Do I need a Pinterest API key?

No. BuzzTake signs in to your Pinterest account the way a person does, so there is no developer app, API key or app review.

Can my AI agent use Pinterest through MCP?

Yes. Add the BuzzTake MCP server to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client. Each Pinterest action is a tool, such as post, reply or send_message.

What does a Pinterest action cost?

A post is 10 credits ($0.10), a reply 8, a like or a follow 3, and a read 4. One credit is one US cent.

Pinterest API for AI agents

Connect your Pinterest account once. Your agent posts, replies, likes and follows, and sends DMs through MCP or REST. No Pinterest API key and no app review.

Automate Pinterest with MCP

Ask in plain words. Your agent makes the call and gets the link back.

// The agent calls the post tool:

  "title": "Spring lookbook",
  "media": [
    "med_look"
  ],
  "link": "https://acme.example/spring",
  "destination": "Spring"
}
