Quick start

Drop the MCP config into your project and Cursor's agent gets Dev.to scheduling as a native tool.

What Cursor can run on Dev.to

Dev.to updates beside your code

Cursor's agent can read the repo and the changelog, then turn them into scheduled Dev.to articles over MCP without you leaving the editor.

Windows that fit Dev.to

Tell Cursor when your readers are most active and it schedules articles into that window on Dev.to, day after day, without reminders.

Long-form arrives intact

Cursor hands postqueen the full draft, formatting included, and it lands on your Dev.to profiles as complete articles, ready for readers.

Drafts until you are ready

Ask Cursor 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 Dev.to until you do.

Three steps to a full queue

Step 1

Discover Dev.to

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

Step 2

Draft with Cursor

Give it the brief. The agent writes Dev.to-shaped articles 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 Cursor can pull the results after.

What Dev.to allows

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

Frequently asked questions

How does Cursor connect Dev.to to postqueen?

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

Can Cursor schedule Dev.to articles at exact times?

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

Will Cursor publish to Dev.to on its own?

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

Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Cursor can turn the same brief into Dev.to articles plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.

Does Cursor 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.

What analytics do I get for Dev.to articles?

Dev.to shows views, reactions and comments per article on its own dashboard. postqueen keeps the cross-channel picture: what went out, when, and what is queued next, so you can line article publishing up with the rest of your calendar.

Why would a scheduled Dev.to article fail to publish?

The usual causes are an API key that was revoked or regenerated, more than 4 tags on the article, or tag names the platform rejects. postqueen surfaces the API error on the post so you can fix the draft and retry instead of digging through logs.
