Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz works with any AI agent that can run commands or call MCP tools — you ask, the agent does the work. That includes Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the Postiz skill so it knows what it can do, then autonomously discovers your Medium integration, formats your article, applies tags and publication settings, and publishes the post.

Claude Code

> Publish my API design article to Medium
  under the engineering publication with
  a canonical URL back to my blog

Claude: Done! Scheduled on Medium for
  tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

Medium + Other Platforms

Publish the same article to Medium and other platforms in a single request. Each platform gets its own settings.

  Medium and LinkedIn tomorrow at 9am, then schedule
  a daily tip on Medium every weekday at 10am

Perplexity Computer: Done! Scheduled:
  - Medium + LinkedIn: tomorrow 9:00 AM

What can you ask Perplexity Computer to do on Medium?

You can ask Perplexity Computer for anything Postiz can do on Medium: draft, schedule, publish, attach media, and set Medium-specific options. These are prompts people actually type.

You say

> Turn my notes.md into a Medium story titled
  "What we learned shipping v2", subtitle in one line

Computer writes the article, fills the required title and subtitle, and creates the Postiz post for your Medium channel.

You say

> Publish this under the Better Programming publication
  with tags javascript, testing

Computer looks up the publication id in the Postiz settings and sets publication and tags before scheduling.

You say

> Cross-post yesterday's blog article to Medium with
  the canonical URL pointing to our site

Computer sets canonical to the original URL so search engines credit your site, then schedules the Medium copy.

Medium rules Perplexity Computer has to respect

Medium enforces a few rules on every post. Postiz exposes them as settings, and Perplexity Computer applies them, but knowing them helps you phrase the request.

✓title and subtitle are both required (minimum 2 characters each); Medium shows the subtitle under the headline.
✓Up to 4 tags per article, each with a value and label.
✓Set canonical when you republish content so the original URL keeps the SEO credit.
✓publication takes the publication id from the Postiz settings; you must be a writer in that publication.

Perplexity Computer and Medium: frequently asked questions

How do I publish to Medium from Perplexity Computer?

Add Postiz as a custom remote connector in Perplexity settings with the MCP URL https://mcp.postiz.com/mcp-oauth-dynamic and OAuth, and connect your Medium account in Postiz. Then ask Computer to publish or schedule an article. It fills the title, subtitle, tags, and canonical settings and creates the Postiz post.

Can Perplexity Computer republish my blog posts to Medium safely for SEO?

Yes. Ask for a canonical link and Computer sets the canonical field to your original URL. Medium then tells search engines your site is the source, so the Medium copy does not compete with it. This is the standard way to syndicate existing articles without duplicate-content problems.

How does Computer publish to a Medium publication?

Mention the publication name. Computer reads the publications you belong to from the Postiz Medium settings, matches the name to its id, and sets the publication field. The story is then submitted to that publication instead of your personal profile, subject to the publication's editors.

Do I need a Postiz API key to publish Medium articles from Computer?

Not with the MCP connector. Perplexity signs in to Postiz over OAuth with your own account, so Computer can only use the Medium channel you connected. The CLI skill path (npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent) is the alternative and reads POSTIZ_API_KEY from Computer's sandbox environment.

Can Computer write the Medium article and then promote it on social?

Yes. Perplexity Computer is built for multi-step tasks: it can research and draft the article, publish it to Medium through Postiz, then create X and LinkedIn posts linking to it in the same run. Review the draft before it publishes; keeping a human in the loop is recommended.
