Reality check: You're switching between 8 apps to publish one piece of content. There's a better way.
The Problem with n8n (and Every Workflow Tool)
- Rigid workflows that break when platforms change
- Complex node connections that make no sense after 2 weeks
- Platform hopping that kills your creative flow
- Time spent configuring instead of creating
Sound familiar?
The Solution: One Environment, Infinite Possibilities
Here's what I do now with Cursor + Claude Code + MCPs:
- "Research trending AI topics on YouTube" → Done in 30 seconds
- "Generate thumbnail for this video" → AI creates it instantly
- "Write script and upload to YouTube" → Published in one command
- "Cross-post to TikTok with platform optimization" → Automated
All from one place. All in natural language. All without leaving my coding environment.
The MCPs That Actually Matter
YouTube MCP → Upload, optimize, analyze (no YouTube Studio needed)TikTok MCP → Smart cross-platform postingReplicate MCP → AI thumbnails that convert
No technical background required. If you can copy-paste, you can do this.
What You Get
- 10+ hours back per week (real time savings)
- End platform switching forever (one workspace for everything)
- Natural language automation (no more node hell)
- Flexible workflows that adapt with you
