About this plugin
Social Engine is the self-hosted social media scheduler for WordPress. Connect directly to X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Mastodon—no middleman, no monthly fees, complete control.
Unlike Buffer, Hootsuite, or Later, Social Engine runs entirely on your WordPress site. Your data stays yours, your connections are permanent, and there’s no monthly subscription. Set it up once (15-30 minutes per platform), then enjoy unlimited scheduling forever.
Stop paying for features you already own! 🚀
Social Engine implements full MCP support for AI-powered social media automation. Visit our official site and check out the docs to get started.
