Publish to Medium from Claude

Claude can publish stories on Medium through ClipSpeed. Add the ClipSpeed connector, sign in, and then ask Claude to publish stories, pick the time, and apply Medium's settings, without leaving the Claude app on the web, desktop and mobile. Medium is on the roadmap on ClipSpeed's rail; this page describes how it works and says so.

How to publish Medium from Claude

The connector is a URL. Paste it once in Claude's connector settings, sign in to ClipSpeed in the browser tab that opens, and the tools are available in every new chat. Connect Medium in ClipSpeed, then describe the post. Setup takes about a minute.

setup once, then just ask

# One-time setup: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp

# Then ask Claude:
> Publish the essay on Medium Sunday 8am with three tags
Claude: Preview — nothing booked yet. Medium — title. Book it?

There is also a ClipSpeed listing in the Claude connector directory. That listing is the clipping toolset only; scheduling, image and video generation live on the custom connector URL above.

Open Claude on the web or desktop, then Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
Name it ClipSpeed and paste https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp as the URL. Save.
Click Connect. A ClipSpeed sign-in opens; approve it. No API key is involved.
Connect Medium in the ClipSpeed app, or ask Claude for a connect link: it is private, valid for ten minutes, and Medium signs you in itself.

What can Claude do on Medium?

On Medium, Claude can publish stories with tags to your profile or a publication. Every booking runs through the same rules as the ClipSpeed app.

Text and Image posts

Medium takes text and image through ClipSpeed. Image: images by URL inside the story.

Limits checked at booking

up to five tags. Titles are required and cap at 100.

Exact time or refused

Name the minute and Claude books it, or you are told why not and offered the next open slot. A booked Medium post is never moved behind your back.

Preview before anything posts

preview: true runs the whole booking and writes nothing. Claude shows the plan, with each slot and the day's remaining cap, and books only on your yes.

Clips cut in the same chat

Submit a video or stream link, get captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, and post the best moment's hook on Medium with a link to the clip. No download, no re-upload.

Pacing and numbers

Planned: Text posts on Medium are at least 120 minutes apart, up to 3 a day. After a post goes out, Claude can read back views and engagement where Medium provides them.

How does Claude post to Medium through ClipSpeed?

You describe what you want in plain language and Claude makes the ClipSpeed calls. A typical conversation has three beats.

Find your Medium channel

Ask Claude whether Medium is connected. It calls list_channels and reads platform_settings, so it also knows what Medium accepts and the limits before you write a word.

Is my Medium account connected to ClipSpeed?

Medium is on the roadmap on ClipSpeed; I can't book there yet. Your YouTube channel is connected if you'd like to use that.

Compose within the rules

Describe the post. Claude drafts within Medium's limits; mention a clip or a file and it attaches it.

Draft a Medium post about the launch.

Here's the draft: "…" Want me to schedule it?

Schedule or publish

Name a time, or say now. The slot is booked exactly or refused with the next open one, and the reply carries the id you can cancel or edit by.

Yes — tomorrow at 9am.

Scheduled on: • Medium — Tue, 9:00 AM · id 7c2… Times are in America/New_York.

Medium settings reference

These are the schedule_post fields that apply to Medium. Mention any of them in plain language and Claude sets them; the server checks them at booking. Fields marked planned land with the Medium release.

`title`	string	Yes	Up to 100 characters.

`hashtags`	string[]	No	Up to five tags.
`publication`	string	Planned	A publication you contribute to, or your profile.

Medium limits and gotchas to know

Medium enforces a few rules that Claude and ClipSpeed respect automatically, but knowing them helps you phrase requests.

A title up to 100 characters is required; up to five tags.
Stories submitted to a publication may wait for an editor; the scheduler cannot skip that.
Medium is on ClipSpeed's roadmap, not the next rail. Bookings are refused plainly until it posts.
Canonical URL is a planned field for cross-posting.
Pacing is conservative: three stories a day two hours apart.

Rule	Medium
Accepts	Text, Image
Text limit	up to five tags
Title	100 characters, required
Links in the caption	Kept
Pacing	Planned: Text posts on Medium are at least 120 minutes apart, up to 3 a day.
Formats	Image: images by URL inside the story. Aspect: any
Status	On the roadmap; described here, not yet bookable

What Postiz-style schedulers cannot do

Cut the clips first

Claude does not need finished video to start. Hand it a YouTube link, a podcast, a stream VOD or a local export. ClipSpeed finds the moments, cuts them to 9:16 with word-by-word captions, scores each one 0 to 100 for shareability, and returns them in the same conversation. Claude picks by score, writes the post from the transcript, and books the best moments as links on Medium. Three tool calls, one approval, no download and no re-upload.

Clips arrive with a title written from the hook, a transcript and a viral score, so the agent can choose and caption without watching the footage.
Live streams can be clipped while they are still on air; the agent books the highlights for the next morning before the stream ends.
Every clip is already hosted, so schedule_post takes its id directly. Nothing moves through your laptop.

submit_to_clipspeedPaste the link. ClipSpeed starts the job and returns a project id.

check_clipsPoll with the project id. Back come the finished 9:16 clips with titles, transcripts, viral scores and preview links.

schedule_postPass the clip id, the platforms, a caption and a time. Claude shows the plan with preview: true, you say yes, it books.

generate_image or generate_videoDescribe the shot. ClipSpeed runs it on the model that fits (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image and others) and quotes the credits first.

wait_for_generationReturns the hosted result link and a preview the agent can show you.

schedule_post with media_urlThe result link goes straight into the booking on Medium. The caption, the time and the file are approved together.

The other half nobody else has

Generate the image, then post it

A product shot for Instagram, a 16:9 announcement graphic for X, a six-second opener before a clip: Claude can make an image with ClipSpeed's image and video models and book the result in the same reply. There is no separate design tool, no export, no upload page. The generated file is hosted, so media_url is the only thing the booking needs.

The price in credits is quoted before anything renders, within the per-generation and daily caps you set in Settings.
Results are previewed in the conversation, so you approve the picture and the post at once.
Images post as JPG, PNG or WebP up to 25 MB; links are kept clickable.

What is Claude?

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available in the browser at claude.ai, as a desktop app for Mac and Windows, and on iOS and Android. It reads files, browses, and reaches outside tools through connectors built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). With the ClipSpeed connector added, Claude can clip a video, generate an image or a short video, and schedule posts to your connected platforms, all from a normal conversation.

How ClipSpeed works with Claude

The connector exposes ClipSpeed's tools to Claude: list_channels, platform_settings, schedule_post, list_scheduled_posts, cancel_scheduled_post, post_analytics, plus clipping and generation
Claude reads each platform's rules before composing, so a 280-character X post and a 100-character YouTube title come out right the first time
A time you name is booked exactly or refused with the reason and the next open slot; it is never moved quietly
preview: true shows the plan with every slot and nothing booked; you approve and Claude books
Sign-in is OAuth; Claude never sees a platform password and ClipSpeed never sees your Claude account

Medium and Claude: frequently asked questions

How do I publish to Medium from Claude?

Open Claude on the web or desktop, then Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it ClipSpeed and paste https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp as the URL. Save. Connect Medium in ClipSpeed (or ask Claude for a connect link; it is private and valid for ten minutes), then describe the post in plain language. Claude reads the Medium rules, drafts within them, shows the plan and books on your yes. Medium is on the roadmap; until the badge changes, the booking is refused with a plain message.

What can Claude post to Medium through ClipSpeed?

Publish stories with tags to your profile or a publication. Medium takes text and image posts. A title is required and is capped at 100 characters.

Which Medium settings can Claude control?

The fields in the settings reference above: title, text, hashtags, publication, scheduled_at, preview. Mention any of them in plain language ("unlisted", "tomorrow at 9", "preview first") and Claude sets the matching field before it books.

Do I need a Medium API key or developer account?

No. You connect Medium to ClipSpeed once through Medium's own sign-in, and Claude talks to ClipSpeed over OAuth. No Medium developer key, bearer token or password is pasted anywhere.

How many Medium posts a day can Claude schedule?

Planned: Text posts on Medium are at least 120 minutes apart, up to 3 a day. When a time is taken, the booking is refused with the next open slot rather than moved. Ask for preview to see a day's plan and the remaining cap before anything is booked.

Can posts go out to Medium while I am away?

Yes. Once booked, ClipSpeed publishes at the scheduled minute whether or not Claude is open. For unattended runs that decide what to post, use a headless agent such as Claude Code or Codex with the same account.

Is posting to Medium from Claude different from Claude Desktop?

The booking is identical: the same rules, the same calendar, the same refusals. What differs is where you work. Claude: claude.ai, the claude desktop app, ios and android. Claude Desktop: mac and windows app, can read a folder of exports and post from it.
