AI agents struggle with social media API integration, MCP offers unified solution

Integrating AI agents with social media platforms presents significant challenges beyond content generation, primarily due to the complex and varied nature of platform APIs. Developers face difficulties with authentication, media uploads, rate limits, and scheduling across different networks like LinkedIn, X, and Facebook.
