Grok Bot Integration

View as Markdown

Connect Grok Bot to Publora and let it draft, schedule and publish your social media posts. You connect it once, sign in with your Publora account, and then ask in plain words: "Schedule this for Tuesday at 9am on LinkedIn and Bluesky."

Prerequisites

  • A Publora account with at least one social account connected in the Publora dashboard. Grok Bot posts to the accounts you connected there; it can't connect new ones.
  • Grok Bot with an eligible plan: any paid individual Cursor plan or the Cursor Teams plan, a linked SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy or X Premium+ subscription, a seat on a Grok Business plan, or the Grok Bot free trial.

The free Publora Starter plan works: 3 social accounts and 15 posts a month on every network except X. Posting to X needs the Pro plan.

Connect

1. Ask the bot to add the server. Open a chat with your bot and send:

Add a custom MCP server called Publora at https://mcp.publora.com/mcp

2. Authorize. The bot adds the server and shows a Publora card with an Authorize button. Click it, then click Continue.

3. Sign in to Publora. Your browser opens Publora. Sign in and click Approve.

4. Verify. Back in Grok Bot, the card changes to Publora · 32 tools · Added, and the bot confirms that Publora is connected.

To see it later, open Connect apps in the sidebar and select the connected count next to the title. Publora appears among your installed plugins. An installed plugin is available to every bot on your account.

The sign-in token stays on Grok Bot's connector backend. The bot calls Publora's tools but never receives your password or token.

Ask before publishing

Grok Bot may publish or delete posts without asking first. To keep the final say, open Settings → General, find Bot, and add an Ask first rule under Custom Rules, for example: Ask first before publishing, scheduling or deleting posts in Publora. You can also say it in the request: "Draft it and wait for my approval."

Using with Grok Bot

Start with a request that only reads:

"Which social accounts do I have connected to Publora?"

Then:

"Write a LinkedIn post about our new pricing page and keep it as a draft."
"Schedule that post for Tuesday at 9:00 on LinkedIn and Bluesky."
"Add this photo and post it to Bluesky now."
"What is scheduled for next week?"

A post stays a draft when scheduledTime is omitted and publishNow is omitted or false. Setting publishNow: true publishes immediately, even without a scheduled time. To keep a post unpublished, explicitly ask the bot to save it as a draft.

To check that the bot can call Publora without reaching a real audience, ask it to post to publora-playground. Publora acknowledges the request without saving or publishing a post. This checks connectivity only; it does not verify real social-account access, quotas, scheduling, media processing or platform-specific publishing requirements.

Troubleshooting

A post to Instagram, TikTok or YouTube won't schedule. Instagram and TikTok need an image or video. YouTube requires a video; an image alone won't work. Attach the required media and ask again.

Posting to X fails on the free plan. X is available on the Pro plan.

The bot says Publora is missing or tools stop working. Open Connect apps and find Publora. If it shows Needs auth or Disconnected, choose Authenticate and sign in again. If you deleted Grok Bot's key on the API page of your Publora dashboard, sign in again the same way.

You'd rather use an API key. Use the sign-in above instead. It keeps the token on Grok Bot's connector backend, away from the bot. Never paste a Publora API key into the chat or into the server address; if you already did, delete that key on the API page of your Publora dashboard and create a new one.

localhost doesn't work. Grok Bot works on a cloud computer, so localhost there is not your machine. Use https://mcp.publora.com/mcp.
