Connect ChatGPT to Storylayer via MCP

Use Storylayer's hosted MCP server with ChatGPT — OAuth 2.1 discovery, gpt-instructions.md, and a publishing workflow that fits Custom GPTs and agent mode.

Connect ChatGPT to Storylayer via MCP

ChatGPT can drive Storylayer the same way Claude does — through our hosted MCP server at https://app.storylayer.ai/api/mcp.


Prerequisites

  • Storylayer Pro or Agency plan (MCP access)
  • At least one social channel connected in the dashboard
  • ChatGPT with MCP / connector support

Step 1 — Add the MCP server

In ChatGPT's connector settings, add:

https://app.storylayer.ai/api/mcp

ChatGPT discovers OAuth via WWW-Authenticate and walks through authorization automatically — no manual client ID setup.


Step 2 — Load instructions

Point your Custom GPT or system prompt at:

https://app.storylayer.ai/.well-known/gpt-instructions.md

This file summarizes auth, workflow, and anti-patterns (don't fabricate project IDs, use retry_story on failures).


Step 3 — Run the workflow

Ask ChatGPT to:

  1. Call whoami — confirm project and quota
  2. Call list_social_connections — verify Instagram is connected
  3. Call create_story with caption + media URL
  4. Call publish_story or schedule_story

For large images, use request_upload_url and shell/curl — ChatGPT's context window is not the place for 10 MB base64.
