BetterPost glossary

This glossary defines the terminology used across BetterPost — in the app, in these docs, and in the tools your agent calls. Terms are listed alphabetically.

Credits

The unit of billing. Each generation spends credits. New accounts start with 100 free credits; after that you buy more as you go. There is no subscription — you pay only for what you use.

Free credits

What a new account starts with. Sign in with your BetterPost account and you get 100 free credits to try it out — enough for your first drafts before you buy more. Your projects and drafts stay linked to your account automatically.

Draft

A generated post — a newsletter, blog article, LinkedIn update, or social thread. Every draft is grounded in dated sources and written to sound like a person wrote it.

Generation

A single request that turns a topic or project into a finished draft. A generation finds sources, keeps what's recent and relevant, ranks it, and writes the post in one on-demand pass.

MCP server

The connection point for agents. BetterPost is exposed as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server over Streamable HTTP, so any MCP-capable client — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, VS Code, and others — can call it directly.

Project

A saved workspace for a recurring topic, product, or audience. A project remembers your voice, instructions, and audience so repeat generations stay on brand.

Relevance

How closely a source matches your topic and audience. BetterPost ranks candidate sources by relevance and keeps only the most relevant, recent ones so a draft is built from material worth citing.

Source

A dated piece of material — from news, social, or the open web — used to ground a draft. Every source in a draft comes with a link you can check.

Voice

The way your writing sounds. BetterPost learns your voice from your instructions and past posts so drafts read like you, not like a template.
