What did people reply to our launch post?
Mastodon connects Memtro to one account on its own server. It reads the home timeline, an account's posts, a hashtag timeline, and one post with its thread. It also searches accounts, hashtags and posts, and reads notifications and scheduled posts. When asked and granted, it can publish, schedule, edit and delete posts, favourite, boost, bookmark and pin them, follow or unfollow accounts, set private notes and dismiss notifications. Posts publish publicly under the account's name and federate to other servers, where a deletion may not reach every copy. Notifications show who did what, not the post text.
Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Mastodon tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.
These tools change something in Mastodon. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
Once Mastodon is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

Tom Reilly, marketing lead at Northwind, asked Memtro to schedule a post announcing Thursday's webinar. With the action granted, Memtro scheduled it on the company account. It published publicly at the set time and federated to followers on other servers.
The teams that lean on Mastodon most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.
A record in Mastodon is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.
Using something else for the same job, or both? Each connector has its own tools; connect as many as you like.
On your Mastodon server, open Preferences → Development → New application, name it Memtro, and tick only the read and write scopes for the actions you will grant.
In Memtro, open Connections → Mastodon and enter the Server host name and the Access token.
An administrator grants the actions by name, such as Publish or schedule a post, to the teams that may use them.
Ask "What did people reply to our launch post?"
Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Mastodon tools are the same everywhere.
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: publish or schedule a post, or reply to one; edit one of your posts; delete one of your posts; cancel a scheduled post; favourite a post, or undo it; boost a post, or undo it; bookmark a post, or remove the bookmark; pin one of your posts to your profile, or unpin it; follow an account, or unfollow it; set a private note on an account; dismiss a notification. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.
Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.
Server and access token. On your Mastodon server, open Preferences → Development → New application, name it Memtro, and tick only the read and write scopes for the actions you will grant.
