claude mcp add --transport http postiz https://mcp.postiz.com/mcp-oauth-dynamic

# Or install the Postiz skill instead
npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent
export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Then ask Claude Code:
> Post the v2.4 release notes from
  CHANGELOG.md to our #announcements Discord
  channel, tomorrow at 10am

Claude Code: Done! Discord message scheduled
  in #announcements for tomorrow at 10:00 AM.

Discord limits and gotchas to know

Discord messages through Postiz go to a specific channel, so a couple of details matter.

✓channel is required and is a Discord channel ID. Claude Code can list the channels available to your Postiz bot and pick the right one.
✓Discord messages are limited to 2,000 characters. Claude Code keeps drafts under that limit when it knows the target is Discord.
✓Media is uploaded through Postiz, so reference a local file or URL.
✓The Postiz bot must be invited to the server and have permission to post in the channel you target.

What is Claude Code?

Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal. It handles software engineering tasks — writing features, fixing bugs, and answering questions about your codebase — and it can run shell commands and MCP tools like Postiz.

Not the same as Claude Cowork (Anthropic's desktop agent for knowledge workers) or the Postiz connector for Claude.ai (chat in the browser or desktop app). Claude Code runs in your terminal and IDE and can read your repository while it writes Discord posts.

💻

Terminal & IDE Native

Claude Code runs in your terminal, with extensions for VS Code and JetBrains. You type what you want in plain English and it handles Postiz for you.

🔧

Agentic Execution

Claude Code plans and works through multi-step tasks on its own — discovering channels, uploading media, and scheduling posts — and asks for permission before it acts.

⚡

Parallel Tasks

Run several Claude Code sessions side by side, or spawn subagents in one. Schedule posts to different platforms while it handles other coding work.

How Postiz Works with Claude Code

Claude Code discovers Postiz through the Postiz skill or the Postiz MCP server. It reads the SKILL.md (or the MCP tool list) to learn what it can do, then chains calls together for social media workflows.

✓Install the Postiz skill, or add the Postiz MCP server with claude mcp add
✓Claude Code discovers the Postiz tools over MCP, or reads SKILL.md when you use the skill
✓MCP route: sign in with OAuth, no API key. Skill route: set POSTIZ_API_KEY
✓Claude Code asks for permission before running commands
✓Works alongside your coding tasks in parallel

Install Postiz

# Option A: add the Postiz MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http postiz https://mcp.postiz.com/mcp-oauth-dynamic

# Option B: install the Postiz skill
npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent
export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Then just ask
claude "list my social media integrations"

Discord Messaging with Claude Code

Tell Claude Code what to post from your terminal or IDE — it discovers your integrations via Postiz and handles the entire publishing workflow.

💻

Just Ask Claude Code

Terminal and IDE integration

Tell Claude Code what to post from your terminal or IDE — it discovers your integrations via Postiz and handles the entire publishing workflow.

Claude Code CLI

$ claude "Post to Discord about our
  new feature launch, schedule for
  tomorrow at 9am"

Claude Code: I'll handle that.
  Found your Discord integration.
  Composing and scheduling the post.

  Done! Your post is scheduled.
  Post ID: abc-123

💻

Parallel Tasks

Multiple tasks at once

Claude Code runs headless with claude -p, so several tasks can run in parallel. Schedule posts to different platforms while it works on other coding tasks.

Claude Code Parallel Tasks

# Run multiple posting tasks in parallel
$ claude -p "Schedule a post about our
  launch to X for tomorrow 9am" &

$ claude -p "Write a LinkedIn article
  about our new feature and schedule
  for tomorrow noon" &

$ claude -p "Fix the bug in auth.ts"

# All three tasks run simultaneously

Why Claude Code + Postiz for Discord

Claude Code's autonomous execution makes Postiz a natural fit. The agent reads the SKILL.md to understand every available command, then autonomously chains them together for Discord workflows.

✓Runs in your terminal or IDE — just type what you want
✓Permission-based execution — you stay in control
✓Parallel task support — post while coding
✓Reads SKILL.md for automatic command discovery
✓Cross-post to Discord + other platforms in a single session
✓Powered by Claude — Anthropic's most capable models

Discord and Claude Code: frequently asked questions

How do I post to a Discord channel from Claude Code?

Add the Postiz MCP server to Claude Code, sign in to Postiz with OAuth, and connect your Discord server in Postiz. Then name the channel and the message. Claude Code resolves the channel ID, drafts the text, uploads any media, and sends or schedules the message through Postiz.

Can Claude Code post deploy or release notifications to Discord automatically?

Yes. Use headless mode, claude -p, at the end of a deploy job or release workflow. Claude Code can read the git log or changelog, write a short message, and send it to your Discord channel through Postiz before exiting. The Postiz MCP server or skill must be configured on the CI machine.

How does Claude Code know which Discord channel to use?

The Discord channel setting is a channel ID, not a name. Ask Claude Code which channels Postiz can post to and it lists them, then maps your channel name to the ID. If several channels match, it asks before sending, and it always requests permission before a message goes out.

Can Claude Code attach images to Discord messages through Postiz?

Yes. Reference a screenshot or image file in your repo and Claude Code uploads it through Postiz and attaches it to the Discord message. Keep the text under Discord's 2,000-character limit; for longer release notes, ask for a summary with a link to the full changelog.
