---

MCP

This server utilizes dynamic Action-Routed tools to optimize token overhead and maximize IDE compatibility.

Dynamic Tool Selection & Visibility

This MCP server supports dynamic toolset selection and visibility filtering at runtime. This allows you to restrict the set of exposed tools in order to prevent blowing up the LLM's context window.

You can configure tool filtering via multiple input channels:

• CLI Arguments: Pass --tools or --toolsets (or their disabled counterparts --disabled-tools and --disabled-toolsets) during startup.
• Environment Variables: Define standard environment variables:
  • MCP_ENABLED_TOOLS / MCP_DISABLED_TOOLS
  • MCP_ENABLED_TAGS / MCP_DISABLED_TAGS
• HTTP SSE Request Headers: Pass custom headers during transport initialization:
  • x-mcp-enabled-tools / x-mcp-disabled-tools
  • x-mcp-enabled-tags / x-mcp-disabled-tags
• HTTP SSE Request Query Parameters: Append query parameters directly to your transport connection URL:
  • ?tools=tool1,tool2
  • ?tags=tag1

When query strings or parameters are supplied, an LLM-free Knowledge Graph resolution layer (using DynamicToolOrchestrator) matches query intents against known tool tags, names, or descriptions, with safe fallback and automated 24-hour background cache refreshing.

MCP Configuration Examples

Install the slim [mcp] extra. All examples install postiz-agent[mcp] — the MCP-server extra that pulls only the FastMCP / FastAPI tooling (agent-utilities[mcp]). It deliberately excludes the heavy agent runtime (pydantic-ai, the epistemic-graph engine, dspy, llama-index), so uvx / container installs are far smaller. Use the full [agent] extra only when you need the integrated Pydantic AI agent.

stdio Transport (local IDEs — Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code)

Alternatively, connect to a pre-deployed Streamable-HTTP instance by url:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postiz-mcp": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/postiz-mcp/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Deploying the Streamable-HTTP server via Docker:

docker run -d \
  --name postiz-mcp-mcp \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -e TRANSPORT=streamable-http \
  -e HOST=0.0.0.0 \

Additional Deployment Options

postiz-agent can also run as a local container (Docker / Podman / uv) or be consumed from a remote deployment. The Deployment guide has full, copy-paste mcp_config.json for all four transports — stdio, streamable-http, local container / uv, and remote URL:

• Local container / uv — launch the server from mcp_config.json via uvx, docker run, or podman run, or point at a local streamable-http container by url.
• Remote URL — connect to a server deployed behind Caddy at http://postiz-mcp.arpa/mcp using the "url" key.

Agent

This repository features a fully integrated Pydantic AI Graph Agent. It communicates over the Agent Control Protocol (ACP) and interacts seamlessly with the Agent Web UI (AG-UI) and Terminal interface.

Running the Agent CLI

To start the interactive command-line agent:

# Set credentials
export POSTIZ_TOKEN="your_value"

# Run the agent server
postiz-agent --provider openai --model-id gpt-4o

Docker Compose Orchestration

The following docker/agent.compose.yml configures the Agent, Web UI, and Terminal Interface together:

Security & Governance

Built directly upon the enterprise-ready agent-utilities core, standard security parameters are fully supported:

Access Control & Policy Enforcement

• Eunomia Policies: Fine-grained, policy-driven tool authorization. Supports none, local embedded (mcp_policies.json), or centralized remote modes.
• OIDC Token Delegation: Compliant with RFC 8693 token exchange for flowing authenticating user credentials from Web UI / ACP → Agent → MCP.
• Scoped Credentials: Execution context runs restricted to the specific caller identity.

Runtime Security Grid

Feature	Functionality	Enablement
Tool Guard	Sensitivity inspection with human-in-the-loop validation	Enabled by default
Prompt Injection Defense	Input scanning, repetition monitoring, and recursive loop blocks	Enabled by default

Installation

Pick the extra that matches what you want to run:

Extra	Installs	Use when
postiz-agent[mcp]	Slim MCP server only (agent-utilities[mcp] — FastMCP/FastAPI)	You only run the MCP server (smallest install / image)
postiz-agent[agent]	Full agent runtime (agent-utilities[agent,logfire] — Pydantic AI + the epistemic-graph engine)	You run the integrated agent
postiz-agent[all]	Everything (mcp + agent + logfire)	Development / both surfaces

# MCP server only (recommended for tool hosting — slim deps)
uv pip install "postiz-agent[mcp]"

# Full agent runtime (Pydantic AI + epistemic-graph engine)
uv pip install "postiz-agent[agent]"

# Everything (development)
uv pip install "postiz-agent[all]"      # or: python -m pip install "postiz-agent[all]"

Container images (:mcp vs :agent)

One multi-stage docker/Dockerfile builds two right-sized images, selected by --target:

Image tag	Build target	Contents	Entrypoint
knucklessg1/postiz-agent:mcp	--target mcp	postiz-agent[mcp] — slim, no engine/pydantic-ai/dspy/llama-index/tree-sitter	postiz-mcp
knucklessg1/postiz-agent:latest	--target agent (default)	postiz-agent[agent] — full agent runtime + epistemic-graph engine	postiz-agent

docker build --target mcp   -t knucklessg1/postiz-agent:mcp    docker/   # slim MCP server
docker build --target agent -t knucklessg1/postiz-agent:latest docker/   # full agent

docker/mcp.compose.yml runs the slim :mcp server; docker/agent.compose.yml runs the agent (:latest) with a co-located :mcp sidecar.

Knowledge-graph database (epistemic-graph)

The full agent ([agent] / :latest) embeds the epistemic-graph engine (pulled in transitively via agent-utilities[agent]). For production — or to share one knowledge graph across multiple agents — run epistemic-graph as its own database container and point the agent at it instead of embedding it. Deployment recipes (single-node + Raft HA), connection config, and the full database architecture (with diagrams) are documented in the epistemic-graph deployment guide. The slim [mcp] server does not require the database.

Deploy with agent-os-genesis

This package can be provisioned for you — skill-guided — by the agent-os-genesis universal skill (its single-package deploy mode): it picks your install method, seeds secrets to OpenBao/Vault (or .env), trusts your enterprise CA, registers the MCP server, and verifies it — the same machinery that stands up the whole Agent OS, narrowed to just this package. Ask your agent to "deploy postiz-agent with agent-os-genesis".

Install mode	Command
Bare-metal, prod (PyPI)	uvx postiz-mcp · or uv tool install postiz-agent
Bare-metal, dev (editable)	uv pip install -e ".[all]" · or pip install -e ".[all]"
Container, prod	deploy knucklessg1/postiz-agent:latest via docker-compose / swarm / podman / podman-compose / kubernetes
Container, dev (editable)	deploy docker/compose.dev.yml (source-mounted at /src; edits live on restart)

Secrets are read-existing + seeded via vault_sync — you are only prompted for what's missing.
