Everything you need to create and publish social media slideshows from Claude.

What is Plannic?

Plannic is a Claude MCP connector that lets you create professional social media carousels and slideshows directly from a conversation with Claude. Describe what you want, and Claude will search for images, build your slideshow, and let you publish it to Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Threads — all without leaving the chat.

Getting Started

Connect in Claude: Add Plannic as an MCP connector from the Claude Integrations page or the Anthropic Connectors directory.
Sign in with Google: When prompted, authenticate with your Google account.
Subscribe: Start your $1 trial to activate all features. After the trial, plans are $19.99/month or $199.99/year.
Connect social accounts: Link the social media accounts you want to publish to (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads).

How to Use

The typical workflow is:

Describe your idea to Claude (e.g., "Create a carousel about morning yoga routines")
Claude searches for images using the Pexels library
Claude creates your slideshow with images and captions
Preview your slideshow via the link Claude provides
Request edits if needed (e.g., "swap slide 3 for a beach photo")
Publish from the preview page to your connected accounts

Available Tools

Claude uses three tools when working with Plannic:

`plannic_search_images`

Search for images by keyword. Returns thumbnails with image_id values for use in slideshows.

queries string[] required Search keywords (e.g., ["sunset beach", "yoga outdoor"])

`plannic_create_post`

Create a new slideshow from image IDs and captions.

title string optional Post title, shown on LinkedIn & Threads

slides array required Array of slides, each with image_id (number, required), caption (string, required), and optional caption_tiktok / caption_threads

`plannic_edit_post`

Edit an existing slideshow. Replaces slides with the updated array.

FAQ & Troubleshooting

Why can't I publish to TikTok directly?

TikTok's API only supports posting photo slideshows as drafts. You'll need to open TikTok to review and publish the draft.

My slideshow link says "expired"

Slideshows expire after 24 hours. Ask Claude to recreate it — your conversation history is preserved, so it can rebuild it quickly.

Can I use my own images?

Currently, Plannic uses Pexels for image search. Custom image uploads are not yet supported.

How do I disconnect a social account?

Visit the Plannic settings page (linked from the slideshow preview) to manage your connected accounts.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel anytime through the Stripe customer portal. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
