Connect ChatGPT to Postly

  1. Connect publishing channels in Postly and select the workspace for your assistant. Check API access in your plan.
  2. Choose Postly in ChatGPT Apps, connect it, and authorize on Postly. Manual MCP setup is also available.
  3. Use https://mcp.postly.ai/sse. When OAuth is offered, enter your key only on the Postly authorization page. For API-key clients, use Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key> in connection settings.
  4. Start a fresh session, enable Postly tools, and verify your workspace and channels with the read-only task below.

Confirm your first successful connection

List my Postly workspaces and connected publishing channels. Show the workspace and destination names. Do not create, schedule, or publish anything.

Match the result to your intended brand. Check API activity for a successful request, then try a publishing workflow.

Publishing workflows for ChatGPT

ChatGPT is where many marketing ideas start. Postly gives those conversations a secure execution layer so prompts can become reviewed posts, scheduled campaigns, analytics summaries, and reusable workflows.

Ask ChatGPT for a 30-day content calendar and reuse the approved brief with your assistant.

Try: “Create a launch campaign for this feature and schedule the approved posts in Postly.”

Generate platform-specific drafts for LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, Google Business Profile, and email.

Try: “Analyze last month across my connected channels and give me the five moves to make next.”

Review publishing activity and turn analytics into next-best-action recommendations.

Try: “Repurpose this blog post into a LinkedIn post, X thread, Instagram caption, and newsletter blurb.”

Before a write action, confirm content, media, workspace, destinations, date, time, and timezone. Use team approvals where required. Keep the returned post ID and inspect its destination status; accepted or scheduled does not mean published.

Scheduled agent runs depend on your assistant’s orchestration. For recurring source-based publishing, use Auto Post. Your editor and calendar remain available throughout.

Connection and publishing help

No Postly tools appear

Check the endpoint and connection method, enable the tools, and start a fresh session. Client plans and administrator settings can affect custom MCP access.

The workspace or channel is missing

Check the allowed workspace named in the error. Use its workspace ID, switch to the correct API key, or edit Workspace access in API keys. Reconnect a channel if its provider authorization expired.

An accepted request has not published

Retrieve the Postly post ID and inspect the schedule, approval state, and destination results. Resolve the specific validation or provider error before retrying.

How do I stop the connection?

Disable the client connection and revoke its API key in Postly. Review scheduled posts separately; revoking a key does not cancel already accepted publishing work.
