Approve the copy, add the media you want and ask Grok Build to schedule it. LotsSocial manages the social delivery.

What can Grok Build do with LotsSocial?

With a compatible connection, your agent can save drafts, schedule posts with images or video, manage connected accounts and retrieve available analytics. LotsSocial handles the publishing schedule; your agent supplies the content and instructions.

Supported networks: LinkedIn, Instagram, X, Google Business, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Threads, TikTok, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon. Platform-specific formats and media requirements still apply.

You need

  • Grok Build with remote MCP support
  • A LotsSocial account, which is created when you first sign in. No card required.

Connect Grok Build to LotsSocial

  1. 1

    Add LotsSocial

    Add the remote HTTP server from your terminal.

    grok mcp add --transport http lotssocial https://api.lots.social/mcp
  2. 2

    Sign in

    Grok Build starts a browser sign-in for servers that use OAuth on first use. Complete LotsSocial sign-in; /mcps also offers authentication.

  3. 3

    Check the tools

    Ask your agent to list your connected social accounts before asking it to create a draft.

What to ask next

  • “List my connected social accounts”
  • “Draft a launch post for LinkedIn and X; save both as drafts for me to review”

Once connected, when you ask to connect an account, your agent gives you a link to open in your browser. Approve access on the network’s own page; the link works for an hour.

Questions

Grok Build social media scheduling FAQ

How do I connect Grok Build to LotsSocial?
Follow the Grok Build setup below to add https://api.lots.social/mcp. Complete sign-in using the authentication method shown. Ask your agent to list your connected accounts, then save your first post as a draft.
Does this install the Grok Bot plugin?
No. Grok Build and Grok Bot are different surfaces. This setup configures Grok Build’s MCP client directly and needs no LotsSocial plugin.
Which social platforms can Grok Build schedule posts to through LotsSocial?
Once a compatible connection has write access, LotsSocial provides publishing and scheduling for 12 networks: LinkedIn, Instagram, X, Google Business, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Threads, TikTok, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon. Connect your accounts first. Formats, media requirements and available analytics vary by platform.
Can Grok Build save social posts as drafts before scheduling?
Yes, through a compatible connection with write tools. Ask for drafts explicitly and review the captions, media and accounts. Drafts remain unscheduled until you ask to schedule them; you choose when to schedule them.
Will scheduled posts publish after I close Grok Build?
Once a post is successfully scheduled in LotsSocial, its publishing queue handles delivery at the chosen time even when your agent is closed. Creating new drafts or running a recurring brief still requires your agent. Check post status for platform rejections or failed deliveries.
Do I need a subscription to use LotsSocial with Grok Build?
No LotsSocial subscription is required. Pick a plan for a fixed monthly price, or pay per connected account with credits, charged daily. Eligible new users receive free starter credits with no card required, valid for 90 days. Media storage is free and purchased credits never expire. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate. Current rates are on the LotsSocial pricing page.
Can Grok Build manage multiple brands with LotsSocial?
Through a compatible connection, your agent can work with brands and their connected accounts inside a workspace. Separate businesses can have separate workspaces. Brands, workspaces, posts and team members are unlimited; connected accounts are covered by your plan or funded with credits.
