Requirements#
Before you connect:
- SkedCast: a plan that includes MCP access (see pricing). The connection acts as you, with your role and plan limits.
- ChatGPT: account and workspace policies apply to adding a custom MCP server, so a workspace admin may need to allow it first.
FAQ
- Why can't I see "Add custom MCP server" in ChatGPT?
- Your account or workspace may not allow custom MCP servers. In a workspace, ask an admin to allow it, then follow the OpenAI page linked under Related reading.
- What can an agent do once it's connected?
- Whatever your SkedCast role and plan allow. The connection acts as you, not with elevated access. It can read posts and analytics, schedule and revise posts, and act on approvals, through the tools listed on the MCP hub.
