Connect ChatGPT
SimplePost is listed in ChatGPT as a plugin (app). Installing it connects ChatGPT to SimplePost's hosted MCP server with OAuth. SimplePost is an independent product; it is not made or endorsed by OpenAI.
What you need
- A SimplePost account on the free trial or a paid plan (MCP is included on every plan).
- At least one social account connected in the SimplePost web app.
- A ChatGPT plan and workspace that allow apps. Availability of plugins, apps and write actions is decided by OpenAI and your workspace admin.
Connect your social accounts
Start the SimplePost trial and connect the networks you want to publish to under Accounts.
Install the SimplePost plugin
Open the SimplePost listing in ChatGPT and select + to install it.
Authorize
Sign in to SimplePost with the same account and approve access when ChatGPT asks.
Start a new chat
Enable SimplePost in the conversation and ask it to list your accounts.
Workflow
One conversation. Four networks.
The first three prompts come from the SimplePost team's own ChatGPT recording of 22 September 2026, shown below. In the recording, the last step used an open Friday slot; here it schedules for tomorrow at 10:00. One idea, two shapes, four networks, one scheduled post.
Show me my weekly schedule on SimplePost.
Result: ChatGPT opens the SimplePost calendar widget with your scheduled posts and open posting slots.
Create a preview for a post on X and LinkedIn saying how easy it is to use SimplePost.
Result: A preview with a network switcher appears for X and LinkedIn. Nothing is saved yet.
Turn this into a thread for Threads and Bluesky.
Result: ChatGPT adds a per-account version for Threads and Bluesky, split into posts that fit each network, and shows the thread preview.
Schedule them all for tomorrow at 10:00 Europe/Berlin.
Result: One SimplePost post is scheduled: a single post on X and LinkedIn and a thread on Threads and Bluesky, all at 10:00.
A narrated walkthrough in ChatGPT: check the calendar, draft posts for X and LinkedIn, adapt them for Threads and Bluesky, and schedule all four.

Publishing details
What ChatGPT can do
- List the social accounts you connected in SimplePost.
- Draft a post and show an interactive preview for each network inside the chat.
- Create different versions per network in one post, such as a single post for X and LinkedIn and a thread for Threads and Bluesky.
- Schedule posts, publish immediately, or save drafts.
- Show your SimplePost calendar for a day, week or month, including open posting slots.
- Upload images and videos you attach in ChatGPT.
- Inspect, edit, reschedule or discard drafts and scheduled posts.
Connect social accounts in the SimplePost web app. Engagement analytics and changes to already published posts stay on the social network.
Different versions for each network
- Everything ChatGPT schedules for several networks can live in one SimplePost post: the shared message goes to every account, and per-account overrides replace the text, media or thread for specific accounts.
- Ask for the versions you want in plain language ("shorter for X", "a thread for Bluesky", "no hashtags on LinkedIn"); ChatGPT maps them to overrides and the preview shows each one.
- SimplePost validates every version against its network's rules, so an X version over 280 characters or an Instagram post without an image is flagged before scheduling.
Sign-in and permissions
- ChatGPT authorizes with OAuth and PKCE. You approve access on a SimplePost page; ChatGPT never sees your password or any social network token.
- The granted scopes cover reading accounts and posts, validating posts, and writing posts. Access tokens expire after 90 days, and you can revoke access at any time.
- If your workspace does not allow the listed plugin, a custom app with the server URL https://app.simplepost.social/mcp is an alternative where developer mode is available.

If something does not work
SimplePost is not available in my ChatGPT
Plugins and apps depend on your ChatGPT plan, region and workspace settings. Ask your workspace admin, or use the SimplePost web composer in the meantime.
ChatGPT says there are no accounts
Connect the social account in the SimplePost web app first, then ask ChatGPT to list accounts again. Make sure you authorized ChatGPT with the same SimplePost login.
An attached image is not used
Attach the file in the same message, or give a public URL. Local file paths and blob URLs do not work with the hosted server.
The widget does not appear
Every SimplePost tool also returns a text result. Ask ChatGPT to describe the preview, or open the post in the SimplePost web app.

FAQ
ChatGPT and SimplePost questions
Can ChatGPT post to social media?
Yes, with the SimplePost plugin. ChatGPT sends posts to SimplePost, which publishes them to X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest or Telegram, now or at a scheduled time.
Can ChatGPT post to LinkedIn?
Yes. Connect your LinkedIn profile in SimplePost and ask ChatGPT to create the post. SimplePost publishes it to your personal profile; company pages are not supported in the hosted app.
Does ChatGPT publish without asking me?
ChatGPT follows your instructions. Ask for a preview or a draft and nothing is published. If you give exact content, accounts and a time, it can schedule or publish directly, and ChatGPT may ask you to confirm write actions.

No. SimplePost is an independent product available in ChatGPT. It uses the Model Context Protocol and OAuth like other ChatGPT apps.
Do I need a paid SimplePost plan?
You can start with the 7-day free trial, which includes MCP access and 10 posts per platform. After that, MCP is included on every paid plan starting with Basic.
