How to give WorkBuddy your accounts

  1. 1

    Prepare your Groniz account

    Connect your social accounts in the Groniz Console, then get a key from API Keys. Use that Groniz key in the MCP configuration below.

  2. 2

    Add a custom MCP connection

    Open Connectors → Custom Connector and its MCP configuration. Merge this entry into mcpServers and replace YOUR_API_KEY. Use ~/.workbuddy/mcp.json for all projects or .workbuddy/mcp.json inside the current project.

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "groniz": {
          "type": "streamableHttp",
          "url": "https://mcp.groniz.com/mcp",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  3. 3

    Verify the connection

    Save the configuration and check the server status. Ask WorkBuddy to list your accounts before creating a post.

    Use Groniz integrationList to show my connected accounts.
    Do not schedule or publish anything yet.
  4. 4

    Or use the CLI on macOS

    Run these commands in a macOS terminal and complete the browser login. Then ask WorkBuddy to read https://groniz.com/SKILL.md for the CLI workflow. This is an alternative to MCP.

    curl -fsSL https://groniz.com/install.sh | sh
    export PATH="$HOME/.groniz/bin:$PATH"
    groniz auth login
    groniz whoami

    Schedule from your working documents

    Select the campaign folder in WorkBuddy and specify the target accounts and time zone. Review the proposed copy and dates before scheduling.

    Read the campaign brief and launch calendar in this workspace.
    Draft three posts for X and LinkedIn with dates in Asia/Shanghai.
    Show me the copy and schedule for approval.
    Once approved, schedule with Groniz and return the post IDs.
Before you rely on it
  • The CLI walkthrough is for macOS. Groniz’s shell installer does not support native Windows; use the remote MCP connection there.
  • A project-level MCP file applies only to that project. Keep a configuration containing your key out of shared repositories.
  • WorkBuddy needs access to the selected local files and a network connection to Groniz.

What WorkBuddy can do for you

The Groniz surface is the same everywhere; what changes is how WorkBuddy reaches for it.

Try Turn the campaign spreadsheet in your workspace into a social posting calendar.

Give WorkBuddy access to the campaign folder. It can use the brief and launch dates to draft posts, then schedule approved copy through Groniz.

Every command below runs against your real Groniz account — the same posting, scheduling and analytics the Console gives you.

WorkBuddy questions

WorkBuddy + Groniz, answered

Can I use WorkBuddy with Groniz on Windows?+
Use the custom MCP connection. It reaches Groniz over HTTPS without installing the Groniz CLI. The optional shell commands on this page are for macOS.
Which API key goes in the MCP configuration?+
Use a Groniz API key from the Console’s API Keys page. It authorizes Groniz tools against your connected accounts; a WorkBuddy or model-provider key does not replace it.
Can I save the posting process as a WorkBuddy skill?+
Yes. After validating the workflow, ask WorkBuddy to create a skill with the input folder, target channels, time zone, approval step and expected post IDs. On macOS, the Groniz SKILL.md can guide its CLI commands.
Why is Groniz available in one project but not another?+
Check the configuration scope. A .workbuddy/mcp.json inside a project applies there; ~/.workbuddy/mcp.json is the user-level configuration for reuse across projects.
