Publish to social media from Codex with SocialClaw.
Add SocialClaw to the Codex CLI as an MCP server so Codex can connect accounts, schedule posts, and inspect delivery state from your terminal.
Why Codex works with SocialClaw
SocialClaw is the hosted publishing layer; Codex stays the place you think and write.
Inputs and requirements
The data and checks that keep the workflow grounded in current provider rules.
- A SocialClaw workspace API key (dashboard → Developers → Public API).
- At least one connected social account in the workspace.
- Post content, target account, timezone, and publish time.
- Media uploaded to SocialClaw when the network requires it.
- Validation run before apply so provider rules are checked first.
Connect Codex in a few steps
Connect once, then drive scheduling and publishing in plain language.
Add SocialClaw to Codex
Add an MCP server entry in your Codex config (for example [mcp_servers.socialclaw]) running npx -y socialclaw mcp with SOCIALCLAW_API_KEY set, or point it at the hosted https://getsocialclaw.com/mcp endpoint.
Connect a social account
Connect X, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, or another supported network once in the SocialClaw dashboard so it can be reused across every request.
Ask in plain language
Tell Codex what to publish — for example, "schedule this thread to X and LinkedIn tomorrow at 9am" — and it calls the matching SocialClaw tools.
Validate before publishing
SocialClaw validates the payload against provider rules before apply, so bad media, missing fields, or limits are caught early.
Inspect the result
Read back post state, attempts, and analytics from the same workspace to confirm delivery.
Constraints to know
Important guardrails to keep the page accurate.
- Publishing requires an active SocialClaw plan; unauthenticated clients can still list tools but not publish.
- Each network keeps its own rules — media type, account model, and limits still apply after the client hands off the request.
