How Postiz Works with Perplexity Computer

When you install Postiz Agent globally, Perplexity Computer automatically discovers it by reading the bundled SKILL.md file. This file tells Perplexity Computer what commands are available, what environment variables are needed, and how to compose Twitch messages with the right settings.

✓Add the Postiz MCP connector in Perplexity (OAuth), or install the Postiz CLI skill
✓Every Computer task can call the Postiz tools once the connector is added
✓Tasks are decomposed across specialized sub-agents
✓Each sub-agent picks the best model for its subtask
✓Results are delivered end-to-end with verification

Connect Postiz

# Perplexity > Settings > Connectors
# + Custom connector > Remote
Name:            Postiz
MCP server URL:  https://mcp.postiz.com/mcp-oauth-dynamic

# Or, the CLI skill:

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 Twitch integration, picks the right message type and color, and sends the message.

Claude Code

> Send a purple announcement to Twitch:
  "Stream starting now! Let's build!"

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

What can you ask Perplexity Computer to do on Twitch?

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

You say

> Every stream day at 6:30pm post a green announcement
  reminding chat about tonight's schedule

Computer proposes a Scheduled Task and each time creates a Postiz post with messageType announcement and announcementColor green.

You say

> Drop a plain chat message with the Discord invite link
  15 minutes into the stream

Computer keeps messageType as message, includes the link, and schedules it for the time you gave.

You say

> Announce the giveaway winner in chat as an orange
  announcement, under 500 characters

Computer writes the message within Twitch's chat limit and sets announcementColor to orange.

Twitch rules Perplexity Computer has to respect

Twitch 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.

✓Twitch chat messages are limited to 500 characters; announcements follow the same limit.
✓messageType defaults to message; set it to announcement for the highlighted banner style.
✓announcementColor only applies to announcements and accepts primary, blue, green, orange, or purple.
✓Postiz posts into chat; it does not upload VODs or change your stream title.

Perplexity Computer and Twitch: frequently asked questions

How do I post to Twitch chat 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 Twitch channel in Postiz. Then ask Computer to post a chat message or announcement at a given time. It fills messageType and color and schedules it.

What is the difference between a Twitch message and an announcement here?

A message is a normal chat line from your account. An announcement is Twitch's highlighted banner style, set with messageType announcement, and it can carry an announcementColor of primary, blue, green, orange, or purple. Say announcement and a color in your request and Computer applies both.

Can Perplexity Computer post go-live reminders automatically?

Yes. Computer's Scheduled Tasks run in Perplexity's cloud on a cadence you confirm, at most hourly. Ask for a pre-stream announcement on your streaming days and Computer creates the Postiz Twitch post each time, so chat gets the reminder without you opening the dashboard.

Do I need a Postiz API key to post to Twitch from Computer?

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

Can Computer announce the stream on Twitch, Kick, and X together?

Yes. One request can create a Twitch announcement, a Kick chat message, and an X post, each with its own settings and timing. Computer reports what was scheduled on each channel, so your go-live push reaches chat and your social followers at the same moment.
