Post to Discord from Grok Bot
Grok Bot can post to a channel on Discord through ClipSpeed. Add the ClipSpeed connector, sign in, and then ask Grok Bot to post to a channel, pick the time, and apply Discord's settings, without leaving always-on Bots with their own cloud computer. Discord is on the roadmap on ClipSpeed's rail; this page describes how it works and says so.
Keep a human in the loop: Grok Bot shows the plan and asks before anything is public. Posting today: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn.

How to post Discord from 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. Connect Discord in ClipSpeed, then describe the post. Setup takes about a minute.
# One-time setup: Bot chat
Add the ClipSpeed MCP server at https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp and sign me in. Then list my connected channels.
# Then ask Grok Bot:
> Post the patch notes to #announcements at 10am
Grok Bot: Preview — nothing booked yet. Discord — text under 2,000. Book it?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.
- 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.
- Connect Discord in the ClipSpeed app, or ask Grok Bot for a connect link: it is private, valid for ten minutes, and Discord signs you in itself.
What can Grok Bot do on Discord?
On Discord, Grok Bot can post messages, images and short video to a Discord channel. Every booking runs through the same rules as the ClipSpeed app.
Text, Image and Video posts
Discord takes text, image and video through ClipSpeed. Video: MP4 within the server's upload limit (25 MB on a server without boosts). Image: JPG, PNG or GIF.
2,000 characters, checked at booking
Discord's own arithmetic. Too long is refused with the real count, never trimmed at send time.
Exact time or refused
Name the minute and Grok Bot books it, or you are told why not and offered the next open slot. A booked Discord post is never moved behind your back.
Preview before anything posts
preview: true runs the whole booking and writes nothing. Grok Bot shows the plan, with each slot and the day's remaining cap, and books only on your yes.
Clips cut in the same chat
Submit a video or stream link, get captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, and post the best as native video on Discord. No download, no re-upload.
Pacing and numbers
Planned: Text posts on Discord are at least 15 minutes apart, up to 20 a day. Video on Discord is at least 1 hours apart, up to 10 a day under your plan. After a post goes out, Grok Bot can read back views and engagement where Discord provides them.
How does Grok Bot post to Discord through ClipSpeed?
You describe what you want in plain language and Grok Bot makes the ClipSpeed calls. A typical conversation has three beats.
Find your Discord channel
Ask Grok Bot whether Discord is connected. It calls list_channels and reads platform_settings, so it also knows what Discord accepts and the limits before you write a word.
Compose within the rules
Describe the post. Grok Bot drafts within Discord's limits; mention a clip or a file and it attaches it.
Schedule or publish
Name a time, or say now. The slot is booked exactly or refused with the next open one, and the reply carries the id you can cancel or edit by.
Discord settings reference
These are the schedule_post fields that apply to Discord. Mention any of them in plain language and Grok Bot sets them; the server checks them at booking. Fields marked planned land with the Discord release.
| Field | Type | Required | What it does on Discord |
|---|---|---|---|
platforms | string[] | Yes | Include "discord". Up to ten platforms per call; each books its own slot. |
text | string | Yes for a text post | Up to 2,000 characters per message. |
channel | string | Planned | The channel inside the connected server. |
media_kind | text | image | video | No | Detected from the file when omitted. |
clip_id or media_url | string | No | A clip or a public link; video must fit the server's upload limit. |
scheduled_at | ISO 8601 | No | Exact or refused with the next open slot. |
preview | boolean | No | Plan only. |
Common Discord configurations
Ask Grok Bot for any of these and it applies the matching settings.

Discord limits and gotchas to know
Discord enforces a few rules that Grok Bot and ClipSpeed respect automatically, but knowing them helps you phrase requests.
- 2,000 characters per message. Over that is refused at booking.
- Video attachments must fit the server's upload limit, 25 MB without boosts. Most ClipSpeed clips fit; a long upload may not, and the booking will say so.
- Posting is to one channel in one server at a time.
- Discord is on ClipSpeed's roadmap, not the next rail. Bookings are refused plainly until it posts.
- Planned pacing allows frequent posts because community channels expect them.
| Rule | Discord |
|---|---|
| Accepts | Text, Image, Video |
| Text limit | 2,000 characters |
| Title | No title field |
| Links in the caption | Kept with an embed |
| Pacing | Planned: Text posts on Discord are at least 15 minutes apart, up to 20 a day. Video on Discord is at least 1 hours apart, up to 10 a day under your plan. |
| Formats | Image: JPG, PNG or GIF. Video: MP4 within the server's upload limit (25 MB on a server without boosts). Aspect: any |
| Status | On the roadmap; described here, not yet bookable |
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 Discord. 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 on Discord. 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.
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
- The Bot gains the ClipSpeed tools by plugin or MCP
- Reads platform rules
- Exact-or-refused booking

Discord and Grok Bot: frequently asked questions
How do I post to Discord from Grok Bot?
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. Connect Discord in ClipSpeed (or ask Grok Bot for a connect link; it is private and valid for ten minutes), then describe the post in plain language. Grok Bot reads the Discord rules, drafts within them, shows the plan and books on your yes. Discord is on the roadmap; until the badge changes, the booking is refused with a plain message.
What can Grok Bot post to Discord through ClipSpeed?
Post messages, images and short video to a Discord channel. Discord takes text, image and video posts. Text is limited to 2,000 characters.
Which Discord settings can Grok Bot control?
The fields in the settings reference above: text, channel, media_kind, clip_id or media_url, scheduled_at, preview. Mention any of them in plain language ("unlisted", "tomorrow at 9", "preview first") and Grok Bot sets the matching field before it books.
Do I need a Discord API key or developer account?
No. You connect Discord to ClipSpeed once through Discord's own sign-in, and Grok Bot talks to ClipSpeed over OAuth. No Discord developer key, bearer token or password is pasted anywhere.
How many Discord posts a day can Grok Bot schedule?
Planned: Text posts on Discord are at least 15 minutes apart, up to 20 a day. Video on Discord is at least 1 hours apart, up to 10 a day under your plan. When a time is taken, the booking is refused with the next open slot rather than moved. Ask for preview to see a day's plan and the remaining cap before anything is booked.
Can Grok Bot post to Discord from a script or a cron job?
Yes. Grok Bot's headless mode (routine) runs one prompt and exits, and the ClipSpeed server registered on that machine does the booking. On a runner with no browser, authenticate with a ClipSpeed API key header. Keep preview on so the run reports a plan before it books.
Is posting to Discord from Grok Bot different from Grok Build?
The booking is identical: the same rules, the same calendar, the same refusals. What differs is where you work. Grok Bot: in the cloud, on routines; chat from desktop and iphone. Grok Build: terminal, coding agent.
