X commands it can verify
Gemini CLI runs postqueen and reads the JSON back, so it can confirm which X posts exist and at what times instead of reporting success it did not check.
XAutomate X with Gemini CLI
Queue X 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 X 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 X
Windows that fit X
Tell Gemini CLI when your followers are most active and it schedules posts into that window on X, day after day, without reminders.
Media attached, sized right
Images upload in the same postqueen call, so X 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 X until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover X
Gemini CLI calls postqueen to list your connected accounts and sees what X supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with Gemini CLI
Give it the brief. The agent writes X-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 X allows
Gemini CLI reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.
- Post length
- 280 characters on a standard account, up to 25,000 characters with X Premium
- Media per post
- Up to 4 images, or 1 GIF, or 1 video (images and GIFs cannot be mixed)
- Video length
- Up to 2 minutes 20 seconds on a standard account, longer for Premium subscribers
- Threads
- Chain any number of posts, published in order as native replies
- Alt text
- Up to 1,000 characters of image description per attachment
- API access
- Publishing runs on the official X API, so self-hosted installs connect with their own X developer app

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does Gemini CLI connect X to postqueen?
Over MCP, registered once in Gemini CLI's own config so the X tools are there in every session. It also runs commands, so the CLI covers the same X posts when you would rather script them; both use the same API key.
Can Gemini CLI schedule X 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 X 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 X and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Gemini CLI can turn the same brief into X 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 self-host X scheduling, and is there a free trial?
Both. Every cloud plan starts with a 7-day free trial and you can cancel anytime. The open source version is free to self-host with Docker, and for X you register your own developer app so the connection runs on API access you control.
Which X formats can postqueen schedule?
Single posts, threads, images, GIFs and native video. You compose once, preview how the post will look, and postqueen publishes it in X's native format at the scheduled time.
