# Post to Social Media from Grok Build

Grok Build (coding agent by xAI)

Guide: https://lots.social/agents/grok-build

Connect Grok Build’s native MCP client to LotsSocial. Use the repository context to write the announcement, then save drafts or assign a schedule from the same terminal session.

Example workflow: Use this release diff to explain the new export feature. Save a LinkedIn draft and an X draft in LotsSocial for review.

**Use Grok Build’s HTTP MCP client.** Add LotsSocial using grok mcp add. Browser OAuth handles sign-in; the MCP doctor command can diagnose connection failures.

**Write from the change.** Ask Grok Build to explain the user-visible improvement and avoid announcing unfinished behavior.

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

### 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.

### LotsSocial tools are not available

Check that LotsSocial is enabled for this session and authentication has completed. Reload the connection or start a new session to refresh its tools.
