Automate WordPress with Gemini CLI

Queue WordPress 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 WordPress 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 WordPress

WordPress commands it can verify

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

Windows that fit WordPress

Tell Gemini CLI when your sites are busiest and it schedules articles into that window on WordPress, day after day, without reminders.

Long-form arrives intact

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

Three steps to a full queue

Step 1

Discover WordPress

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

Step 2

Draft with Gemini CLI

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

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

Can Gemini CLI schedule WordPress 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, keeping your sites active on a steady rhythm.

Will Gemini CLI publish to WordPress 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 WordPress and other channels too?

Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Gemini CLI can turn the same brief into WordPress 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.

Is there a free way to try WordPress scheduling?

Yes. Every cloud plan starts with a 7-day free trial, unlimited posts included, cancel anytime. And since postqueen is open source like WordPress itself, you can self-host it for free and keep the whole pipeline on your own servers.

Which WordPress sites work with postqueen?

Any WordPress site whose REST API is reachable from the internet, which covers most modern installs. You connect with your site URL, a username and an application password created in your WordPress profile, so there is no plugin to install and no password sharing.
