# Influence

> Influence is a social media management tool for planning campaigns, writing posts and scheduling content. Write AI drafts using your saved brand voice and create images with Influence IQ. Review posts in Influence, then schedule approved content across connected channels, including WhatsApp Business. Check delivery status and read saved account and post results in Insights.

Influence is a hosted service. An account, workspace permissions and eligible connected accounts are required. The MCP endpoint is https://influence.so/api/mcp and requires OAuth or a scoped bearer key. Tool availability depends on permissions and enabled features. Never provide a secret in chat or include one in a URL.

Publishing and schedule changes require an exact review and fresh approval. Image posts require signed-in visual review. Accepted or scheduled work is not yet published. Preserve the original request ID after an uncertain outcome.
