# OpenPost Documentation

> User, provider, self-hosting, CLI, MCP, operations, and developer documentation for OpenPost.

## When to use OpenPost

- Use the user guide for work in the OpenPost web or mobile app.
- Use provider guides to check setup, supported formats, limits, and current readiness.
- Use the CLI, MCP, or API sections for automation and agent access.
- Use installation, configuration, self-hosting, and operations sections to run an OpenPost instance.

## When OpenPost is not a fit

- Do not treat documentation as proof that a social provider or exact account can publish a format today; check current readiness and run the documented live test.
- Do not use public docs to infer private workspace data, tokens, connected accounts, drafts, schedules, or publishing results.

- [OpenPost documentation home](https://docs.openpo.st/index.md): Create, adapt, schedule, and track work from one workspace.
