Ask the user for anything marked as theirs, and ask before any action that publishes or changes their accounts. ```text Help me connect Adeli to Manus so it can publish posts, read analytics, and manage comments and DMs on my social accounts (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X). Some steps are in a settings screen only I can click, so walk me through those one at a time. Full instructions: https://www.tryadeli.com/agents/manus.md About Adeli: - MCP server: https://app.tryadeli.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP) - Auth: header `Authorization: Bearer `. 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. You can't add connectors yourself, so guide me one step at a time: Settings → Connectors → Add connectors → Custom MCP → Direct configuration. Server name "Adeli", transport HTTP, server URL https://app.tryadeli.com/mcp, and a header named Authorization with the value "Bearer " followed by my Adeli API key. Wait for me to confirm each step. 3. When I say it's saved, call list_accounts to confirm the connection works. 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. ``` ## Before you start 1. Create a free Adeli account at https://app.tryadeli.com (sign in with Google; first 3 connected accounts free, no credit card). 2. Connect your social accounts in the Adeli dashboard. 3. Create an API key at https://app.tryadeli.com/settings/api-keys. It starts with `rk_live_`. ## Set it up by hand ### Manus Add Adeli once under Settings → Connectors. 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. **Open Connectors.** In Manus, go to Settings → Connectors → Add connectors → Custom MCP → Add custom MCP, then choose Direct configuration. (Older versions call this Settings → Integrations → Custom MCP Servers → Add Server.) 3. **Fill in the Adeli server.** Server name: Adeli Transport: HTTP Server URL: https://app.tryadeli.com/mcp Headers: add Authorization with the value below, using your own key. Include the word Bearer, or you'll get a 401. Then click Save. Header value: ```text Bearer rk_live_YOUR_KEY ``` 4. **Try it.** Click Try it out, or start a new task and ask Manus to list your Adeli accounts. Make sure the Adeli connector is switched on for the task. ## 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. - Research what's trending in my niche this week, draft 3 Instagram captions, and publish the one I pick. ## Frequently asked questions ### Where does Manus keep my key? In the connector's settings in your Manus account. To revoke access, delete the key in Adeli under Settings → API keys. That takes effect immediately. ### Can Manus post videos? Yes, if the video is at a public HTTPS URL. MCP tools take a video URL rather than a file upload, which works well for a Manus task that has produced or found the file. ## Reference - MCP setup for every client: https://app.tryadeli.com/docs/mcp - MCP tool list: https://app.tryadeli.com/docs/mcp/tools - REST API docs: https://app.tryadeli.com/docs - All agent setup guides: https://www.tryadeli.com/agents ## Other pages - [Adeli — Unified Social Media API](https://www.tryadeli.com/index.md): A unified social media API: publish, schedule, and measure posts across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and X with a single request. - [Adeli Pricing — priced per connected account](https://www.tryadeli.com/pricing.md): Your first 3 connected accounts are free, then $5 each for accounts 4–10, $3 each for 11–50, $2 each for 51–100, and $1 each up to 2,000.
