Best ChatGPT Plugins for Social Media and Marketing in 2026: 13 Checked
Which ChatGPT plugins can schedule posts to LinkedIn, Instagram or X, and which ones only design, report or look people up? 13 social media and marketing plugins (formerly ChatGPT apps), each checked against its own listing in ChatGPT's plugin directory or its vendor's docs.
- 01ChatGPT apps are now called plugins.
OpenAI's developer docs are titled Plugins, 'Build and publish plugins with skills, MCP servers, and optional UI', and the directory lives at chatgpt.com/plugins. A plugin can bundle one or more apps, the connections that let ChatGPT 'take supported actions in the connected service'. You add them from Settings, then Plugins.
- 02
Five plugins in ChatGPT's own directory can schedule social posts: Metricool, Pallyy, post bridge and Postiz across many networks, and Tailwind for Pinterest only.
- 03LinkedIn has its own plugin in the directory, made by LinkedIn.
It looks professionals up. It does not post.
- 04Buffer and Antwork are not in the directory.
You add them by URL in developer mode, which OpenAI describes as full MCP support with write actions, in beta for Business, Enterprise and Edu.
- 05
Searching the directory for Buffer, Hootsuite, Typefully, Taplio and Later returned no plugin from any of them on 13 October 2026.
- 06Ranking rule: plugins that can publish to a social network come first.
Within each group, plugins listed in ChatGPT's directory come before apps you add by URL in developer mode, then alphabetical.

"Not stated" means neither the listing nor the vendor's page says. It does not mean the feature is missing. Listings change often, so open the linked page before relying on a single cell.
ChatGPT can schedule your posts, but only through the right plugin. Search ChatGPT's plugin directory for social media and you get schedulers, video makers, ad dashboards and a LinkedIn plugin that does not post, all mixed together. This page sorts them by the job they do, so you can see which ones put a post on LinkedIn, Instagram or X, and which only feed the work around it.
ChatGPT apps are now called plugins: OpenAI's developer docs are titled Plugins, and Usecarly's tracker dates the move to 9 July 2026. Inside a plugin, an app is still the connection to the outside service, which is why developer mode still says "create an app".
One source per fact: the plugin's own listing in ChatGPT's plugin directory, or the vendor's own docs, linked in every row. Everything was checked on 13 October 2026. Using Claude instead?

Pick by job
- You want one tool that posts and reports. Metricool. Its listing schedules and updates posts, retrieves analytics and finds recommended posting times.
- You post the same idea everywhere. Pallyy or post bridge. Both create scheduled posts across several networks in one request.
- You make short video. post bridge. Its listing's own example schedules one video to TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
- You live on Pinterest. Tailwind. It drafts Pins from a webpage, schedules them to boards and shows posting times.
- You already run your queue in Buffer. Buffer connects in developer mode and reaches the queue you have.
- You want drafts that sound like you. Antwork. Before drafting, your AI reads that account's recent posts and their engagement, and nothing goes out until you ask.
- You need the visuals, not the posting. Canva or Adobe.
Plugin by plugin
Plugins that publish
Metricool
Vendor docs ↗Listed as "Analyze and schedule posts", made by Metricool Software S.L. The listing says it helps you "inspect connected brands, retrieve social media analytics, review scheduled content, find recommended posting times, and create or update posts from ChatGPT". The ChatGPT listing does not name networks; Metricool's Claude listing for the same server names 11. Metricool's help center says its MCP works on any plan, including Free, with Free limits still applying.
Pallyy
Vendor docs ↗Listed as "Schedule social media posts", made by Pallyy. It plans content for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky, X and Google Business Profile: it creates "draft or scheduled posts across several networks in one go", updates captions, media and publish times, imports images and videos to your media library and adds calendar notes.
post bridge
Vendor docs ↗Made by Jack Ingram Media Inc. The listing says it lets you "create, schedule and publish posts across 10 social platforms" from one connected account: X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Bluesky, Threads and Google Business. It can also "pull back views, likes and comments for posts you've published", and it handles per-platform media rules and captions.
Postiz
Vendor docs ↗Listed as "Schedule social posts", made by Postiz. It lists connected channels and groups, checks each platform's requirements, uploads or generates media, and creates "drafts or scheduled posts". Its sample prompt names X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest, Bluesky and Google Business. Postiz is open source, and its hosted plans start at $29 a month.
Tailwind
Vendor docs ↗Listed as "Create & plan Pinterest Pins", made by Tailwind App. It generates Pin drafts from webpages, manages boards, researches group boards, shows recommended posting times, schedules Pins and edits or deletes unpublished ones.
A hosted MCP server at https://api.antwork.io/mcp, added in developer mode with OAuth and no API key. It posts to LinkedIn (profiles and company pages), X, Instagram, Facebook Pages, Threads, TikTok, YouTube and Pinterest. Every post lands as a draft first; scheduling and publishing are separate steps you ask for. Before drafting, your AI reads that account's recent posts and their engagement, so drafts start from how you already write. The same URL works in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code.
Buffer
Vendor docs ↗Buffer's guide connects ChatGPT on the web in developer mode: a new app named Buffer with https://mcp.buffer.com/mcp and OAuth, "No API key needed". Its example prompts view scheduled posts, create a draft post for a channel and list channels with posts scheduled for a day.
Plugins that create
Canva
Vendor docs ↗Listed as "Create, review, edit designs". It turns a brief or draft copy into a presentation, poster, flyer or social post, and generates images. Its own example: "resize this poster as an Instagram post". It makes the design; it does not post it.
Adobe
Vendor docs ↗Listed as "Design, combine, and edit", previously available as Photoshop. The listing covers editing photos, "designing social assets, resizing videos" and searching Creative Cloud assets.
Plugins that research and measure
vidIQ
Vendor docs ↗Listed as "Grow on YouTube, IG & TikTok". It finds videos outperforming their creators' usual results on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, compares YouTube keyword estimates and helps with titles. Research for your next video, not a scheduler.
Windsor.ai
Vendor docs ↗Listed as "Connect 350+ data sources". It pulls performance data from your connected marketing sources, such as comparing Google Ads and Meta Ads spend and return. Windsor.ai also lists separate plugins per source, including Instagram, Facebook Ads and TikTok Ads.
Plugins for sales and lookup
HubSpot
Vendor docs ↗Listed as "Insights to action in HubSpot". It reads from and writes to deals, contacts, companies, tickets and engagements, prepares reports and logs calls and emails. Social posting is not mentioned.
Made by LinkedIn, listed as "Find the right professional": "Look up any professional on LinkedIn without leaving ChatGPT. See their title, company, location and follower count." It is the only plugin here made by a social network itself, and it does not post.
How to add a plugin to ChatGPT
- From the directory: open Settings, then Plugins, choose the plugin and select Install plugin or Connect, then sign in to the account that has your data. In a chat, mention it with @ or pick it from the + menu.
- By URL (developer mode): turn on developer mode, then create an app (developer mode still calls it that) with the server's MCP URL and OAuth. For Antwork that is
https://api.antwork.io/mcp; for Buffer,https://mcp.buffer.com/mcp. OpenAI's article on developer mode covers plans and workspace controls.

Before you let ChatGPT post for you
- Keep a review step. OpenAI's help center says ChatGPT "may ask for approval before reading information or completing an action". Leave plugin permissions on asking until you trust the plugin.
- Check what the grant covers. Some plugins reach your inbox, comments or ad accounts, not just posts.
- Know where the plugin comes from. OpenAI says apps in its approved registry "have been reviewed before availability", and that you are responsible for vetting servers you add yourself in developer mode.
Post from your AI, in your own voice.
Connect Claude or ChatGPT once. Drafts start from your recent posts, and nothing goes out until you approve it.

Facebook MCP servers
Meta's official MCP server is for ads, not Page posts. We checked 12 Facebook MCP servers against their own docs and Meta's API rules: which post to your Page, which do Reels, comments and Messenger, and what they cost.
Instagram MCP servers
There is no official Instagram MCP server. We checked 12 third-party ones against their own docs and Meta's API rules: which publish Reels and Stories, which answer DMs, which scrape, which risk your account.
