# Schedule social posts with ChatGPT.

Add Chockstone Labs to ChatGPT as a custom MCP server, then ask ChatGPT to draft and schedule. Chockstone Labs checks each post against your rules and holds it until a person approves.

Updated October 26, 2026. ChatGPT’s menus change often; if yours look different, OpenAI’s guide below has the current path.

[Start free](https://chockstonelabs.com/app/start) [See pricing](https://chockstonelabs.com/pricing/)

## Connect ChatGPT in four steps

1. **Start a free space.** Go to [chockstonelabs.com/app/start](https://chockstonelabs.com/app/start), create your account and name your brand. Then connect the accounts you post to in Accounts.
2. **Add a custom MCP server in ChatGPT.** In current versions of ChatGPT, open Plugins, choose + and Add custom MCP server, then Create as a plugin. In older versions it is under Settings → Apps → Create, which may need developer mode turned on. Use `https://chockstonelabs.com/mcp` with OAuth.
3. **Sign in and choose what ChatGPT may do.** ChatGPT opens a Chockstone Labs sign-in. Pick the brand it works in and what it may do, then allow it.
4. **Select it in a chat and ask.** Turn the connection on in a conversation, then ask in plain words. Each post waits for a person to approve it.

## Using Codex instead

Add the server from your terminal, then sign in:

```
codex mcp add chockstone --url https://chockstonelabs.com/mcp
codex mcp login chockstone
```

## Things to ask

- “What needs my attention today?”
- “Draft a reel caption for this video and schedule it for Thursday’s best time”
- “Which posts did best this month?”
- “Answer the new comments on my last post in my voice”
- “Move everything scheduled Friday to Monday”

## Questions

- **Which ChatGPT plans can add a custom MCP server?:** That depends on your ChatGPT plan and, for a work account, your workspace’s settings. OpenAI’s help center has the current list.
- **Does ChatGPT post without me?:** No. A person approves every post in the app, unless an owner lets that one connection approve what it submits. TikTok and YouTube posts always wait for a person.
- **Do I pay for AI credits?:** No. Writing and edit help inside the app is included, and your ChatGPT plan covers ChatGPT.
- **Can other scheduling tools do this?:** Yes. Buffer, Hootsuite, Metricool and Publer also connect to ChatGPT over MCP. Here, your approvals and limits are enforced on our server. [See the comparisons](https://chockstonelabs.com/compare/).
