Automate Dev.to with Gemini CLI

Queue Dev.to articles 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 Dev.to articles in plain language.

MCP supported
Terminal or settings.json
npm install -g postqueen
export 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 Dev.to

Dev.to commands it can verify

Gemini CLI runs postqueen and reads the JSON back, so it can confirm which Dev.to articles exist and at what times instead of reporting success it did not check.

Windows that fit Dev.to

Tell Gemini CLI 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

Gemini CLI 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 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 readers on Dev.to until you do.

Three steps to a full queue

Step 1

Discover Dev.to

Gemini CLI 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 Gemini CLI

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 Gemini CLI can pull the results after.

What Dev.to allows

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

Frequently asked questions

How does Gemini CLI connect Dev.to to postqueen?

Over MCP, registered once in Gemini CLI'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 Gemini CLI 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 Gemini CLI 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 Gemini CLI can turn the same brief into Dev.to articles 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 Dev.to scheduling for free?

Yes. Every postqueen cloud plan starts with a 7-day free trial and you can cancel anytime. If you prefer full control, the open source version is free to self-host and includes the Dev.to integration.

What do I need to connect Dev.to to postqueen?

Just a personal API key, which you generate in your Dev.to account settings. postqueen publishes through the official API, so there is no browser automation and nothing fragile. Once connected, every scheduled article posts under your own profile.
