How to connect ClipSpeed to Grok Bot
ClipSpeed's Grok Bot plugin is in progress. Until it lands, a Bot that can register an MCP server can add the ClipSpeed URL; a Bot that only installs plugins waits for the plugin.
1 · Connect · about a minute
Add the ClipSpeed MCP server at https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp and sign me in. Then list my connected channels.Status: coming. The plugin is in progress and ClipSpeed has not verified Grok Bot end to end. The badge on this page changes when either happens.
2 · Then ask
- In a Bot chat, ask it to add the ClipSpeed MCP server at https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp.
- Complete the sign-in link it sends back, or store a ClipSpeed API key as a Bot secret.
- Ask the Bot to list your channels.
- Save a routine: clip the day's VOD at 11pm, book tomorrow's posts, message you the plan.

One connection powers every channel you run
Connect each platform to ClipSpeed once, through the platform's own sign-in. From then on Grok Bot can post to any of them by name, and ClipSpeed publishes at the minute you set. Posting today: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn. The badge on each platform tells you the truth about the rest.

Which way should I connect ClipSpeed to Grok Bot?
The first row is the route this page documents. Every row reaches the same account, the same calendar and the same booking rules; they differ in how you sign in and what else is in the toolset.
| Method | How you connect | Auth | Toolset | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ClipSpeed plugin | In progress | API key as a Bot secret | Scheduling, clipping | Every Bot in a workspace |
| MCP server (where supported) | Ask the Bot to add https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp | OAuth or key | Full | Bots that register MCP servers |
| OpenClaw | MCP config with a key | API key | Full | Self-hosted always-on today |
The same server works with every other agent too: see the MCP server page and the AI agents overview.
Why use Grok Bot for social media with ClipSpeed?
Grok Bot brings the context: always-on Bots with their own cloud computer. ClipSpeed brings structured tools for every platform, the booking rules that keep an account healthy, and the two things no other scheduler's agent can do: cut the clips and generate the media in the same conversation.
Routines
Nightly clipping and next-day scheduling without being asked twice.
Approvals
The Bot asks before publishing; ClipSpeed's preview shows the plan first.
Cloud computer
Posts go out while your laptop is closed.
Clips from inside the tool call
Submit a video or a live stream, get back captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, and book the best ones. The clipping step is a tool, not a separate product.
Image and video generation
Generate a product shot, a quote card or a short opener with ClipSpeed's models, see the credit price first, and post the hosted result with media_url.
Rules that run on the server
Caps, spacing, exact-or-refused booking, duplicate protection and per-platform limits are enforced when Grok Bot books, so a hurried prompt cannot flood a platform or post the same thing twice.
What is Grok Bot?
Grok Bot is the always-on agent product from xAI and Cursor. You create named Bots with a job; each runs on its own persistent cloud computer with a browser, a filesystem and a terminal, and asks you for approval before changing outside systems. ClipSpeed is building a plugin for it; where a Bot can add an MCP server, the ClipSpeed URL works today.

How ClipSpeed works with Grok Bot
Once connected, Grok Bot sees every ClipSpeed tool the moment the sign-in completes: channels, platform rules, posts, analytics, clipping and generation. It chains them for you; the rules below are what keeps that safe.
- The Bot gains the ClipSpeed tools by plugin or MCP
- Reads platform rules
- Exact-or-refused booking
preview: truefor routines that report first- Approvals keep a human in the loop
How booking works, whatever the client
- Exact or refused. A time you name is booked to the minute or refused with the reason and the next open slot. ClipSpeed never moves a booked post without asking.
- As soon as possible is placed and said. Leave the time out and the reply tells you exactly where the post landed.
- Preview books nothing.
preview: trueruns the whole booking, including caps, spacing and slot choice, and writes nothing. It is how a week gets planned before it is booked. - Limits are refused at booking, never trimmed at send time. The reply carries the real count so the fix is one edit.
- Pacing protects the account. Text posts on X are at least 30 minutes apart (ten a day); LinkedIn text is an hour apart (three a day); video uploads are two to four hours apart under your plan's daily cap.
- One piece of content goes to one platform once. The same text or the same file to the same platform is recognised as a duplicate and refused.
- Cancel is undoable for 72 hours in the ClipSpeed app. Copy can be edited while a post is still scheduled; the time cannot, by design.

# Rules
- Read platform_settings before composing; limits are refused, never trimmed.
- Preview a plan (preview: true) before booking; never skip the user's approval.
- A refused slot comes back with the next open one. Use it; never guess a time.
- One piece of content goes to one platform once.What Postiz-style schedulers cannot do
Cut the clips first
Grok Bot does not need finished video to start. Hand it a YouTube link, a podcast, a stream VOD or a local export. ClipSpeed finds the moments, cuts them to 9:16 with word-by-word captions, scores each one 0 to 100 for shareability, and returns them in the same conversation. Grok Bot picks by score, writes the caption from the transcript, and books the clips on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn. Three tool calls, one approval, no download and no re-upload.
- Clips arrive with a title written from the hook, a transcript and a viral score, so the agent can choose and caption without watching the footage.
- Live streams can be clipped while they are still on air; the agent books the highlights for the next morning before the stream ends.
- Every clip is already hosted, so
schedule_posttakes its id directly. Nothing moves through your laptop.
submit_to_clipspeedPaste the link. ClipSpeed starts the job and returns a project id.check_clipsPoll with the project id. Back come the finished 9:16 clips with titles, transcripts, viral scores and preview links.schedule_postPass the clip id, the platforms, a caption and a time. Grok Bot shows the plan with preview: true, you say yes, it books.generate_image or generate_videoDescribe the shot. ClipSpeed runs it on the model that fits (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image and others) and quotes the credits first.wait_for_generationReturns the hosted result link and a preview the agent can show you.schedule_post with media_urlThe result link goes straight into the booking. The caption, the time and the file are approved together.The other half nobody else has
Generate the image or video, then post it
A product shot for Instagram, a 16:9 announcement graphic for X, a six-second opener before a clip: Grok Bot can make an image or a short video with ClipSpeed's image and video models and book the result in the same reply. There is no separate design tool, no export, no upload page. The generated file is hosted, so media_url is the only thing the booking needs.
- The price in credits is quoted before anything renders, within the per-generation and daily caps you set in Settings.
- Results are previewed in the conversation, so you approve the picture and the post at once.
- Images post as JPG, PNG or WebP up to 25 MB; video posts as MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB.
Headless: Grok Bot as a publisher nobody has to babysit
Status: plugin in progress. Grok Bot installs tools as plugins on each Bot's cloud computer. ClipSpeed's plugin is in progress and will carry the CLI and a SKILL.md so every Bot in a workspace can clip and schedule. Until then this page describes the flow honestly as coming, and a Bot that can add MCP servers can use the URL today.

Grok Bot and ClipSpeed: frequently asked questions
How do I connect ClipSpeed to Grok Bot?
ClipSpeed's Grok Bot plugin is in progress. Until it lands, a Bot that can register an MCP server can add the ClipSpeed URL; a Bot that only installs plugins waits for the plugin. In a Bot chat, ask it to add the ClipSpeed MCP server at https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp. Complete the sign-in link it sends back, or store a ClipSpeed API key as a Bot secret. Nothing else is installed, and the same account you use in the ClipSpeed app is the one Grok Bot books into.
Do I need a paid ClipSpeed plan to schedule from Grok Bot?
Scheduling needs an active ClipSpeed plan or the $1 trial, and it is included on every paid plan at no extra cost. Grok Bot itself is billed by xAI and Cursor under your own account. Connect during the trial, book a few posts, and the plan screen in ClipSpeed takes it from there.
Is Grok Bot the same as Grok Build?
No. Grok Bot: cloud, 24/7, routines and approvals. Grok Build: terminal, coding agent. Grok: x and grok.com, the chatbot. All of them reach the same ClipSpeed account and the same calendar; this page covers Grok Bot.
What can Grok Bot do with ClipSpeed?
List your connected channels, read each platform's rules, write posts within those rules, schedule or preview them, edit or cancel what is scheduled, and read the numbers after a post goes out. It can also cut a video or a live stream into captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, generate images and video, and book the results. Today that posts to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn; text-only posts go to X (Twitter) and LinkedIn.
Will posts go out while I am away?
Yes. Once Grok Bot books a post, ClipSpeed holds it and publishes at the scheduled minute whether or not the chat is open. For runs where Grok Bot decides what to post without you, use its headless mode shown on this page and keep preview mode on so the plan is reviewed first.
Does Grok Bot need my social media passwords?
No. You connect each platform to ClipSpeed once through that platform's own sign-in; ClipSpeed never sees the password and Grok Bot never sees the platform at all. Grok Bot authenticates to ClipSpeed over OAuth, so no key is pasted anywhere, and it can only reach channels already connected in your account. Keep Grok Bot's confirmation step on for anything that goes live.
Which platforms can Grok Bot post to through ClipSpeed?
Today: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn. Next on the rail: Facebook, Threads, Bluesky and Pinterest. 21 more platforms, from Telegram and Discord to Reddit and WordPress, are described on their pages with an honest status badge and are not bookable until that badge changes. Each platform below has its own Grok Bot guide with a settings reference and the limits that apply.
Grok Bot does not show the ClipSpeed tools. What should I check?
Confirm the connection finished: the ClipSpeed sign-in (or the API key header) has to complete before the tool list is advertised. Then start a fresh chat and make sure the ClipSpeed connector is enabled for it. If a channel is missing rather than a tool, connect the platform in ClipSpeed first and ask Grok Bot to list channels again.
Is the ClipSpeed Grok Bot plugin available?
Not yet; it is in progress. The badge on this page changes when it is listed.
Is Grok Bot the same as Grok?
No. Grok is the chatbot; Grok Bot is the always-on agent product from xAI and Cursor.
