How to post to Threads from ChatGPT

Updated November 13, 2026

To post to Threads from ChatGPT, add a connector that can post there, such as Postwith. Connect your Threads account to Postwith once, add Postwith to ChatGPT, then ask: “Post this to Threads now.” ChatGPT shows you the post, and Postwith publishes it, or schedules it for later, after your OK. Threads posts can be text on their own, so you don’t need a photo.

Works on ChatGPT Plus. ChatGPT now lets you add Postwith yourself from Plugins, no directory listing needed. We tested it on ChatGPT Plus on November 14, 2026: it connected, showed the post, and published after a yes. Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces work the same way, though an admin may need to allow “Create plugins with MCPs” first. If your plan doesn’t show Add custom MCP server, use Postwith in OpenAI’s Codex app or in Claude instead.

Steps

Sign in to Postwith. Go to app.postwith.app and sign in with your email. You get a six-digit code; there’s no password.
Connect Threads. Open Accounts, choose Threads and sign in with Threads’ own login. Postwith posts through the official Threads API and never sees your password.
Add Postwith to ChatGPT. In ChatGPT, open Plugins in the sidebar, choose Add › Add custom MCP server, name it Postwith and paste https://mcp.postwith.app/mcp as the server URL. Leave Authentication on OAuth, tick I understand and want to continue, and choose Create as a plugin. Sign in to Postwith when it asks, and choose Allow. Then type @Postwith in any chat.
Ask ChatGPT to post. For a text post, just say what it’s about: “Post a short Threads update: our spring menu starts Monday. Keep it friendly.” For a photo or video, ask for an upload link first, since files attached in a chat don’t reach connectors.
Check it and say yes. ChatGPT shows you the exact post. Once you say yes, Postwith posts it within a minute, or at the time you gave.
Keep up with replies. Ask “Any new replies on my Threads post?” ChatGPT reads them from Postwith and can draft answers. Each answer goes out only after you OK the exact words.

What you can ask for

“Post this thought to Threads now.”
“Schedule three Threads posts about our launch: Monday, Wednesday and Friday at noon.”
“Post these photos to Threads as one carousel, and to Instagram too.”
“How did my Threads posts do this month?”

Good to know

Text, photos or video. Text on its own, a photo, a carousel of up to 10 photos, or one video.
Length. Threads takes up to 500 characters, counting each emoji as several, and up to 5 links. Postwith tells ChatGPT when a post is too long, before it goes out.
Text-only posts go to Threads or LinkedIn. Other networks need a photo or video, so for a post to Threads and Instagram, add one.
Results. ChatGPT can read how your Threads posts did over 7, 30 or 90 days, alongside Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
