Claude Code is Anthropic’s coding agent for the terminal and IDEs. Add PostQueen with one command and Claude Code can turn a changelog into posts, schedule them and report how your published posts did, from the terminal you already have open.
A sample Claude Code terminal session with PostQueen connected: a request for posts, the PostQueen tools it used, and the reply

​
Before you start

  • Plans: Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise or a Console (API) account. The free Claude plan does not include Claude Code.
  • Platforms: the terminal on macOS, Linux and Windows, plus IDE integrations.
  • A PostQueen API key. A workspace admin copies it, or the ready-made address, from Connections.
Where the API key is: in the app, open Connections > API Keys. Only a workspace Admin or Super Admin can reveal or rotate it; other members see it masked. A workspace has one key, and each agent card on Connections shows your MCP address with the key already filled in.

​
Connect Claude Code

1

Add PostQueen

Run this in your terminal, with your key in place of YOUR_API_KEY:
Add --scope user to use PostQueen in every project. Without it, the server is saved for the current project only.
2

Check the server

Run claude mcp list. PostQueen is listed with its address.
3

Start a new session

Start a new Claude Code session so the PostQueen tools load.

​
Check that it works

In the new session, ask: “List my PostQueen channels.” Claude Code calls PostQueen and answers with the channels you connected. Type /mcp to see the server and its tools.

​
Good to know

  • Scopes: the default is local, this project only, stored in ~/.claude.json. --scope user covers every project, and --scope project writes a shared .mcp.json into the project.
  • Keep the key out of a shared file. .mcp.json expands ${VAR} in the address and headers, so a committed file can read the key from your environment. Or use the header form below.
  • Claude Code can run the command for you if you allow it, since it runs shell commands. The tools still load only in a new session.
  • A connector you added in Claude on claude.ai also shows up in Claude Code when you log in with a claude.ai subscription.
  • Ask for drafts when you want to check first. A draft waits on your PostQueen calendar, and nothing publishes until you schedule it.
  • What it cannot do over MCP: delete a post, or change a post’s text or time. Do that on the calendar in the app. The MCP tools lists what it can do.

​
Other ways to connect

​
Try this first

The draft appears on your PostQueen calendar, ready for you to check and schedule. Prompts to try has more.

​
Run it on a schedule

Claude Code runs without a chat with -p, from cron or a CI job, and a -p run connects the same MCP servers as a normal session. It cannot stop to ask you for approval, so allow the PostQueen tools up front with --allowedTools:
mcp__postqueen allows every tool of the postqueen server and nothing else. Source: Anthropic, run Claude Code programmatically.

Troubleshooting

More fixes are on Troubleshooting agents.

​
Is it the same as Claude?

No. Claude Code is Anthropic’s coding agent, with its own command. Claude and Claude Cowork share a connector instead:
