Manus Integration

Connect Manus (autonomous web agent) to Publora and let it schedule and publish across your social platforms.

Publora ships as a published connector in Manus' own directory — there is no config file to edit and nothing to install.

Prerequisites

  • A Manus account, signed in
  • A Publora account with an API key (starts with sk_) — create one on the API page in your dashboard
  • At least one social account connected in Publora

Do this on a desktop browser. The setup asks you to move an API key from Publora into Manus. On a phone the key often does not survive the switch between apps, which is the most common reason the connection is never finished.

Connect

1. Copy your API key first. Manus asks for it the moment you press Connect, so having it on the clipboard saves a trip back.

2. Open the Publora connector in Manus.

  • Direct link: Publora in Manus (sign in to Manus first — the link only resolves for a signed-in session)
  • Or manually: Settings → Connectors → Browse Connectors, open the Apps tab and search for Publora, then press +

3. Authorize. Press Connect, paste the key, then press Connect again.

Paste the bare key (sk_...) — do not prefix it with Bearer. The field's placeholder may show Bearer sk_YOUR_API_KEY, but the connector adds the scheme itself.

Some Manus builds offer Publora's OAuth sign-in instead of a key field. If a Publora page opens saying "An application is requesting access to your Publora account", just press Approve — no key is needed, and Publora mints a dedicated key for the connector that you can revoke on the API page.

4. Verify. The Connect button turns into Try it out once Manus accepts the credential.

Using with Manus

Talk to Manus normally — it calls Publora's MCP tools on its own:

"Check my Publora connection and list any channels you find."
"Draft a LinkedIn post about our launch and schedule it for tomorrow 9am UTC."
"What Publora posts are scheduled this week?"
"Post this update to LinkedIn and Threads at the same time."

Ask for the channel list first: Publora identifies targets by platformId (for example linkedin-abc123), and Manus needs to read those before it can schedule anything.

Troubleshooting

The direct link does nothing. You are signed out of Manus. Sign in, then reopen the link — or reach the connector through Settings → Connectors → Browse Connectors → Apps.

Publora is not in the composer's connector dropdown. The dropdown lists only connectors you have already added. Add Publora from Browse Connectors first.

"Connect" fails or the tools return 401. The key was pasted with a Bearer prefix, has a stray space, or was truncated by the copy. Copy it again from the API page and retry; if the key was created a while ago and you cannot see its value any more, create a new one.

The key is gone before you can paste it. Publora shows a key's value once. Create a fresh key on the API page, keep the tab open, and paste it into Manus in the same sitting.
