Schedule a post about this week’s release for Thursday 10am on X and Bluesky.
Post to social media from Gemini CLI
Google’s Gemini CLI can schedule posts from your terminal.
- Sign in, or use a key.
- gemini mcp add
Just ask
Tell Gemini CLI what to post, where and when, in plain words. It writes it and schedules it.
See it first
You get the post back as a card with its time. Move it or cancel it before it goes out.
Posts on time
Honkpost publishes at the time you set, with Gemini CLI closed. Nothing to keep open.
Makes the image too
Ask for a picture and it makes or edits one for the post, paid in the image credits that come with your plan.
3 steps. Then just ask.
- Gemini CLI installed
- A Honkpost account with a channel connected

Written from Gemini CLI MCP docs (2026-10-23). Apps move their menus. If a step doesn't match, tell us at support@honkpost.com.
Add Honkpost
Run this in your shell, not inside Gemini. -s user makes it work in every project.
gemini mcp add --transport http -s user honkpost https://honkpost.com/api/mcp
Sign in
Start gemini and run this. Sign in to Honkpost in the browser and click Allow.
/mcp auth honkpost
Rather use a key?
Make one in Connect AI and add Honkpost with it instead.
gemini mcp add --transport http -s user honkpost https://honkpost.com/api/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer PASTE_YOUR_HONKPOST_KEY"
This is the Gemini CLI. The Gemini web app isn’t covered here.
If it goes wrong
It says Unauthorized. The connection was unplugged, or the key is wrong. Connect again from Connect AI.
It can’t see a channel. It only sees channels connected in Honkpost. Connect it in Settings → Channels. AI apps can’t do that part.
Your AI writes it. We post it.
Once Gemini CLI is connected, posting is a sentence. Here's what happens after you send it.

Done. I wrote it and scheduled it. Here it is:
Say it like you’d say it to a person
Gemini CLI turns "Schedule a post about this week’s release for Thursday 10am on X and Bluesky." into a finished post on the right channels at the right time.
Nothing goes out unchecked
Every post comes back as a card: the text, the picture, the channel and the time. Change your mind and move it or cancel it.
One link. Every channel.
Connect your accounts in Honkpost once. From then on Gemini CLI can post to any of them.
See every channelClose the app. It still posts.
Scheduled posts live in Honkpost, not in the chat. They go out at their time whether the app is open or not.
Ask for the picture too
Describe it, or hand over a photo to edit. The image lands in your media library and on the post.

Let Gemini CLI do the posting.
Connect it once. Then posting is a sentence, and Honkpost handles the rest.
