Can Gemini post to social media?

Yes. With xpost added as an MCP server, Gemini CLI can draft and schedule posts for 9 networks. You can see every post in xpost, or turn on approvals so posts wait for your review.

Do I need an API key for Gemini CLI?

No. Gemini CLI opens the xpost sign-in page in your browser; you log in once. End the connection any time from Settings.

Can Gemini publish without me?

Yes — that is what it is for, and you are told every time: the post is mailed to you, before it goes out or the moment it has. Switch approvals on and its posts wait in your queue instead. No key, tool or prompt can approve a post.

Does the Gemini CLI connector cost extra?

No. The connector is included in every xpost plan, with no extra fee and no usage meter.
