Automate Hashnode with Gemini CLI

Queue Hashnode 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 Hashnode 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 Hashnode

Hashnode commands it can verify

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

Windows that fit Hashnode

Tell Gemini CLI when your readers are most active and it schedules articles into that window on Hashnode, day after day, without reminders.

Long-form arrives intact

Gemini CLI hands postqueen the full draft, formatting included, and it lands on your Hashnode blogs 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 Hashnode until you do.

Three steps to a full queue

Step 1

Discover Hashnode

Gemini CLI calls postqueen to list your connected blogs and sees what Hashnode supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.

Step 2

Draft with Gemini CLI

Give it the brief. The agent writes Hashnode-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 Hashnode 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 Hashnode to postqueen?

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

Can Gemini CLI schedule Hashnode 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 Hashnode 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 Hashnode and other channels too?

Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Gemini CLI can turn the same brief into Hashnode 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 Hashnode scheduling for free?

Yes. All postqueen cloud plans start with a 7-day free trial and unlimited posts, cancel anytime. Prefer self-hosting? The open source version is free and ships with the same Hashnode integration.

What do I need to connect Hashnode to postqueen?

A personal access token from your Hashnode developer settings. postqueen publishes through Hashnode's official GraphQL API to the blog you choose, whether it lives on a hashnode.dev address or your own custom domain. Setup is a one-time connect flow.
