## Introduction

### How to connect Threads MCP with ChatGPT
[ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/) can take action across your apps and files, stay with a project for hours, and turn a goal into finished materials like sheets, slides, and docs, not just answers.
In this guide, I will explain the easiest and most secure way to connect your Threads account to ChatGPT via Composio Connect, so it can publish posts, manage replies, discover content, and track post performance through natural language commands without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

## Also integrate Threads with

- [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/threads/framework/claude-cowork)
- [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/threads/framework/hermes-agent)
- [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/threads/framework/atomic-agent)

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over default connectors?
- Apps with read and write access. Default connectors mostly can read your data. Composio's Threads integration lets ChatGPT take actions like creating drafts, sending updates, labeling records, and more.
- 1,500+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. Composio gives you instant access to a vast catalog of pre-built connectors, from Gmail and Slack to Notion, Linear, and Salesforce.
- One MCP server for every app. Connect any of your applications on demand through a single endpoint, rather than juggling a separate server for each app.
- Smart, context-aware tool loading. Unlike traditional MCP servers that dump every available tool into the LLM context window, Composio searches for and loads only the tools relevant to the task at hand.
- Cross-app automation. Chain actions across multiple apps in a single run - fetch a thread, summarize it in Notion, and post highlights to Slack without leaving the conversation.

## Connect Threads to ChatGPT

### Prerequisites
- A ChatGPT account. We will use the [ChatGPT desktop app](https://openai.com/chatgpt/download/), and the steps are the same on the web.
- Access to the Threads workspace you want to connect.
- [Composio plugin](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=chatgpt&utm_content=composio_connect&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fchatgpt).
Note: Composio connects through OAuth. You will be asked to sign in and approve specific permissions. Review the permission screen carefully if you are using a work account.
### Step-by-step: Connect Threads to ChatGPT
### 1. Install the Composio plugin
Click the button. ChatGPT opens the Composio plugin page. Click Install plugin.
[Install in ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6a58503580c08191b78cc5bdaf4eba6e)
You can also find it inside ChatGPT: go to Settings, open Plugins, search the marketplace for Composio, and click Install plugin.
### 2. Authenticate
After you install, ChatGPT asks you to authenticate with Composio. Log in and click Allow access to authorize ChatGPT to use your Composio account.
### 3. Start using Composio
That is it. Composio tools are now available in ChatGPT. Type @Composio followed by your request, for example @Composio find unread Threads messages and summarize them, and it will run the actions you authorize. On first use it asks you to authorize Threads.
### Option 2: Add Composio as an MCP server
If you cannot use the plugin marketplace, add Composio as a custom MCP server instead.
### 1. Open the MCP settings
In ChatGPT, go to Settings and open the Plugins section. Inside the Plugins page, click the MCP tab.
### 2. Add the server
Click Add server. In the Name field enter Composio, for Type select Streamable HTTP, and in the URL field paste the Composio MCP server URL:

```bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
```

## What is the Threads MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Threads MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Threads account. It provides structured and secure access to publishing, replies, public content, profile details, and performance insights, so your agent can publish posts, manage conversations, discover content, and analyze engagement on your behalf.
- Post publishing and sharing: Have your agent publish text, image, video, carousel, quote, poll, ghost, GIF, or text-attachment posts, and optionally share them as Instagram Stories.
- Conversation management: Let the agent reply to posts, list replies and mentions, review pending replies, and hide or unhide replies on posts you manage.
- Public content discovery: Direct your agent to search posts by keyword or topic tag, look up public profiles, browse their posts, and find locations for post tagging.
- Profile and post analytics: Instruct your agent to retrieve profile insights, post engagement metrics, publishing limits, and your profile details.
- Content maintenance: Have your agent list your posts, replies, ghost posts, and reposts, then delete posts or repost content when needed.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `THREADS_CREATE_AND_SHARE_POST` | Create and Share Post | Create and publish a top-level Threads post and cross-share it to the linked Instagram account as a Story. Returns crossreshare_to_ig_status to report whether the Story cross-share succeeded independently of Threads publication. |

| `THREADS_LIST_MY_MENTIONS` | List My Mentions | List public Threads posts that mention the connected profile, one cursor page at a time. With development access, Threads may return only mentions made by app testers, so an empty page does not prove that no public mentions exist. |
| `THREADS_LIST_MY_POSTS` | List My Posts | List posts created by the connected Threads profile, one cursor page at a time. |
| `THREADS_LIST_MY_REPLIES` | List My Replies | List replies created by the connected Threads profile, one cursor page at a time. |
| `THREADS_LIST_PENDING_REPLIES` | List Pending Replies | List one page of pending or ignored replies for an owned Threads post. The post must have been created with reply approvals enabled. |
| `THREADS_LIST_POST_REPLIES` | List Post Replies | Return either immediate replies or the flattened full conversation for a Threads post, one cursor page at a time. |
| `THREADS_LIST_PUBLIC_PROFILE_POSTS` | List Public Profile Posts | List one cursor page of posts from a qualifying public Threads profile by exact username. Standard or unreviewed app access is restricted to selected official Meta accounts, and returned post IDs may not support direct retrieval until the app has advanced access. |
| `THREADS_LOOKUP_PUBLIC_PROFILE` | Lookup Public Profile | Look up a qualifying public Threads profile by exact username. Profiles generally need at least 100 followers, and standard or unreviewed app access is restricted to selected official Meta accounts. |
| `THREADS_REPOST_POST` | Repost Post | Repost an existing Threads post to the connected profile; this creates a visible post. |
| `THREADS_REVIEW_PENDING_REPLY` | Review Pending Reply | Approve or ignore one pending reply; an ignored reply can later be approved. |
| `THREADS_SEARCH_LOCATIONS` | Search Locations | Search Threads locations by text, coordinates, or both. Returns the provider-ranked unpaginated result set. |
| `THREADS_SEARCH_POSTS` | Search Posts | Search one page of Threads posts by keyword or topic tag. Broader public results require Meta advanced access, so an empty page may reflect app-review limits rather than no public matches. |
| `THREADS_SET_REPLY_VISIBILITY` | Set Reply Visibility | Hide or unhide a top-level reply and its nested replies on a post managed by the connected profile. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Threads MCP?

With a standalone Threads MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Threads tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Threads and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with ChatGPT?

Yes, you can. ChatGPT fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Threads tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Threads while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Threads scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Threads data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
