Example workflow

Paperclip + LotsSocial

“Prepare this week’s launch posts from the approved changelog. Use LotsSocial to save LinkedIn and X drafts and report their IDs for review.”

A task deliverable with saved post IDs, rather than copy left in a report.

An assigned task ends with drafts in the calendar

01

Choose the agent that owns the task

Configure the publishing connection for the runtime executing that agent’s work. Bind the LotsSocial tool profile to the agent responsible for your social media.

02

Connect MCP or the REST API

Add the remote HTTP connection in Tools & Access, attach a company secret for authentication and refresh its tool catalog. Bind an allowed tool profile to your social agent.

03

Return reviewable evidence

Ask the agent to report draft IDs and the accounts selected. Approve the schedule as a separate task so the publishing handoff is explicit.

What can Paperclip 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

  • Paperclip with the managed MCP gateway and Tools & Access enabled
  • Company administrator access to tools and agent profiles
  • A LotsSocial API key
  • A LotsSocial account, which is created when you first sign in. No card required.

Connect Paperclip to LotsSocial

  1. 1

    Create the LotsSocial connection

    In your company’s Tools & Access, create a LotsSocial application and a remote HTTP connection. Use the hosted MCP URL below.

    https://api.lots.social/mcp
  2. 2

    Store the key as a secret

    Create a key in the Lots API dashboard and save it as a Paperclip company secret. Attach a credential reference to the connection: header Authorization, prefix Bearer followed by a space. Keep the key out of plain connection configuration.

  3. 3

    Check the connection and load its tools

    Run the connection health check and refresh its tool catalog. Enable the connection, review the discovered tools and approve the actions you want your agent to perform.

  4. 4

    Assign access to your social agent

    Create a tool profile containing the LotsSocial tools you need and bind it to the responsible agent. Ask that agent to list accounts and save a draft before giving it the publication schedule.

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.

If something goes wrong

My agent cannot see LotsSocial tools
Check the connection is enabled, its tool catalog is refreshed, the required tools are allowed in a profile and that profile is bound to your agent.

Official setup documentation: Paperclip: managed MCP gateway and access setup.

MCP or REST API: use the connection your agent supports.

The remote MCP endpoint is shared. For scripts or an agent with HTTP tools, use the REST API and an API key.

Questions

Paperclip social media scheduling FAQ

How do I connect Paperclip to LotsSocial?
Follow the Paperclip setup below to add https://api.lots.social/mcp. Configure your LotsSocial API key using the credential settings shown. Ask your agent to list your connected accounts, then save your first post as a draft.
Does adding Paperclip’s MCP server also add LotsSocial?
No. The two servers expose different tools. LotsSocial must be connected to the agent runtime or called through its REST API.
Which social platforms can Paperclip 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 Paperclip 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 Paperclip?
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 Paperclip?
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 Paperclip 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.
My agent cannot see LotsSocial tools
Check the connection is enabled, its tool catalog is refreshed, the required tools are allowed in a profile and that profile is bound to your agent.
