CrewAI

CrewAI agents can load tools from MCP servers, so a crew can use Reelspan's hosted MCP server to publish, schedule and read results. There is no separate Reelspan package to install.

Install

pip install crewai mcp

API key

Create a key under Developers → API keys and export it, along with the key for the model your agents use. Start with a test key (rs_test_…): every check runs, but nothing is posted.

export REELSPAN_API_KEY=rs_test_...

Example

This crew publishes a text post to the sandbox network, which needs no connected account, and then checks the result.

import os

from crewai import Agent, Crew, Task
from crewai.mcp import MCPServerHTTP

reelspan = MCPServerHTTP(
    url="https://api.reelspan.com/mcp",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['REELSPAN_API_KEY']}"},
    cache_tools_list=True,
)

publisher = Agent(
    role="Social media publisher",
    goal="Publish posts with Reelspan and confirm they went out",
    backstory="You manage the brand's social accounts through Reelspan.",
    mcps=[reelspan],
)

task = Task(
    description="Publish 'Hello from my CrewAI agent' as a text post to the sandbox network for the profile my-brand, "
    "then check its status.",
    expected_output="The request_id and each network's result.",
    agent=publisher,
)

print(Crew(agents=[publisher], tasks=[task]).kickoff())

Replace my-brand with one of your profiles (the agent can find them with list_profiles).

Notes

• Posting runs in the background. The publish tools return a request_id; the agent calls upload_status to read each network's result.
• Media goes in as URLs. upload_video and upload_photos take public https URLs, not local files.
• Scope the key. The agents can do whatever the key allows. A key with only Publish and Read can't create or delete profiles.
• Going live: swap the test key for a live one (rs_live_…) and use real networks instead of sandbox.
