With AI Connect<\/strong>, you can connect Swat.io more easily with your workflows and complete recurring tasks around assets, drafts, and posts faster. Instead of clicking through lists or transferring content manually, AI Connect can help you retrieve information, prepare content, and create or update items directly in Swat.io.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is an MCP?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In short: MCP stands for Model Context Protocol<\/strong> and, put simply, acts as a connection between an LLM and a tool. This makes it possible for the AI to communicate directly with the tool and perform actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In practice, this means you can type or speak prompts into the chatbot of your choice, which are then executed directly in Swat.io.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Initial setup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, you need to establish a connection to the MCP. Depending on the AI you want to use, the process may differ slightly. Even though the connection requires a few clicks, it can be set up quickly and easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find a detailed guide on connecting with ChatGPT and Claude in this Help Center article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note:<\/strong> API access which is relevant to use AI Connect is available for users in M-, L- and Custom plans.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you can do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AI Connect provides a range of actions that help you complete common tasks from your publishing workflow. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find workspaces & channels<\/strong>
You can display all workspaces and channels available to you, including platform types (e.g., Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Threads, Bluesky, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manage assets<\/strong>
You can retrieve a list of assets and create new assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay on top of drafts<\/strong>
You can list drafts, create new drafts, and edit existing drafts (adjust text, change status, set a due date, add attachments).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create & update posts<\/strong>
You can create posts and modify existing ones (e.g., text, title, first comment, media). You can also perform actions such as bulk uploads<\/strong>, which would not be possible directly in Swat.io.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important:<\/strong> As a security measure, it is not possible to publish posts directly through the AI. If you create new posts via the chatbot, they will appear in Swat.io with the status \u201cProposed.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example prompts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prompts could look like this:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
