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 Discord integration, identifies the right channel, and sends your message with any attachments.

Claude Code

> Send an announcement to our Discord
  #releases channel that v2.0 is live,
  attach the changelog screenshot

Claude will automatically run:
  postiz integrations:list
  postiz upload ./changelog.png
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "v2.0 is now live! Check out
      the changelog below." \
    -m "uploaded-image-url" \
    --settings '{"channel":
      "123456789012345678"}' \
    -i "discord-id"

Discord + Other Platforms
