# MCP: Manage dibales.ai from AI Apps

Connect your dibales.ai account to Claude, ChatGPT, or Claude Code, then manage scheduled posts and automations by chatting.

MCP (*Model Context Protocol*) connects your dibales.ai account to the AI app you use: **Claude**, **ChatGPT**, or **Claude Code**. Once it's connected, you just type a request in the chat, such as *"Create a draft Instagram post for Kopi Senja for 7:00 tomorrow"*. The AI app does the work in dibales.ai.

This guide is for the **new dibales.ai dashboard**. In the old dashboard, the **MCP** menu opens a window that says **MCP lives in the new dashboard**. Click **Switch to the new dashboard** to continue.

## What you can do by chatting

| Area | Through the AI app | Still in the dibales.ai dashboard |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Agents and accounts | See your agents, their plans, and connected accounts | Connecting or reconnecting accounts |
| Post Scheduler | See, create (draft, scheduled, or published right away), edit, and cancel posts | Adding photos/videos when you use Claude or ChatGPT (see the note below) |
| Instagram (Comment to DM), TikTok, and WhatsApp automations | See, create, edit, start, and pause automations | Deleting automations and setting up Ask for Payment |

💡 Photos or videos for posts can only be uploaded through chat in an AI app that can run commands on your computer, such as **Claude Code**. In Claude and ChatGPT, ask for the post to be saved as a draft first, then add the media and schedule it in [Manage Posts](/dashboard/jadwal-post/kelola-post). Images for automation messages can come from the agent's [Library](/dashboard/library).

## Before you start

- **Plan**: an active Plus or Pro plan. Agents with an inactive subscription still show up in the AI app, but they can't be managed until you renew them in [Billing](/dashboard/akun/billing).
- **The accounts you want to manage are already connected in dibales.ai.** The AI app can't connect accounts.
  - For automations: [Connect Your Accounts](/dashboard/mulai/hubungkan-akun).
  - For Post Scheduler: [Connect Post Scheduler Accounts](/dashboard/jadwal-post/hubungkan-akun).
- **WhatsApp automations** are **Pro** only, with a connected WhatsApp number.
- **An AI app** that supports MCP connectors: Claude (claude.ai or Claude Desktop), ChatGPT with Developer mode, or Claude Code. Each app decides who can use connectors, and it can depend on your Claude or ChatGPT plan.
- **A dibales.ai account** to sign in with when you allow access.

## How it works

Connect once, then use it in every chat.

| Stage | Guide | What you do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | [Connect to Claude](/dashboard/mcp/hubungkan-claude), [ChatGPT](/dashboard/mcp/hubungkan-chatgpt), or [Claude Code](/dashboard/mcp/hubungkan-claude-code) | Copy the MCP server URL from dibales.ai, add it to your AI app, then sign in and allow access. Pick the one for the app you use. |
| 2 | [Manage Through Chat](/dashboard/mcp/atur-lewat-percakapan) | Ask the AI app to create a post or an automation, then check the result in the dashboard. |
| 3 | [Check & Revoke Access](/dashboard/mcp/kelola-akses) | See which apps are connected, and revoke access for any you no longer use. |

An MCP connection applies to **every agent** you can access, not just the agent you have open. If you have several agents, name the agent in every request, such as *"for the Kopi Senja agent"*.

## Security

- The AI app never sees your dibales.ai password. You sign in on the dibales.ai page yourself, then choose **Allow**.
- The AI app can only manage your own agents and agents you were invited to through Team access. They're listed under **Agents it can access** when you allow access.
- Automations can't be deleted through the AI app, only paused. So an automation won't get deleted by accident.
- A post that's **published right away** can't be cancelled. If you're unsure, ask the AI app to save it as a draft first.
- You can revoke access at any time. See [Check & Revoke Access](/dashboard/mcp/kelola-akses).

## FAQ

**Can I use another AI app?**
The MCP page has steps for Claude, ChatGPT, and Claude Code. Apps on your computer that support MCP with OAuth sign-in, such as Cursor, can use the same MCP server URL. Web-based AI apps other than Claude and ChatGPT don't work yet.

**Is my team connected too?**
No. An MCP connection only applies to the dibales.ai account that allowed it. Team members who want to use MCP need to connect their own AI app.

**What if the AI app misunderstands my request?**
Check the result in the dashboard. Posts can be edited or cancelled in [Manage Posts](/dashboard/jadwal-post/kelola-post), and automations can be paused or deleted in [Manage Automations](/dashboard/instagram/comment-to-dm/kelola-automation).
