Can you publish social media posts straight from your AI assistant? Yes — from Claude, Grok, Kimi or Cursor
Yes. AutomateSocials is an MCP server you can add as a connector in Claude, Grok, Kimi or Cursor, then brief in the chat. The assistant writes the posts and they are published or scheduled to Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube after you approve. Writing, scheduling and publishing are free.
Which assistants work today
Start in AutomateSocials: open Project setup → API keys & MCP and create a key. The MCP endpoint is https://automatesocials.net/mcp. One key belongs to one project. Facts from the Claude, Grok and Kimi help pages, read 10 Nov 2026.
| Assistant | Where you add it | What you paste | Plan required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude (claude.ai / Desktop) | Customize → Connectors → "+" → Add custom connector | URL with the key at the end (https://automatesocials.net/mcp/sk_live_...) | Free, Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors |
| Grok (grok.com) | Connectors → New Connector → Custom | The same URL style, key at the end | Grok's paid plans. On Business and Enterprise a team admin may have to add it first |
| Cursor / Grok Bot | The agent's secure add flow, or Cursor's MCP settings | https://automatesocials.net/mcp plus header x-api-key | Not stated on the help page |
| Kimi Code | kimi mcp add --transport http, or mcp.json | The same URL plus the x-api-key header | Not stated on the help page |
| Kimi Work (desktop) | Its own mcp.json, edited by hand | The same URL and header; transport must be http | Not stated on the help page |
| kimi.com chat | — | We have not confirmed a way to add your own MCP server by URL | — |
Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)
- Create a key and copy the connector URL shown under "claude.ai and Claude Desktop".
- In Claude, go to Customize → Connectors → "+" → Add custom connector.
- Paste the URL, leave the advanced OAuth fields empty, and click Add.
- In a chat, enable the connector and say what you want.
Treat that URL like a password. If it leaks, revoke the key under Project setup → API keys & MCP; the URL stops working at once. Steps: Inside claude.ai and Claude Desktop.
Grok (grok.com) and Cursor / Grok Bot
On grok.com, paste the connector URL under Connectors → New Connector → Custom. It needs no other sign-in. Custom connectors are on Grok's paid plans; on Grok Business and Enterprise a team admin may have to add the connector first.
In Cursor or Grok Bot, give the key through the agent's secure secret field — do not paste sk_live_ keys into the normal chat, and do not put the key at the end of the URL. The agent adds a remote MCP server at https://automatesocials.net/mcp with the header x-api-key. A longer walk-through is in AutomateSocials in Grok.
Kimi Code and Kimi Work
Add AutomateSocials as a remote HTTP server with the key in the x-api-key header. In Kimi Code, run kimi mcp add --transport http with that header and the URL https://automatesocials.net/mcp, or add the same server to mcp.json.
Kimi Work reads its own mcp.json: edit it by hand and keep "transport": "http" exactly as written. In the kimi.com browser chat we have not confirmed a way to add your own MCP server by URL, so use Kimi Code or Kimi Work. Commands and paths: Inside Kimi.

What you can do from the chat
Once connected, brief your assistant in plain words. It can write a version for each network from your website, profile and knowledge base, make pictures and short videos, schedule a post, and publish to Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube after you approve.
A good first question is "Which accounts are connected?" Then ask it to write a post and save it as a draft; it appears under Drafts in the app.
On 20 October 2026 we did this from Claude on our own project: one draft post with one Nano Banana picture. Claude asked before spending the 1 credit and saved draft #58. Nothing was published or scheduled. If another agent already writes your posts, connect AutomateSocials just to publish.
Keep your key safe
One key belongs to one project, so a second brand needs a second connector. Treat the URL and the sk_live_… key as a password, and do not paste them into a chat or a shared file. If a key leaks, revoke it under Project setup → API keys & MCP; the old URL stops working at once.
What it costs
The connector uses the same credits as the web app. Writing, scheduling and publishing are free, except an X post, which costs 1 credit, or 8 with a link. A picture costs 1, 3 or 6 credits depending on the model; short videos with sound start at 1 credit. Credits also pay for reading other feeds. There is no subscription: you get 50 free credits when you confirm your email, and credits never expire. See Credits and pricing and Is there a social media tool with no monthly subscription?.

Does it work in Cursor or Kimi?

Do I need a paid plan of the assistant?
Claude's custom connector is available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans. Grok's custom connectors are on Grok's paid plans. Kimi's help page does not list a plan requirement.
Does the assistant publish without asking?
When you work through Claude, the assistant confirms before a tool that writes runs, and the server tells it which tools publish or cost credits, so it can quote and ask first. Review your assistant's connector permissions so they match how you want to approve.
