Automate Twitch with Gemini CLI

Queue Twitch clips and updates 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 Twitch clips 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 Twitch

Twitch commands it can verify

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

Windows that fit Twitch

Tell Gemini CLI when your followers are most active and it schedules clips into that window on Twitch, day after day, without reminders.

Native video, native timing

Video uploads travel through the same postqueen call, so Gemini CLI ships Twitch clips and updates 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 Twitch until you do.

Three steps to a full queue

Step 1

Discover Twitch

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

Step 2

Draft with Gemini CLI

Give it the brief. The agent writes Twitch-shaped clips and updates and proposes publish times that match when your followers 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 Twitch 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 Twitch to postqueen?

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

Can Gemini CLI schedule Twitch clips at exact times?

Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the clips it creates, so your followers see them at the right moment.

Will Gemini CLI publish to Twitch on its own?

Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the clips 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 Twitch and other channels too?

Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Gemini CLI can turn the same brief into Twitch clips and updates 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 trial for Twitch scheduling?

Yes. Every cloud plan starts with a 7-day free trial and unlimited posts, and you can cancel anytime. Self-hosting the open source version with Docker is free.

What can postqueen actually schedule on Twitch?

The setup and the promotion around a stream: the title and category for each broadcast, chat announcements, and clips pushed out to your other channels. Twitch is not a feed network, so postqueen handles the work that surrounds the stream rather than pretending it can post into one.
