Gemini CLI + Bluesky

Post to Bluesky from Gemini CLI.

Connect Gemini CLI to xpost once, and you can ask it for a Bluesky post — written in the shape Bluesky takes, waiting in your queue until you approve it.

Connecting Gemini CLI

Three steps, about two minutes. Once it is done, every network is available to it, not just Bluesky.

  1. 1

    Add the MCP server

    Add this address to Gemini CLI's MCP server settings, where it keeps the servers it can call.

  2. 2

    Sign in to xpost

    A browser window opens on the xpost sign-in page. Log in once and the connection is made.

  3. 3

    Ask for a post

    Say what you want, for which accounts and when. Approve it from the link Gemini gives you, or in your queue.

What Gemini CLI can make for Bluesky

The same limits the composer checks, so a draft your assistant writes is one Bluesky will actually take.

What happens when you ask

It drafts, in Bluesky's shape

Caption length, post types, what Bluesky does with pictures — all of it is checked before the draft is saved.

It waits for you

The post lands in your approval queue. Nothing reaches Bluesky until you say yes, and no key can say it for you.

You get a receipt

When it publishes, the Bluesky account comes back with a link to the live post — and Gemini CLI can read that too.

Questions people ask

  • Yes. Connect Gemini CLI to xpost and it can write, schedule and publish Bluesky posts for your account. It cannot publish on its own — every post it creates waits in your approval queue until you approve it.
