Use Scout from Claude, ChatGPT or your editor.
Connect Scout and you can read your drafts, approve or skip them, adjust your quarterly theme and change Scout's settings from wherever you already work. It's the same account and the same rules: nothing publishes without your approval, and a connection can do exactly what you can do.
Included in Scout and Scout Team at no extra charge. You need a Scout account, because there's nothing to call without one. If you don't have one yet, start with the free preview.
Connect
Claude or ChatGPT No install
Add a custom connector with this URL, then sign in to Scout when asked. Scout issues the connection its own key, so you never copy or paste one.
https://app.groundworksai.com/api/mcp
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
Claude Code, Cursor and other clients
For developers. Create a token in Scout under Settings → Account → API access, then point your client at the same URL with the token as a bearer header. Treat the token like a password.
claude mcp add --transport http gwai https://app.groundworksai.com/api/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <your token>"
Cursor, Claude Desktop and any MCP client that takes a URL work the same way: add a remote server at https://app.groundworksai.com/api/mcp with the header Authorization: Bearer <your token>. It uses Streamable HTTP, and there's nothing to install.
What it can do
| You say | Scout does |
|---|---|
| "What's waiting for me?" | Lists your pending drafts. |
| "Show me today's post." | Returns the draft, and its image if you ask for it. |
| "Tighten the second paragraph." | Updates a pending draft. |
| "Approve it." / "Skip it." | Approves or skips the draft. Approving here is the same approve as in the app. |
| "Post it." | Publishes an approved draft to your LinkedIn. |
| "How did Tuesday's post do?" | Tells you how one post did, in sentences. It only covers your own posts. |
| "What's my theme this quarter?" / "Change the audience line." | Reads or edits the four theme fields. Angles move only through a conversation with Scout. |
| "Post on Mondays and Thursdays only." | Updates your settings. A value Scout doesn't recognise is refused, not guessed. |
What it won't do
- Nothing goes out that you didn't approve. A connection can approve and publish, so treat it the way you treat your LinkedIn login. If a connected tool misbehaves, revoke it under API access.
- Coming soon: a connection that can't publish. You'll be able to connect with reading, editing and skipping only, and keep approving and publishing inside Scout.
- It won't show anyone else's data. Post statistics cover your own posts only, one post at a time, in sentences, and are kept for 24 hours. Those are LinkedIn's terms, and we keep them.
- The connector doesn't write the posts. Every word still comes from Scout. The connector carries it; it doesn't make it.
- Don't paste your token into a chat. Sign in through the connector instead. That's what the sign-in is for.
Tokens
You create, name and revoke tokens in Scout under Settings → Account → API access. A 401 error means the token is missing, expired or revoked, so create a new one. It's a good habit to use one token per client: if one leaks, you revoke that one and keep the rest.
