ViralFarm

Your agentic social media scheduler: plan and publish to every channel from one calendar, or let your AI agent schedule for you.

ViralFarm is your agentic social media scheduler built for creators and small teams. Schedule and publish to TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Threads, Facebook, YouTube and X, plus blog posts to WordPress, from one calendar and queue. Write once and tailor the caption for each channel, bulk-schedule a week of posts in one go, publish now or save drafts, and post every format that matters: Reels, Stories, carousels, Shorts, Instagram trial reels, TikTok drafts and long posts for X Premium accounts. When the queue runs low, ViralFarm can fill it with slideshows, carousels and pins built on templates modeled after posts that went viral.

What sets ViralFarm apart is that it is built for AI agents. Its MCP server and REST API let Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf and any MCP client schedule and publish for you on autopilot: upload your photos and videos, post them across every channel on a schedule you describe in plain words, or run one of the preset viral templates to create the post first. Agent access is included on every plan, even Free, and posts your agent writes use no ViralFarm credits.

Best for: Creators, founders and small teams who want one calendar for every channel, run by hand or by their AI agent
