# Connect Blotato

> Authorize Blotato's hosted MCP for governed publishing, engagement, analytics, automation, media, and scheduling.

Blotato is an ApexGenius private-preview connection. ApexGenius is implementing its hosted MCP with the OAuth 2.1 metadata currently advertised by the live endpoint.

## What you need

* A paid Blotato subscription with API access
* The social accounts you intend to operate already connected in Blotato
* Permission to publish, message, automate, or spend credits on those accounts
* ApexGenius private-preview access

## Connect Blotato

1. In ApexGenius, open **Connections**.
2. Select **Blotato**.
3. Choose **Connect Blotato**.
4. Review the requested access and complete OAuth.
5. Return to ApexGenius and enable the connected Blotato account resource.
6. Start with `blotato_search_tools`, then review each `blotato_call_tool` request.

Blotato's catalog includes public publishing, scheduling, comments, direct messages, analytics, automations, external webhooks, deletion, media generation and upload, calendar operations, and credit actions. ApexGenius labels every generic Blotato call as write-capable so compatible AI clients can request confirmation. The first release scopes the whole connected Blotato account; per-social-account enforcement is a recorded follow-up gate.

<Warning>
  **OAuth contract still needs a real smoke test.**

  Blotato's setup guide documents the `blotato-api-key` header, while the live MCP endpoint advertises OAuth 2.1. ApexGenius will not activate the provider until Blotato confirms the production contract and a real account completes OAuth, resource discovery, and a harmless read. Do not generate an API key just for testing because Blotato says that action ends the free trial and starts a paid subscription.
</Warning>
