Do I need a Threads API key?

No. BuzzTake signs in to your Threads account the way a person does, so there is no developer app, API key or app review.

Can my AI agent use Threads through MCP?

Yes. Add the BuzzTake MCP server to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client. Each Threads action is a tool, such as post, reply or like.

What does a Threads action cost?

A post is 10 credits ($0.10), a reply 8, a like or a follow 3, and a read 4. One credit is one US cent.

Threads API for AI agents

Automate Threads with MCP

Ask in plain words. Your agent makes the call and gets the link back.

Text with images or a video, and multi-part threads through `thread[]`.

MCP tool call

post

// You: "Post a short thread on Threads."
// The agent calls the post tool:
{
  "account_id": "acc_threads",
  "text": "Three things we learned this week.",
  "thread": [
    "One.",
    "Two.",
    "Three."
  ]
}

REST

POST /v1/accounts/acc_threads/actions

curl https://api.buzztake.com/v1/accounts/acc_threads/actions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BUZZTAKE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type":"post","text":"Three things we learned this week.","thread":["One.","Two.","Three."],"wait":60}'
