# Update Post: Bolta MCP tool

Source: https://bolta.ai/integrations/openclaw/tools/update-post
Last updated: 2026-07-13

Modify an existing post's content, media, schedule, or platform targeting. Only works on posts that have not yet been published.

## Summary

Update Post is a Bolta MCP tool in the Posts category. An MCP client such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or OpenClaw can call it once the workspace API key is connected.

## Who this is for

- Developers building on the Bolta MCP server
- Teams automating Bolta from an AI assistant

## Core capabilities

- Edit a scheduled post before it goes live
- Change the publish time of a queued post
- Update post copy after a review round

## Limitations and boundaries

- Every call runs with the permissions of the connected Bolta API key and is scoped to that workspace.
- Tool availability depends on the current Bolta plan, connected networks, and account permissions.
- Tool names and parameters can change; confirm the current schema against the live MCP server before shipping an automation.

## Example prompts

"Update my scheduled LinkedIn post with new copy" "Change the publish time of tomorrow's post to 10am" "Edit the hashtags on my pending Instagram post"
