Buffer MCP connector

Buffer is a social media management platform for marketers and agencies, enabling scheduling and publishing of social media content. The Buffer MCP connector allows AI agents to schedule and reorder updates, manage posting schedules across profiles, and retrieve pending or sent content. It also supports shuffling queued posts, accessing profile configurations, and managing media type extensions for content sharing.
