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 Google My Business 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"

  Found your GMB 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 Google My Business

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 GMB 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
✓Automatically select STANDARD, EVENT, or OFFER based on your message
✓Cross-post to GMB + other platforms in a single session
✓Powered by Claude — Anthropic's most capable models

Google My Business and Claude Code: frequently asked questions

How do I post to Google My Business from Claude Code?

Add the Postiz MCP server to Claude Code, sign in to Postiz with OAuth, and connect your Google Business Profile in Postiz. Then describe the update, event, or offer. Claude Code sets topicType and the matching fields, adds a call-to-action button if you asked for one, and schedules or publishes the post.

Can Claude Code create Google My Business event posts?

Yes. Give it the event name, dates, and times and Claude Code sets topicType to EVENT with eventTitle, eventStartDate, eventEndDate, and the optional start and end times in HH:MM format. Add a Book or Sign up button by naming it, and Claude Code fills callToActionType and callToActionUrl.

Can Claude Code publish an offer with a coupon code?

Yes. Ask for an offer and include the coupon code, redemption URL, and terms. Claude Code sets topicType to OFFER and fills offerCouponCode, offerRedeemUrl, and offerTerms. Offers are a good fit for seasonal promotions and can be scheduled to go live on a specific date.

Which call-to-action buttons can Claude Code add to a GMB post?

Eight options: NONE, BOOK, ORDER, SHOP, LEARN_MORE, SIGN_UP, GET_OFFER, and CALL. Describe the button in plain words, for example an order button to the menu, and Claude Code maps it to the right callToActionType and sets callToActionUrl to the link you provide.
