Threads commands it can verify
Gemini CLI runs postqueen and reads the JSON back, so it can confirm which Threads posts exist and at what times instead of reporting success it did not check.
ThreadsAutomate Threads with Gemini CLI
Queue Threads 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 Threads 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 Threads
Windows that fit Threads
Tell Gemini CLI when your followers are most active and it schedules posts into that window on Threads, day after day, without reminders.
Media attached, sized right
Images upload in the same postqueen call, so Threads 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 Threads until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover Threads
Gemini CLI calls postqueen to list your connected profiles and sees what Threads supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with Gemini CLI
Give it the brief. The agent writes Threads-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 Threads allows
Gemini CLI reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.
- Post length
- Up to 500 characters per post
- Video length
- Up to 5 minutes per video
- Carousels
- 2 to 20 images or videos in one post
- Topic tags
- One tag per post (Threads uses topic tags instead of classic hashtags)
- API publishing
- Up to 250 API-published posts per profile per 24 hours
- Account
- A Threads profile, created with an Instagram account

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does Gemini CLI connect Threads to postqueen?
Over MCP, registered once in Gemini CLI's own config so the Threads tools are there in every session. It also runs commands, so the CLI covers the same Threads posts when you would rather script them; both use the same API key.
Can Gemini CLI schedule Threads 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 Threads 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 Threads and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Gemini CLI can turn the same brief into Threads 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 Threads scheduling for free?
Yes. Every postqueen cloud plan starts with a 7-day free trial and you can cancel anytime. If you would rather run it yourself, the open source version is free to self-host with the official Docker image.
What Threads formats can postqueen schedule?
Text posts up to 500 characters, single photos, carousels with multiple images or videos, and clips up to 5 minutes. You can also compose multi-part threads in order and postqueen publishes them as one connected chain on your profile.
