# Schedule Social Media Posts with OpenClaw

OpenClaw (open-source agent by OpenClaw)

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

Connect your OpenClaw gateway to LotsSocial through remote MCP. Ask for drafts or scheduled posts from your connected conversation, while LotsSocial handles the social accounts and publishing queue.

Example workflow: Turn this product update into LinkedIn and X drafts. Show me both versions. After I approve, schedule them for tomorrow at 9am in my timezone.

**Connect the gateway that runs your agent.** Add the LotsSocial HTTP MCP server in OpenClaw’s Control UI or with the OpenClaw MCP command. Configure the installation that owns your active agent.

**Verify account access.** Complete OAuth and run a connection probe. Ask OpenClaw to list your accounts; request a browser connection link for any missing network.

**Keep routines in OpenClaw.** If you want a weekly drafting task, manage its recurrence in OpenClaw. LotsSocial saves the resulting drafts and publishes only posts given a schedule.

### How do I connect OpenClaw to LotsSocial?

Follow the OpenClaw 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 install a LotsSocial skill or CLI?

The route here uses OpenClaw’s native remote MCP client. There is no LotsSocial CLI or ClawHub skill to install. The REST API is also available for a custom workflow.

### Which social platforms can OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw?

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 OpenClaw?

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 OpenClaw 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.

### An Authorization header is ignored

With OAuth on, OpenClaw ignores static headers by design. Use the sign-in instead.

Needs:
- OpenClaw with the Control UI or CLI

Steps:

3. **Sign in.** Run this, or use the sign-in button in the Control UI.
