Connect Adeli to ChatGPT

Post, schedule, reply to comments or messages, and read analytics on social accounts you own, all within ChatGPT.

Paste this into ChatGPT or Codex

Set up Adeli from tryadeli.com/agents/chatgpt

Your agent reads this page, asks for your Adeli API key, and sets everything up.

Use this if your agent can't open links, or if you'd rather give it everything in one message. It covers the same setup as the link above.

Prompt for ChatGPT or Codex
Set up Adeli in ChatGPT or Codex so you can publish posts, read analytics, and manage comments and DMs on my social accounts (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X).

Full instructions: https://www.tryadeli.com/agents/chatgpt.md

About Adeli:
- MCP server: https://app.tryadeli.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: header `Authorization: Bearer <ADELI_API_KEY>`. API key only, no OAuth.
- REST API with the same key: https://app.tryadeli.com/api/v1
- Docs for agents: https://app.tryadeli.com/docs/llms.txt

Do this:
1. Ask me for my Adeli API key (it starts with rk_live_). If I don't have one, tell me to sign up free at https://app.tryadeli.com, connect my social accounts, and create a key at https://app.tryadeli.com/settings/api-keys. Keep the key out of chat logs, public files, and git; store it in an environment variable or the app's secret settings.
2. If you are Codex (or any OpenAI agent with a terminal): make sure ADELI_API_KEY is exported in my shell profile, then add this to ~/.codex/config.toml and tell me to restart Codex:

[mcp_servers.adeli]
url = "https://app.tryadeli.com/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "ADELI_API_KEY"
3. If you are ChatGPT on the web: you can't add Adeli yet, because ChatGPT apps only support OAuth or no auth and Adeli uses an API key. Tell me that plainly and walk me through the Codex steps on the page instead.
4. Verify: call the list_accounts tool (or GET https://app.tryadeli.com/api/v1/accounts) and show me my connected accounts. A 401 means the key is wrong or revoked.

Rules once connected:
- Always ask me before you publish, reply, send a message, delete, or disconnect anything. These act on my real accounts.
- Start with list_accounts and use its accountId values. Leave profileId out.
- For TikTok and YouTube video, pass a public HTTPS video URL, not a file upload.

Get your Adeli API key

Whether your agent sets this up or you do, you need one thing from Adeli first.

  1. Create a free Adeli account. Sign in with Google. Your first 3 connected accounts are free and no credit card is required.
  2. Connect your social accounts in the Adeli dashboard (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, or X).
  3. Create an API key under Settings → API keys. It starts with rk_live_. Treat it like a password: paste it into your agent’s settings or your terminal, never into a public file or a shared chat.

Connect ChatGPT by hand

Prefer to do it yourself? Follow these steps. They take about two minutes.

Codex reads MCP servers from ~/.codex/config.toml and can send your key as a bearer token from an environment variable.

  1. Create an Adeli API key

    Sign in to Adeli, connect your social accounts, then go to Settings → API keys and create a key. It starts with rk_live_. Copy it somewhere safe; you'll paste it in a moment.

  2. Put the key in your shell

    Add this to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc so Codex can read it in every session.

    Terminal
    export ADELI_API_KEY="rk_live_YOUR_KEY"

  3. Add Adeli to Codex

    Open ~/.codex/config.toml (create it if it doesn't exist) and add this block. The Codex IDE extension reads the same file.

    ~/.codex/config.toml
    [mcp_servers.adeli]
url = "https://app.tryadeli.com/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "ADELI_API_KEY"

  4. Check it's connected

    Start Codex and type /mcp. adeli should be listed with its tools.

    Codex
    /mcp
try it out

Things to ask once it's connected

  • List my connected Adeli accounts and tell me which platforms they're on.
  • How did my Instagram posts do over the last 30 days? Show reach and engagement for the top 5.
  • Show me unanswered comments on my latest TikTok and draft a reply to each. Don't send anything yet.
  • Publish this video to my YouTube channel as unlisted: https://example.com/clip.mp4. Title it 'Behind the scenes'.

Your agent asks before it posts, replies, or sends a message. The full tool list is in the MCP tools reference.

ChatGPT faq

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add Adeli as an app in ChatGPT?

Not yet. ChatGPT's developer mode apps authenticate with OAuth or no auth, and Adeli's MCP server takes an API key. Use Codex, OpenAI's coding agent, which supports bearer-token MCP servers and comes with paid ChatGPT plans.

Does this work with the Codex IDE extension too?

Yes. The Codex CLI and IDE extension share ~/.codex/config.toml, so adding Adeli once makes it available in both.

Can a custom GPT call Adeli?

A custom GPT action can call Adeli's REST API at app.tryadeli.com/api/v1 with an API key header. That's the API, not MCP, and you define the actions yourself. See the API docs.
