How to post to social media from Gemini CLI

Connect Gemini CLI in 3 steps

You need a Hey Tasky workspace with at least one social account connected. Connect X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon, or another network in Hey Tasky first, so Gemini CLI has somewhere to post.

1. Add Hey Tasky to settings.json

   Edit ~/.gemini/settings.json, or .gemini/settings.json in a project. Use httpUrl: url means SSE in Gemini CLI.

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "heytasky": {
         "httpUrl": "https://mcp.heytasky.com/mcp"
       }
     }
   }

2. Sign in to Hey Tasky

   Start Gemini CLI and run /mcp auth heytasky. Approve access in the browser.

3. Check it works

   Ask Gemini which Hey Tasky accounts it can post to.

What Gemini CLI can do in Hey Tasky

These are the tools Hey Tasky's MCP server gives Gemini CLI. Ask for a draft when you want to read a post before it goes out; a scheduled post publishes on its own at the time you set.

list_channels

Lists the accounts connected to your workspace, with the ids the agent needs to target them.

list_social_sets

Lists your social sets, such as one brand across X and Threads, so you can say "post this to my text list".

create_post

Saves a draft you review and schedule later in Hey Tasky. Nothing is published.

schedule_post

Schedules a post to one or more channels at an exact time. Hey Tasky publishes it automatically.

get_queue

Reads what is scheduled, published, or failed.

get_post_results

Returns impressions, likes, replies, reposts, and quotes for published posts, where the network reports them.

list_replies

Pulls replies to your posts, sorted into leads, questions, and praise.

get_best_times

Suggests weekday and hour slots from how your posts performed over the last 90 days.

get_account

Confirms which workspace and timezone the agent is working in.
