Post UGC from ChatGPT

Connect

1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps & Connectors. Custom MCP connectors may need Developer mode turned on under Advanced, depending on your plan and workspace settings.
2. Create a connector with the URL https://ugcapi.dev/mcp. Authentication is OAuth; ChatGPT registers itself.
3. Sign in with your UGC API email code and press Allow.
4. Start a chat, enable the connector from the tools menu and ask what accounts you have.

What ChatGPT can do with it

• Publish now or later: one video to TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels and YouTube Shorts; one slideshow as a TikTok photo post, an Instagram carousel and Story frames.
• Plan campaigns: many posts over many accounts on a cadence, previewed first. See campaigns.
• Onboard creators: generate a connect link per creator, no passwords shared.
• Report: published, failed and scheduled counts, error reasons, and views and likes from TikTok and Instagram.

Prompts that work well

• “Here are 9 slide image URLs. Make three 3-slide carousels with captions in our brand voice, then post them to @brand on Instagram Mon/Wed/Fri at 12:00 London. Preview first.”
• “Turn this TikTok script into a caption and hashtags, then schedule hook-12.mp4 to both TikTok accounts tomorrow at 9am, privacy public.”
• “List anything that failed in the last 7 days, grouped by error.”

Building on the OpenAI API instead

If you're building your own GPT-powered agent rather than chatting, call our REST API as a function tool with an API key. That works headless, with no sign-in screen, and you keep full control of when posts go out. The agent frameworks page has tool definitions you can paste into the OpenAI Agents SDK.
