Cursor + Postiz

Schedule Social Media Posts from Cursor

Install with /add-plugin postiz from the Marketplace
Draft, schedule and publish from the Agent panel
30+ platforms, with threads, media and analytics

Postiz is the agentic social media scheduling platform that Cursor drives through the Postiz plugin and MCP server. Please make sure there is always a human in the loop. Last updated: September 2026. Looking for the always-on agent that also runs in Cursor? See the Grok Bot guide.

How to Install Postiz in Cursor

The fastest way to install Postiz in Cursor is the official plugin: type /add-plugin postiz in the Agent chat and you are done. If you prefer to manage files yourself, add the skill with the skills CLI or connect the Postiz MCP server in .cursor/mcp.json. All three routes take under a minute.

1Install

under a minute

Type this in Cursor's Agent chat

One command installs the official Postiz plugin: the CLI skill and the MCP server, bundled together.

Cursor Agent chat

/add-plugin postiz

Or install from the Cursor Marketplace. Prefer files you can commit? Run npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent or add the Postiz MCP server to .cursor/mcp.json. Then export POSTIZ_API_KEY, or sign in over OAuth for MCP.

2Ask

live in Postiz

Ask Cursor's Agent to post for you

The Agent runs Postiz commands in the integrated terminal while you keep coding. The schedule lives in Postiz, so posts go out even after you close the editor.

4Tell Cursor what to publish, where, and when

Which install route should I pick?

Route	What it installs	Authentication	Best for
Cursor Marketplace plugin `/add-plugin postiz`	The Postiz CLI skill and MCP server, bundled as one plugin	POSTIZ_API_KEY for the CLI, OAuth sign-in for MCP	Most people. One command inside Cursor, nothing to configure by hand.
Skills CLI `npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent`	A SKILL.md and the postiz CLI in your project's skills folder	POSTIZ_API_KEY environment variable	Repos shared with a team, or projects where other agents also read SKILL.md.
Postiz MCP server `.cursor/mcp.json`	Postiz MCP tools (list channels, create posts, upload media, analytics)	OAuth sign-in to your Postiz account. No API key stored.	No terminal commands. The same link also works in Claude and ChatGPT.

One plugin puts every channel in your editor

Connect your accounts in Postiz once. From then on Cursor's Agent can post to any of them from the Agent panel, and Postiz publishes at the time you set.

What Can Cursor Do with Postiz?

With Postiz installed, Cursor's Agent can do everything the Postiz dashboard does: draft, schedule, and publish posts, upload media, build threads, read platform-specific settings, and pull analytics, on 30+ platforms, without leaving the editor.

AI Agent Ready

Postiz returns structured results, so Cursor can plan, run, and verify multi-step social media workflows on its own.

30+ Platforms

Post to X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Reddit, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and many more platforms from a single skill.

Threads & Comments

Create threaded posts with multiple comments, each with their own media. Automatic conversion to platform-native threads.

Rich Media Support

Upload and attach images, videos, audio, and documents. Supports PNG, JPG, MP4, MOV, PDF, and many more formats.

Scheduled Posting

Schedule posts with precise timestamps, create drafts for review, and batch schedule entire content campaigns.

Platform-Specific Settings

Dynamic discovery of platform features like Reddit flairs, YouTube playlists, Pinterest boards, and LinkedIn company pages.

What is Cursor?

Cursor is an AI code editor made by Anysphere. Its Agent runs commands in the integrated terminal, edits your files, and takes real actions on your behalf, including managing your social media with Postiz.

Editor Native

Talk to Cursor's Agent right inside your editor. No browser or extra app: open the Agent panel and manage your socials next to your code.

Plugins, Skills & MCP

Cursor extends its Agent through Marketplace plugins, Skills (SKILL.md files), and the Model Context Protocol. Postiz works as all three: connect once and go.

Autonomous Agent

Cursor's Agent chains commands together: discovering integrations, uploading media, and scheduling posts across platforms without manual steps.

How does the Postiz skill work in Cursor?

Cursor discovers skills from .cursor/skills and .agents/skills in your project, or from ~/.cursor/skills for every project, and reads each skill's SKILL.md. The Postiz SKILL.md tells Cursor which commands exist, which environment variables are needed, and how to compose posts with the right settings for each platform.

Install in one command: npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent
Cursor's Agent reads the SKILL.md and learns all Postiz commands
Set POSTIZ_API_KEY and the skill is ready to use
Commands run in Cursor's integrated terminal
Works with any model you pick in Cursor: Claude, GPT, Gemini, and more

Install in Cursor

# Install the Postiz skill
npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent

# Set your API key
export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Ask Cursor's Agent to verify it
"List my social media integrations"

# Cursor replies with your connected
# channels. You are ready to post.

Is Cursor the Same as Grok Bot?

No. Cursor is the AI code editor you run on your own machine and prompt while you work. Grok Bot is the always-on AI teammate from xAI and Cursor: named Bots that run on a persistent cloud computer, follow routines, and ask for approval before changing external systems. Both install the same Postiz plugin from the Cursor Marketplace. This page covers the editor; the Grok Bot guide covers the always-on agent.

	Cursor (editor)	Grok Bot (always-on agent)
Where it runs	On your machine, inside the editor	On a persistent cloud computer run by xAI and Cursor
How you trigger it	You type a prompt in the Agent panel while you work	Bots run routines on a schedule and ping you for approval
Postiz install	/add-plugin postiz in Cursor, or the skill or MCP server	/add-plugin postiz inside a Bot chat, or the Plugins sidebar
Best for	Posting while you code, one-off and batch scheduling	Always-on social media routines without an open editor

How to Post from the Cursor Agent Panel

To post from Cursor, describe the post in the Agent panel. Cursor reads the Postiz skill, discovers your integrations, and handles the whole posting workflow in the integrated terminal while you keep coding.

From the Agent Panel

One prompt, full automation

Type a prompt in Cursor's Agent panel. It discovers your accounts via Postiz, uploads media, and schedules posts, all in the integrated terminal while you keep coding.

Cursor Agent

You: Post my blog article to Twitter,
  LinkedIn, and Reddit with the cover
  image, schedule for tomorrow at 9am

Cursor: Done! Posts scheduled:
  - X (Twitter): scheduled 9:00 AM
  - LinkedIn: scheduled 9:00 AM
  - Reddit (r/programming): scheduled 9:00 AM
  Post ID: abc-123

Parallel Tasks

Multiple agents, concurrent execution

Run multiple Agent tabs at once. Schedule a week of content in one while refactoring code in another. Each task runs independently inside Cursor.

Multiple Agent Tabs

# Agent 1: schedule content
> Schedule a week of daily posts
  to Twitter and LinkedIn, using the
  content from ~/content/drafts

# Agent 2: check analytics
> Get my social media analytics
  for the last 30 days across all
  platforms and summarize the results

# Agent 3: keep coding
> Refactor the auth module
  to use JWT tokens

Why AI Agents Love Postiz

Every command returns structured JSON for easy parsing
Built-in SKILL.md provides full command documentation
Discovery workflow lets agents explore available platforms
Platform-specific tools (flairs, playlists, boards) are dynamically queryable
No SDK needed. Any agent that can run CLI commands works
Model-agnostic. Works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, or open-source LLMs

The same skill and CLI power every agent Postiz supports. See the Postiz Agent overview for Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, and more, or the Postiz MCP server if you prefer tools over terminal commands.

Can Cursor Run Social Media on a Schedule?

Yes. Cursor's Agent needs the editor open to run, but the schedule lives in Postiz: give Cursor the dates once and Postiz publishes at those times whether Cursor is running or not. For routines that should run without you, the same Postiz plugin works in Grok Bot, and the postiz CLI runs from cron or CI.

Batch scheduling from one prompt

Ask Cursor to schedule a week or a month of posts from a folder of drafts. Postiz stores the schedule and publishes each post at its time.

Unattended routines

Need posting to happen while your laptop is closed? Grok Bot runs the same Postiz plugin on a cloud computer with routines and approvals.

Scoped, revocable access

The CLI uses a POSTIZ_API_KEY you can rotate in Postiz settings. The MCP route signs in over OAuth, so Cursor only reaches channels connected to your Postiz account.

What Can You Ask Cursor to Do?

You can ask Cursor anything you would do in the Postiz dashboard. Here are prompts people actually type in the Agent panel, and the Postiz call Cursor makes behind the scenes.

Cursor Social Media FAQ

What is Cursor?

Cursor is an AI code editor made by Anysphere. Its Agent mode edits files, runs commands in the integrated terminal, and completes multi-step tasks from a plain-English prompt. Cursor extends the Agent through Skills, MCP servers, and Marketplace plugins, which is how Postiz adds social media scheduling to the editor.

How do I install Postiz in Cursor?

Type /add-plugin postiz in Cursor's Agent chat, or open cursor.com/marketplace/postiz and click Install. The plugin ships the Postiz CLI skill and MCP server together. Alternatively, run npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent in your project, or add https://mcp.postiz.com/mcp-oauth-dynamic to .cursor/mcp.json. Then set POSTIZ_API_KEY or sign in over OAuth.

Do I need a Postiz API key to use Cursor with Postiz?

It depends on the route. The Marketplace plugin and the npx skill run the Postiz CLI, which reads a POSTIZ_API_KEY environment variable you copy from Postiz settings. The MCP server route uses OAuth instead: Cursor opens a Postiz sign-in window, and no API key is stored in your project or dotfiles.

What can Cursor do with Postiz?

Cursor's Agent can list your connected channels, draft and schedule posts, publish immediately, build threads with per-post media, upload images and videos, read platform-specific options such as Reddit flairs or YouTube playlists, cancel scheduled posts, and pull analytics for a channel or a single post, all from one prompt in the Agent panel.

Is Cursor the same as Grok Bot?

No. Cursor is the AI code editor you run on your machine and prompt while you work. Grok Bot is the always-on AI teammate from xAI and Cursor that runs named Bots on a persistent cloud computer with routines and approvals. Both install the same Postiz plugin from the Cursor Marketplace, and Grok Bot has its own guide at postiz.com/grok-bot.

Can Cursor schedule social media posts without me watching?

Yes for scheduling, with one distinction. Cursor's Agent works while the editor is open, but the schedule itself lives in Postiz: you give Cursor the dates once and Postiz publishes at those times whether Cursor is running or not. For fully unattended routines, use Grok Bot or run the postiz CLI from cron or CI.

Which social media platforms can Cursor post to through Postiz?

Postiz connects Cursor to 30+ platforms, including X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Discord, Slack, Telegram, Twitch, Kick, Medium, Dev.to, Hashnode, WordPress, Dribbble, Warpcast, Lemmy, Google My Business, Listmonk, Skool, and Whop. Each channel exposes its own settings, which Cursor can query before posting.

Is Postiz free to use with Cursor?

Postiz cloud includes a free trial, so you can connect channels and post from Cursor before choosing a plan. The Cursor plugin, the skill, and the MCP server carry no extra charge; you pay only for your Postiz plan. Current plans are listed on the pricing page.

Cursor does not see the Postiz skill. What should I check?

First confirm the skill folder sits in a directory Cursor scans: .cursor/skills or .agents/skills in the project, or ~/.cursor/skills for every project. Cursor discovers skills when it launches, so restart the editor after installing. Then make sure POSTIZ_API_KEY is exported in the terminal Cursor uses, and ask the Agent to list your integrations.
