# Use cases

> Common ways developers and AI agents use the SocialAPI.ai unified social media API: unified inbox, management, publishing, and AI agents.

SocialAPI.ai is one REST API and MCP server across every social network. Here are the four most common ways teams use it.

## Unified inbox

Read and respond to comments, DMs, mentions, and reviews across platforms via one endpoint that returns the same `Interaction` schema, so your inbox logic is written once.

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.social-api.ai/v1/inbox/conversations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCAPI_KEY"
```

See the [Unified Inbox API](https://social-api.ai/solutions/unified-inbox-api) overview.

## Social media management

Schedule posts, moderate comments, and reply to DMs across networks from one API, without per-platform glue code.

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.social-api.ai/v1/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCAPI_KEY"
```

See the [Social Media Management API](https://social-api.ai/solutions/social-media-management-api) overview.

## Content publishing

Publish and schedule photos, videos, carousels, stories, and reels across networks via one endpoint, with per-platform delivery status.

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.social-api.ai/v1/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCAPI_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "Hello from SocialAPI!",
    "publish_now": true,
    "targets": [{ "account_id": "acc_01HZ9X3Q4R5M6N7P8V2K0W1J" }]
  }'
```

See the [Content Publishing API](https://social-api.ai/solutions/content-publishing-api) overview and the [Posts](/posts/overview) reference.

## AI agents (MCP)

Every capability is a typed Model Context Protocol tool, so agents in Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor manage social media with no platform-specific code.
