Pixalera for AI agents

AI Agent Social
Media Posting with
Pixalera

AI agent social media posting means an AI agent such as Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, or OpenClaw drafts, schedules, and publishes posts for you. Pixalera is the agentic social media scheduling platform that makes this work: it exposes an MCP server and a CLI, so any agent can post to 8+ platforms while you approve the plan.

How do AI agents connect to Pixalera?

AI agents connect to Pixalera through one of three surfaces: the hosted MCP server, the Pixalera CLI, or a connector inside the agent's own settings. All three reach the same Pixalera account and the same channels.

Surface	Used by	Authentication	Media and tools
Pixalera MCP server	ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini, Kimi Code, DeepSeek, Muse, Manus, Cue, Grok Build	Your private key in the MCP URL; Manus and Cue send it as a Bearer header	Full toolset: posting, scheduling, ideas, analytics and product lookups
Pixalera CLI	Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, nanoclaw, Paperclip, Perplexity Computer, Grok Bot	PIXALERA_API_KEY from your Pixalera settings	Upload images, videos and documents from disk; every command returns JSON
In-app connectors	ChatGPT connectors, Claude connectors, Manus and Cue connectors, Cursor MCP settings, Gemini CLI extensions	One-time setup with your private key; plugins bundle the CLI or MCP server	Same tools as the MCP server, configured inside the agent's own UI

How do I connect any AI agent to Pixalera?

Connecting takes three steps and about two minutes: choose the MCP link or the CLI, set your key, then ask the agent to post. Each agent guide repeats these steps with the exact commands for that tool.

Pick a surface your agent supports

MCP clients (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini, Kimi Code, Grok Build) take the hosted Pixalera MCP link. Agents that run shell commands (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, nanoclaw, Paperclip, Perplexity Computer) take the Pixalera CLI.

Connect

# Option A: MCP link (paste into your MCP client)
https://api.pixalera.in/mcp/YOUR_API_KEY

# Option B: Pixalera CLI (any agent that runs commands)
npx pixalera-cli init

Set your API key

The MCP link carries your private key, so the agent only reaches the workspace that created it. The CLI reads PIXALERA_API_KEY from your environment; copy the key from your Pixalera settings.

Authenticate

# MCP: your private key is already in the URL

# CLI: export the key once
export PIXALERA_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Verify the agent can see your channels
pixalera channels:list

Ask the agent to post

Describe the post in plain language. The agent lists your channels, uploads media, applies platform settings, and schedules the post. Review the plan before it publishes.

Prompt

You: Schedule a LinkedIn post and an X thread about the launch for tomorrow at 9am, attach ./assets/launch.png

Agent: Scheduled 2 posts for 09:00
  - LinkedIn: 1 post with image
  - X: 3-part thread with image
Want me to add Instagram too?

One Pixalera account powers every
channel your agents post to

Connect your accounts in Pixalera once. From then on any AI agent can post to any of them through the MCP server or the CLI, and Pixalera publishes at the time you set.

What can an AI agent do with Pixalera?

An agent connected to Pixalera can list your channels, upload media, create scheduled posts and threads, apply platform-specific settings, and read analytics. Every response is structured, so the agent can plan the next step on its own.

AI Agent Ready

Every command outputs structured JSON. Designed for LLMs and automation pipelines to parse, plan, and execute social media workflows.

8+ Platforms

Post to Instagram, Facebook, Threads, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Bluesky from a single CLI.

Threads & Captions

How does the Pixalera CLI work for AI agents?

The Pixalera CLI is the tool behind the skill. Install it once, set PIXALERA_API_KEY, and an agent can discover your channels, create posts, and read analytics with plain commands that return JSON.

Terminal

# Install the CLI
npx pixalera-cli init

# Set your API key
export PIXALERA_API_KEY=your_api_key

# List your connected platforms
pixalera channels:list

# Create your first post
pixalera posts:create \
  -c "Hello from Pixalera!" \
  -s "2026-11-01T12:00:00Z" \
  -i "your-channel-id"

  pixalera posts:create \
    -c "Day $day content" \
    -s "2026-11-0${day}T09:00:00Z" \
    -i "x-id,linkedin-id"
done

Can an AI agent post on a schedule without me?

Yes. Agents with recurring jobs can run Pixalera headless: OpenClaw has cron automations, nanoclaw has built-in scheduled jobs, and any always-on agent can run the CLI on a routine. Keep a human approval step for publishing.

From any chat app

Agents like OpenClaw and nanoclaw run as a persistent daemon and take messages from chat apps. Send one message and the agent discovers your accounts via Pixalera, uploads media, and schedules the posts while you go about your day.

WhatsApp / Telegram

You: Post my blog article to X, LinkedIn, and Instagram with the cover image, schedule for tomorrow at 9am

Agent: Done! Posts scheduled:
  - X: scheduled 9:00 AM
  - LinkedIn: scheduled 9:00 AM
  - Instagram: scheduled 9:00 AM
Post ID: abc-123

Scheduled & proactive

OpenClaw supports cron automations. Set up a recurring job that checks for new content and posts it to all your platforms automatically, with no manual trigger needed.

openclaw.json (heartbeat)

{
  "heartbeat": [
    {
      "cron": "0 9 * * 1-5",
      "prompt": "Check ~/content/pending for new posts. Upload any media, then schedule to X, LinkedIn, and Instagram for today at noon. Move posted files to ~/content/done."
    }
  ]
}

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AI agent social media posting?

It is when an AI agent, rather than a person clicking through a dashboard, drafts, schedules, and publishes posts on your connected accounts. With Pixalera the agent calls the MCP server or the CLI, picks the right channels, applies platform settings, and schedules the post while you review the plan.

Which AI agents can post to social media with Pixalera?

Any agent that can call MCP tools or run shell commands: ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi, Manus, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Paperclip and more. The table above lists every dedicated guide.

Do I need a Pixalera API key for my AI agent?

Yes. Create a private key in Pixalera Settings → Developers. The MCP URL carries the key, and the CLI reads it from the PIXALERA_API_KEY environment variable. Treat the key like a password.

What is the difference between the Pixalera MCP server and the CLI?

The MCP server is a hosted connection that MCP-compatible clients (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Gemini) call directly. The CLI is a local tool for agents that run shell commands (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Paperclip). Both reach the same workspace and the same channels.

Can an AI agent post to social media on a schedule without me?

Yes. Agents with recurring jobs can run Pixalera headless: OpenClaw has cron automations, nanoclaw has built-in scheduled jobs, and any agent on a server can run the CLI from a cron task. Keep a human approval step for publishing.

Is Pixalera free to use with AI agents?

Pixalera MCP and CLI access requires an active Pro plan. Your normal workspace permissions, credits and limits still apply to every action the agent takes.

Which social media platforms can an AI agent post to through Pixalera?

Instagram, Facebook, Threads, YouTube, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest and Bluesky — the same accounts you connected in your Pixalera workspace. Available actions can differ by platform and account permissions.

How do I disconnect an agent or protect my API key?

Revoke the key in Pixalera Settings → Developers and remove the connection from the agent. Never paste the full MCP URL into public chats, screenshots or source code.
