TikTok commands it can verify
Gemini CLI runs postqueen and reads the JSON back, so it can confirm which TikTok videos exist and at what times instead of reporting success it did not check.
TikTokAutomate TikTok with Gemini CLI
Queue TikTok videos 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 TikTok videos 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 TikTok
Windows that fit TikTok
Tell Gemini CLI when your followers are most active and it schedules videos into that window on TikTok, day after day, without reminders.
Native video, native timing
Video uploads travel through the same postqueen call, so Gemini CLI ships TikTok videos with real media attached and the publish time already set.
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 TikTok until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover TikTok
Gemini CLI calls postqueen to list your connected accounts and sees what TikTok supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with Gemini CLI
Give it the brief. The agent writes TikTok-shaped videos 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 TikTok allows
Gemini CLI reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.
- Caption length
- Up to 2,200 characters per video caption when publishing through the API
- Video length
- Up to 10 minutes for most accounts
- Aspect ratio
- Vertical 9:16, with 1080 x 1920 the recommended upload size
- Photo posts
- Up to 35 images in one photo post
- Post settings
- Every API upload sets a privacy level plus comment, duet and stitch permissions
- App review
- TikTok only allows public direct posting from audited apps, so a self-hosted app posts privately until it is approved

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does Gemini CLI connect TikTok to postqueen?
Over MCP, registered once in Gemini CLI's own config so the TikTok tools are there in every session. It also runs commands, so the CLI covers the same TikTok videos when you would rather script them; both use the same API key.
Can Gemini CLI schedule TikTok videos at exact times?
Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the videos it creates, so your followers see them at the right moment.
Will Gemini CLI publish to TikTok on its own?
Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the videos 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 TikTok and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Gemini CLI can turn the same brief into TikTok videos 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 self-host TikTok scheduling, and is there a free trial?
Both. Every cloud plan starts with a 7-day free trial and you can cancel anytime. Self-hosting the open source version is free with Docker; for TikTok you register your own app in TikTok's developer portal, and note that TikTok only allows public direct posting from apps that have passed its audit, so a fresh self-hosted app posts privately until approval comes through.
Which TikTok formats can postqueen schedule?
Vertical videos and photo posts. You upload the file, write the caption, set the privacy and interaction options, and postqueen publishes it on your account at the scheduled time.
