Gemini CLI + PostQueen - Add PostQueen with one command - Write, schedule and check posts on 30+ networks - Free with a personal Google account [Start 7-day trial for $0](https://app.postqueen.ai/auth?utm_source=postqueen.ai&utm_medium=landing&utm_campaign=trial&utm_content=agent-hero) [See the setup prompt](https://postqueen.ai/gemini-cli#setup) Every post waits on your calendar first. Checked on September 25, 2026. Setup ## Connect Gemini CLI in about a minute. 1 Connect about a minute ### Run this in your terminal One command adds PostQueen’s tools to Gemini CLI. terminal ``` gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user \ postqueen https://api.postqueen.ai/mcp/YOUR_API_KEY ``` Start Gemini CLI and type /mcp to see the PostQueen tools. Once connected - Write and schedule posts on 30+ networks - Make AI images and video for them - See how your posts did over 7, 30 or 90 days 2 Ask live in PostQueen ### Ask Gemini CLI to post for you Once connected, Gemini CLI calls PostQueen’s tools. Posts go out at the time you set, even after you close the chat. Also try - List my PostQueen channels - What is scheduled this week? - How did last month’s posts do? 1. In PostQueen, open Connections, then API Keys, and copy your key. Only workspace admins can see it. 2. Run the command from the box. 3. Start Gemini CLI and type `/mcp` to see the PostQueen tools. ### Good to know - The default scope is project (`.gemini/settings.json`); `--scope user` writes `~/.gemini/settings.json`. - The command writes `"url"` with `"type": "http"`, which works. The older key is `httpUrl`. - Header form: `gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" postqueen https://api.postqueen.ai/mcp` ## One message, every channel. Your calendar first. Gemini CLI writes the posts. PostQueen puts each one on your calendar, where you can change anything, and publishes it at its time on every network you connected. ### You ask Gemini CLI Make a short video about our new feature for TikTok, Reels and Shorts on Friday at 6pm ### It lands on your calendar ### It goes out everywhere - [Instagram](https://postqueen.ai/channels/instagram) - [TikTok](https://postqueen.ai/channels/tiktok) - [YouTube](https://postqueen.ai/channels/youtube) - [X](https://postqueen.ai/channels/x) - [LinkedIn](https://postqueen.ai/channels/linkedin) - [Facebook](https://postqueen.ai/channels/facebook) - [Threads](https://postqueen.ai/channels/threads) - [Pinterest](https://postqueen.ai/channels/pinterest) - [Reddit](https://postqueen.ai/channels/reddit) - [Bluesky](https://postqueen.ai/channels/bluesky) - [Discord](https://postqueen.ai/channels/discord) - [Slack](https://postqueen.ai/channels/slack) And 19 more, including Mastodon, Telegram, WordPress and Google Business. - [Mastodon](https://postqueen.ai/channels/mastodon) - [Telegram](https://postqueen.ai/channels/telegram) - [WordPress](https://postqueen.ai/channels/wordpress) - [Google Business Profile](https://postqueen.ai/channels/google-business) - [Dribbble](https://postqueen.ai/channels/dribbble) - [Tumblr](https://postqueen.ai/channels/tumblr) - [Twitch](https://postqueen.ai/channels/twitch) - [Kick](https://postqueen.ai/channels/kick) - [DEV (dev.to)](https://postqueen.ai/channels/devto) - [Hashnode](https://postqueen.ai/channels/hashnode) - [VK](https://postqueen.ai/channels/vk) - [MeWe](https://postqueen.ai/channels/mewe) - [Lemmy](https://postqueen.ai/channels/lemmy) - [Nostr](https://postqueen.ai/channels/nostr) - [Farcaster](https://postqueen.ai/channels/farcaster) - [Listmonk](https://postqueen.ai/channels/listmonk) - [Whop](https://postqueen.ai/channels/whop) - [Skool](https://postqueen.ai/channels/skool) - [Moltbook](https://postqueen.ai/channels/moltbook) [See all 30+ networks](https://postqueen.ai/channels) Ideas by who you are ## What can you ask Gemini CLI to post?

Use the key address from the box. ### PostQueen is missing in another folder The default scope is project. Add it again with `--scope user`. ### A guide says your `url` setting is wrong `url` with `"type": "http"` works. `httpUrl` is the older key. ### The key is rejected Copy it again from Connections > API Keys. Only workspace admins see it. ## Gemini CLI questions, answered. Anything else? Write to [support@postqueen.ai](mailto:support@postqueen.ai) and a person answers. ### Which plans can use Gemini CLI? Gemini CLI is free with a personal Google account, up to 60 requests a minute and 1,000 a day. On the PostQueen side, every plan includes MCP. ### Where does it work? Terminal on macOS 15+, Windows 11 24H2+ and Ubuntu 20.04+, with Node 20+ ### Anything to watch out for? The default scope is project (.gemini/settings.json); --scope user writes ~/.gemini/settings.json. ### Can Gemini CLI post without me seeing it first? Only if you ask it to schedule.

Either way every post lands on the calendar first, where you can edit or delete it until it goes out. ### Does it cost extra? No. Connecting an agent is included in every plan and posts are unlimited. After the 7-day trial, Pro is $49 a month, or $33 a month billed yearly.
