Connect
Add Simplified to Grok Bot as a remote MCP server.
If your Bot can add a remote MCP server, add Simplified with its server URL and sign in with your Simplified account. You get everything Simplified can do, from images and video to scheduling and analytics.
1
Add the server.
In your Bot's connection settings, add a remote MCP server named Simplified with the server URL.
2
Sign in.
Choose OAuth and finish the sign-in in your browser when asked. There is no password or key to paste into the chat.
3
Check it, then ask.
Ask your Bot to identify your workspace and list your teamspaces. Then ask for your first post.
Use the server URL https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp and OAuth if your Bot supports it. If it only accepts an API key header, the MCP authentication guide covers that.
Do not guess other endpoint URLs. Read the full setup guide
Your Bot, with every channel in reach.
Once Simplified is connected, your Bot can reach the social accounts linked to your workspace. Platforms are set up in Simplified.
What a Grok Bot can do with Simplified
Your Bot does the thinking and the running. Simplified supplies the design and the publishing.
Each platform gets its own version
The same idea, written for LinkedIn, Instagram, X and the rest at the right length and tone.
Your brand, every time
Images and video start from your Brand Kit, so the output looks like your account.
One source, a whole set
Hand over an article or a notes file and get blog copy, a thread and a short script.
A calendar you can edit
Get a plan as drafts, then change it with plain sentences.
A quick readout
Ask how recent posts performed and what to repeat.
You stay in control
How much your Bot asks first depends on how you run it, so start safe: ask for drafts and approve them yourself.

What is the Simplified connector for a Grok Bot?
A hosted MCP server. If your Bot can add a remote MCP server, you add one named Simplified with the server URL and sign in with your Simplified account.
Nothing runs on your side. After sign-in, ask the Bot to identify your workspace and list your teamspaces, and check that the answer came from Simplified tools.

Before you start
Four things to check so the setup goes smoothly.
Can your Bot add a remote MCP server?
Look in its connection settings. If it only supports other kinds of connections, this page does not apply to it yet.
Use the exact server URL
https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp. Do not guess other addresses to get past an error.
Prefer OAuth
Choose OAuth if your Bot offers it. If it only takes an API key header, the MCP authentication guide covers that.
Verify before you create
Ask for your workspace and teamspaces first. Create nothing until that answer comes from Simplified tools.
Try asking
Try asking your Bot.
Pick a request to see what your Bot and Simplified hand back.

If your Bot is not using Simplified
My Bot has no option to add an MCP server
Check that your Bot supports remote MCP servers. If it only supports other kinds of connections, use another client from the developer setup page for now.
The Simplified tools do not show up
Start a new chat so the tools load. A saved connection alone does not prove the tools are available, so ask your Bot to list your workspace and teamspaces to check.
My Bot asks me to sign in again
Approve access once more in your browser. Signing in again refreshes the connection and your work carries on where it stopped.
My Bot cannot see my channels
Connect your social accounts in Simplified first. An empty list does not mean the connection failed: it usually means no accounts are linked to that workspace yet. Also check that you picked the right teamspace.
Questions before you connect
And some things you'd ask us.
How do I add Simplified to Grok Bot?
If your Bot can add a remote MCP server, add one named Simplified with the URL https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp, choose OAuth and finish the sign-in in your browser. Then ask your Bot to identify your workspace and list your teamspaces to check it worked.
Read the general setup guide Can a Grok Bot post to my social accounts?
If it can connect to Simplified, yes. It can then draft, schedule and publish to the 13 platforms linked in your Simplified workspace: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, X, Google Business Profile, Mastodon, Reddit and Telegram. It only reaches accounts you have already connected.
How do I know my Bot can add a remote MCP server?
Look in its connection settings for a way to add a remote or HTTP MCP server with a URL. If there is none, use another client from the developer setup page for now.
See the developer setup page Do I need an API key?
Not if your Bot supports OAuth: you sign in to your Simplified account in the browser. If it cannot use OAuth, the MCP authentication guide covers API-key headers.
Will my Bot publish without asking me first?
That depends on how you run your Bot, so start safe: ask for drafts and approve them yourself when you are ready.
Can my Bot use files from my machine?
Not by file path. The hosted Simplified server cannot read files on your computer, so media has to reach Simplified as bytes or a link, or be generated by Simplified from a prompt.
Does it use my brand colors, fonts and logo?
It uses the Brand Kit saved in your Simplified workspace, so each graphic and caption starts from the same colors, fonts and voice.
Is Grok Bot the same as Grok or Grok Build?
No. They are separate products, and each has its own page. It is the same Simplified connector in all of them.
My Bot does not show the Simplified tools. What should I check?
A saved connection does not prove the tools are loaded. Make sure the server URL is exact, finish the sign-in, start a new chat and ask your Bot to list your workspace and teamspaces. If the list of accounts is empty, connect your social accounts in Simplified first.
Read the general setup guide Is this different from using Simplified with Grok Build?
It is the same connector. Grok Build is the terminal agent and uses a config file, while a Bot uses its own connection settings.
