Bluesky commands it can verify
Gemini CLI runs postqueen and reads the JSON back, so it can confirm which Bluesky posts exist and at what times instead of reporting success it did not check.
BlueskyAutomate Bluesky with Gemini CLI
Queue Bluesky posts from the terminal. Gemini CLI runs every postqueen command and reads the JSON back, so it can check what it scheduled.
Quick start
Run the postqueen CLI directly, or add the MCP endpoint to your Gemini CLI settings and ask for Bluesky posts in plain language.
MCP supportedTerminal or settings.json
npm install -g postqueenexport POSTQUEEN_API_KEY=your_api_key # Or MCP, in your Gemini CLI settings:# { "mcpServers": { "postqueen": {# "url": "https://api.postqueen.ai/mcp/KEY"# } } }What Gemini CLI can run on Bluesky
Windows that fit Bluesky
Tell Gemini CLI when your followers are most active and it schedules posts into that window on Bluesky, day after day, without reminders.
Media attached, sized right
Images upload in the same postqueen call, so Bluesky posts arrive with their media in place instead of a bare link.
Drafts until you are ready
Ask Gemini CLI 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 Bluesky until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover Bluesky
Gemini CLI calls postqueen to list your connected accounts and sees what Bluesky supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with Gemini CLI
Give it the brief. The agent writes Bluesky-shaped posts and proposes publish times that match when your followers are around.
Check and publish
Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and Gemini CLI can pull the results after.
What Bluesky allows
Gemini CLI reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.
- Post length
- 300 characters per post
- Images
- Up to 4 per post, with alt text support
- Image size
- About 1 MB per image (larger uploads are compressed)
- Video
- Up to 3 minutes per post

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does Gemini CLI connect Bluesky to postqueen?
Over MCP, registered once in Gemini CLI's own config so the Bluesky tools are there in every session. It also runs commands, so the CLI covers the same Bluesky posts when you would rather script them; both use the same API key.
Can Gemini CLI schedule Bluesky 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 Gemini CLI publish to Bluesky 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 Bluesky and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Gemini CLI can turn the same brief into Bluesky posts plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.
Does Gemini CLI 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.
Can I try Bluesky scheduling for free?
Yes. Every cloud plan includes a 7-day free trial with unlimited posts, and you can cancel anytime. Self-hosting the open source version is free forever.
What Bluesky formats can postqueen schedule?
Text posts up to 300 characters, galleries of up to 4 images with alt text, video, and posts that carry link cards. You can also compose full threads and postqueen publishes them as a native reply chain.
