Your best posts already know what you should make next. Metricool pulls in your numbers from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn and more. Its official connector lets Claude read them, so you can ask questions in plain English and get answers from your real results.

It works for your business, your personal brand, or a client’s account.

What You Need
  1. A Metricool account. The connector works on every Metricool plan, including Free. The free plan keeps 30 days of analytics, so this guide uses the last 30 days.
  2. Claude on any plan. On Claude’s free plan, Metricool says you can use one connector at a time. (Plan details)
  3. Interactive dashboards switched on. In Claude, go to Settings, then Capabilities, and turn on Code execution and file creation.
Set It Up In 3 Steps

01

Connect your social accounts to Metricool

Sign up and connect the accounts you want to look at, like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads or Pinterest.

02

Connect Metricool to Claude

  1. In Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, and click the +.
  2. Search for Metricool and click Connect.
  3. Sign in to Metricool, review the permissions and click Grant access.
  4. Check that Metricool shows as connected.

Shortcut: open Metricool in Claude’s connector directory and click Connect to Claude. It works on the web, desktop and mobile once connected. (Metricool’s setup guide)

03

Turn it on in your chat

Start a new chat, click the + at the bottom-left of the message box, hover over Connectors and make sure Metricool is switched on. For the dashboard, pick a stronger model like Opus 5.5 from the model menu next to the send button.

Build Your Dashboard

Paste this into the chat. Claude pulls your last 30 days, finds your strongest posts and what they have in common, and builds an interactive dashboard with ideas for what to post next.

Paste This Into Claude
Use my Metricool connection to turn my last 30 days of posts into an interactive dashboard showing my strongest posts and what they have in common. Rank my posts by saves and shares, not just views. Group my posts by topic and show which topics get the most saves and shares. Then point out what my best posts have in common, like the hook, the format or the day I posted. End with 3 ideas for what I should post next based on the patterns, each with a hook for the first 3 seconds. Only use my real numbers. Match the branding of [your website or inspo link].
Then Ask It What To Post Next

01

Which topics get saved and shared

Find Your Best Topics
Which topics do people keep saving or sharing? Rank my topics by average saves and shares per 1,000 people reached. For the top 2, show me the posts behind them, their numbers, and what the captions have in common.

02

Three fresh angles on a winner

Build On What Works
People keep saving my posts about [topic]. Give me 3 fresh ways to build on that. Not repeats. For each one, give me the angle, a hook for the first 3 seconds, the format, and which of my past posts it builds on and why you think it will work.

03

What your weakest posts have in common

Stop Doing This
Look at my 5 weakest posts by saves and shares per 1,000 reached. What do they have in common that my strongest posts don't? Give me 3 things to stop doing, each backed by the posts that show it.

04

When to post

Best Time To Post
Use Metricool's best time to post for [Instagram or TikTok] for next week, in my brand's time zone. Give me the 3 best time slots and the post idea you'd put in each one.

05

Send a post to Metricool for review

The connector can also create posts in Metricool for you to approve. Nothing goes live until you say so.

Draft It In Metricool
Turn idea #[number] into a ready-to-post caption in my voice. Then create it as a post for review in Metricool for [network] at the best time next week. Don't publish anything. I'll approve it in Metricool.
Run It Every Month

Make a Claude Project called "Social Strategist," paste the dashboard prompt into the project instructions, and run it on the first of every month. Managing a client’s account? Connect their accounts in Metricool too, then tell Claude whose posts to look at.

  1. Use it once. Paste the dashboard prompt into a new chat in Claude or ChatGPT, fill in the [brackets], and send. Make sure Metricool is switched on in that chat.
  2. Keep it. In Claude, make a Project, click Set project instructions, paste it in and save. Every chat in that Project starts with it. In ChatGPT, do the same with a Project’s instructions.
