Connect Claude or any MCP-compatible assistant to your workspace. Ask how your automations are doing, draft new ones, find open booking times and more, all by chat.
Type a request in your AI assistant, in plain words: “How did my automations do this week?”
It picks the right Askenly tool and sends the request over MCP, signed in as your workspace.
Askenly reads or changes your workspace within your plan’s limits, and your assistant shows you the result.
MCP is included from the Starter plan. Pick the way that suits your assistant.
/api/public/mcpNo token to copy. Disconnect it any time in Askenly under Settings → Account.

Your plan sets the access level and daily limits. Every request is checked against them.
Look things up without changing anything. From Starter.
get_workspace_overviewPlan, MCP access level, and counts of contacts, active automations, upcoming appointments, scheduled posts and open conversations.
list_postsContent posts with their status and schedule. Filter by status to see the publishing calendar.
list_automationsInstagram automations: name, goal, trigger, keywords and whether each is active.
list_contactsContacts (leads and customers). Optional search over name, handle and email.
list_appointmentsBookings between two dates (default: the next 14 days).
list_conversationsRecent Instagram DM conversations with the last message, and whether a person needs to take over.
find_open_slotsOpen appointment times for a booking service, in the business's time zone, using its real availability and existing bookings. Without service_id it lists the bookable services and their ids.
Create drafts, automations and contacts for you to review. From Growth.
create_draft_postCreate a draft post (caption and optional title). Media is added later in Askenly; drafts are never published automatically.
update_draft_postChange the caption or title of a post that is still a draft.
create_or_update_automationCreate an Instagram automation the same way the Askenly builder does, or replace one (pass id; send the full automation, fields left out are cleared). Goals: deliver (send a message and/or link), grow (send a link), book (offer booking times or a booking website), answer (FAQ answers). Example: a comment on the latest Reel containing GUIDE sends a Notion link = goal deliver, trigger comment, keywords ["GUIDE"], apply_to latest_post, link_url. New automations start paused unless active is true, and turning one on needs Full access. Appears in Askenly → Automations and can be edited there.
create_or_tag_contactAdd a contact, or update one (by id, or matched by email or Instagram handle): name, email, status and tags. Never deletes a contact.
Schedule, pause, book and enrol, with the same checks as the app. From Scale.
schedule_postSchedule a post that has media, 5 minutes to 75 days ahead. Counts toward the plan's monthly post limit.
unschedule_postMove a scheduled post back to draft.
set_automation_statusTurn an automation on or off. Turning on respects the plan's active automation limit.
book_or_reschedule_appointmentBook a customer into an open time (see find_open_slots), move a booking to another open time, or cancel it. Customers with an email get the usual confirmation, reminder and change emails with their reschedule/cancel link.
enroll_in_sales_sequenceStart a Get More Sales email sequence for someone who agreed to receive it. Sends real emails; suppressed or unsubscribed addresses are refused.
Posts it writes stay as drafts, and automations it creates start paused unless your plan has Full access and you ask for them to be turned on.
Daily call and draft caps, monthly post limits and active automation limits are checked on every request.
MCP can’t message your followers. Emails only go to people who agreed to receive them; unsubscribed addresses are refused.
Every call is recorded. Revoke a token or disconnect an app any time in Settings → Account.
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants use outside tools. Askenly’s MCP server gives your assistant a safe set of tools for your workspace.
