# Market your app with reels without leaving Claude.

> Motion Reel lets app founders post marketing reels from the same place they build. Connect Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, ask it to schedule a video to Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and send your download link to anyone who comments.

## What it does for a small app.

- **Post from your editor:** Connect Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Ask it to upload a video and schedule it.
- **Your link, where captions can't:** Instagram captions can't hold a clickable link. A keyword comment gets people your App Store link by DM.
- **Test an angle:** Post a trial reel to non-followers before your followers see it.
- **Results in the same chat:** Ask how your last reels did, without opening three apps.
- **Script it:** A REST API has the same actions, if you'd rather schedule from your own code.
- **You stay in charge:** Every change comes back as a preview, and nothing happens until you say yes.

## How it works

1. **Connect your agent.** One command in Claude Code or Codex, or a key in Cursor.
2. **Connect your accounts.** In the dashboard, on each platform's own login screen.
3. **Ask in plain words.** Your agent shows you a preview. Nothing changes until you say yes.

## What to ask your agent

- "Schedule demo-3.mp4 to Instagram, TikTok and YouTube on Thursday at 6 pm."
- "DM the App Store link to anyone who comments APP on that reel."
- "How did this week's reels do?"
- "Send demo-4.mp4 to my TikTok as a draft."

## What it won't do

- **Track installs:** Motion Reel doesn't count clicks or installs from a DM link. Use your store's own numbers.
- **Run ads:** It posts organic reels only.
- **Make the video:** You bring a finished file.

## Questions

### Can Claude Code post my app's reels?

Yes. Add Motion Reel as an MCP server, connect your accounts in the dashboard, and ask Claude Code to schedule a video. It shows you a preview first.

### How do I send an App Store link from a reel?

Say a keyword in the reel and set up comment-to-DM. Everyone who comments it on Instagram gets your link by DM.

### Does it track installs?

No. It shows which reels did best and what DMs went out. For installs, use your store's own numbers.

### Can I call it from my own code?

Yes. The same actions are in a REST API, with an API key from the dashboard.

### Is it safe to let an agent post?

Every change comes back as a preview, and Motion Reel tells your agent to show it to you and wait for your yes. A read-only key can't change anything.

### Do I need an AI agent?

No. Everything works from the dashboard. If you do use an agent, it can do the same things.
