Automate Threads with Claude Code

Queue Threads posts from your terminal. Claude Code drives postqueen over MCP or the CLI, so scheduling happens in the session you already have open.

Quick start

Register the postqueen MCP server once and Threads scheduling becomes a tool Claude Code can call. The plain CLI works too.

MCP supported
Terminal
# Add the postqueen MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http postqueen \
  https://api.postqueen.ai/mcp/YOUR_API_KEY
 
# Then ask in your session:
# "Queue three Threads posts for this
#  week, mornings at 9"

What Claude Code can run on Threads

Threads tools in your terminal

Over MCP, scheduling and analytics show up as first-class tools. Over the CLI, every command returns JSON that Claude Code can chain reliably for Threads.

Windows that fit Threads

Tell Claude Code when your followers are most active and it schedules posts into that window on Threads, day after day, without reminders.

Media attached, sized right

Images upload in the same postqueen call, so Threads posts arrive with their media in place instead of a bare link.

Drafts until you are ready

Ask Claude Code for drafts only. They sit on the postqueen calendar unscheduled, so you can edit them and pick the time yourself, and nothing reaches your followers on Threads until you do.

Three steps to a full queue

Step 1

Discover Threads

Claude Code calls postqueen to list your connected profiles and sees what Threads supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.

Step 2

Draft with Claude Code

Give it the brief. The agent writes Threads-shaped posts and proposes publish times that match when your followers are around.

Step 3

Check and publish

Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and Claude Code can pull the results after.

What Threads allows

Claude Code reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.

Post length
Up to 500 characters per post
Video length
Up to 5 minutes per video
Carousels
2 to 20 images or videos in one post
Topic tags
One tag per post (Threads uses topic tags instead of classic hashtags)
API publishing
Up to 250 API-published posts per profile per 24 hours
Account
A Threads profile, created with an Instagram account

Frequently asked questions

How does Claude Code connect Threads to postqueen?

Over MCP, registered once in Claude Code's own config so the Threads tools are there in every session. It also runs commands, so the CLI covers the same Threads posts when you would rather script them; both use the same API key.

Can Claude Code schedule Threads posts at exact times?

Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the posts it creates, so your followers see them at the right moment.

Will Claude Code publish to Threads on its own?

Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the posts wait on the calendar until you set a time. Tell it to schedule, and they go out at the times you can see, which is the setup most people move to once they trust the output.

Can one brief cover Threads and other channels too?

Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Claude Code can turn the same brief into Threads posts plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.

Does Claude Code access cost extra on postqueen?

No. The agent uses your regular API key and plan limits: unlimited posts on every plan, and channel counts from 5 on Creator up to uncapped on Ultimate.

When is the best time to post on Threads?

There is no universal best hour: it depends on when your own followers are active. Pick consistent slots, schedule a few weeks ahead, then check analytics and shift your queue toward the times that earn replies.

Can I cross-post the same content to X, Bluesky and Mastodon?

Yes. Write the post once, select all the channels, and postqueen fans it out with per-network tweaks. Threads allows 500 characters, so you can shorten the versions headed to networks with tighter limits before anything goes live.
