# Schedule Social Media Posts with Manus

Manus (always-on agent by Manus)

Guide: https://lots.social/agents/manus

Connect LotsSocial as a custom MCP server in Manus. Use the output of your research and writing tasks to prepare drafts and a posting schedule across your social accounts.

Example workflow: Use this approved report to write four LinkedIn drafts. Save them in LotsSocial and return a list for me to review.

**Finish the source material.** Choose the report or content Manus should repurpose. Tell it which findings are approved for public use.

**Add the custom MCP connection.** Manus documents custom servers in its integration settings. Add LotsSocial, authenticate and confirm it can list your accounts.

**Turn drafts into a schedule.** Review the versions and choose the publication dates. LotsSocial handles the scheduled delivery and exposes available analytics afterward.

### How do I connect Manus to LotsSocial?

Follow the Manus 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.

### Do I choose LotsSocial from Manus’s official connector list?

The route here is a custom MCP server. Add LotsSocial as a custom server in Manus connector settings and authenticate with your LotsSocial account or API key.

### Which social platforms can Manus 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 Manus 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 Manus?

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.

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.

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.
