Automate Medium with Claude

Ask Claude for Medium stories and it schedules them through postqueen. Add the connector once on the web and the same tools answer on your phone.

Quick start

Add postqueen as a connector on claude.ai and Medium scheduling is available in every chat, including the phone apps.

# Then ask:
# "Draft three Medium stories for this
# week and put them on the calendar"

What Claude can run on Medium

Medium from any device

The connector belongs to your Claude account rather than a machine, so the same Medium tools answer on the web, on the desktop and in the phone apps.

Windows that fit Medium

Tell Claude when your readers are most active and it schedules stories into that window on Medium, day after day, without reminders.

Long-form arrives intact

Claude hands postqueen the full draft, formatting included, and it lands on your Medium publications as complete stories, ready for readers.

Drafts until you are ready

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

Three steps to a full queue

Step 1

Discover Medium

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

Step 2

Draft with Claude

Give it the brief. The agent writes Medium-shaped stories and proposes publish times that match when your readers 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 can pull the results after.

What Medium allows

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

F.A.Q.

Frequently asked questions

How does Claude connect Medium to postqueen?

Over MCP, as a custom connector added once on claude.ai. Claude has no terminal, so there is no CLI to install: the connector carries your API key and the Medium tools then answer in the desktop and phone apps too.

Can Claude schedule Medium stories at exact times?

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

Will Claude publish to Medium on its own?

Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the stories 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 Medium and other channels too?

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

Does Claude 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.

Why would a scheduled Medium story fail to publish?

The most common causes are an integration token that was revoked or regenerated, a missing title, or more tags than the platform accepts. postqueen shows the error on the affected post so you can correct it and retry in a couple of clicks.

Is there a free way to try Medium scheduling?

Yes. Every postqueen cloud plan comes with a 7-day free trial with unlimited posts, and you can cancel anytime. The open source version is also free to self-host if you want to run everything on your own infrastructure.
