Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz Agent works as a CLI tool with any AI agent that can execute shell commands — including Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the SKILL.md file to learn all available Postiz commands, then autonomously discovers your Pinterest integration, uploads your image, selects the right board, and creates the pin with your link and branding.

Claude Code

> Pin my new product image to the
  "Spring Collection" board with a link
  to the product page, use brand color

Claude will automatically run:
  postiz integrations:list
  postiz upload ./product-image.jpg
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "New spring collection!" \
    -m "uploaded-image-url" \
    -s "2025-03-02T09:00:00Z" \
    --settings '{"board":
      "spring-collection-id",
      "title":"Spring Collection",
      "link":"https://shop.example.com
        /spring",
      "dominant_color":"#682EE1"}' \
    -i "pinterest-id"

Pinterest + Other Platforms

Schedule the same image to Pinterest and other platforms in a single command. Each platform gets its own settings.

Terminal

# Pin to Pinterest and post to Instagram simultaneously
postiz posts:create \
  -c "Check out our latest design! #design #inspiration" \
  -m "$IMAGE_URL" \
  -s "2025-03-01T09:00:00Z" \
  --settings '{
    "board": "design-inspiration-id",
    "title": "Latest Design Showcase",
    "link": "https://example.com/designs",
    "dominant_color": "#682EE1"
  }' \
  -i "pinterest-id,instagram-id"

# Batch schedule a week of Pinterest pins
for day in 1 2 3 4 5; do
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "Design tip #$day for the week" \
    -m "tip${day}-image-url" \
    -s "2025-03-0${day}T10:00:00Z" \
    --settings '{"board":"design-tips-id","title":"Design Tip '$day'","link":"https://example.com/tips/'$day'"}' \
