Medium commands it can verify
Gemini CLI runs postqueen and reads the JSON back, so it can confirm which Medium stories exist and at what times instead of reporting success it did not check.
MediumAutomate Medium with Gemini CLI
Queue Medium stories 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 Medium stories 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 Medium
Windows that fit Medium
Tell Gemini CLI when your readers are most active and it schedules stories into that window on Medium, day after day, without reminders.
Long-form arrives intact
Gemini CLI hands postqueen the full draft, formatting included, and it lands on your Medium publications as complete stories, 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 Medium until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover Medium
Gemini CLI calls postqueen to list your connected publications and sees what Medium supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with Gemini CLI
Give it the brief. The agent writes Medium-shaped stories and proposes publish times that match when your readers 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 Medium allows
Gemini CLI reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does Gemini CLI connect Medium to postqueen?
Over MCP, registered once in Gemini CLI's own config so the Medium tools are there in every session. It also runs commands, so the CLI covers the same Medium stories when you would rather script them; both use the same API key.
Can Gemini CLI schedule Medium stories at exact times?
Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the stories it creates, so your readers see them at the right moment.
Will Gemini CLI publish to Medium on its own?
Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the stories 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 Medium and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Gemini CLI can turn the same brief into Medium stories 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.
Is there a free way to try Medium scheduling?
Yes. Every postqueen cloud plan comes with a 7-day free trial with unlimited posts, and you can cancel anytime. The open source version is also free to self-host if you want to run everything on your own infrastructure.
What do I need to connect Medium to postqueen?
An integration token, which you create in your Medium account settings. postqueen uses it to publish through the official API under your profile at the exact time you schedule. No password sharing and no browser automation involved.
