Post to Threads from Claude

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

How to post Threads 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 Threads 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:

Claude: Preview — nothing booked yet. Threads — text under 500. 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 Threads in the ClipSpeed app, or ask Claude for a connect link: it is private, valid for ten minutes, and Threads signs you in itself.

What can Claude do on Threads?

On Threads, Claude can post 500-character text, images and video to Threads. Every booking runs through the same rules as the ClipSpeed app.

Text, Image and Video posts

Threads takes text, image and video through ClipSpeed. Video: MP4 or MOV up to 1 GB; up to five minutes on Threads. Image: JPG or PNG up to 25 MB.

500 characters, checked at booking

Threads's own arithmetic. Too long is refused with the real count, never trimmed at send time.

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 Threads 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 as native video on Threads. No download, no re-upload.

Pacing and numbers

Planned: Text and image posts on Threads are at least 30 minutes apart, up to 10 a day. Video on Threads is at least 4 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan. After a post goes out, Claude can read back views and engagement where Threads provides them.

How does Claude post to Threads through ClipSpeed?

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

Find your Threads channel

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

Is my Threads account connected to ClipSpeed?

Threads is coming next 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 Threads's limits; mention a clip or a file and it attaches it.

Draft a Threads post about the launch with the best clip from the demo.

Here's the draft (400/500): "…" Clip 2 (score 88) attached. 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: • Threads — Tue, 9:00 AM · id 7c2… Times are in America/New_York.

Threads limits and gotchas to know

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

500 characters per post. Longer is refused at booking with the real count.
Threads uses a single topic tag per post rather than a list of hashtags. Ask for one.
Replies and multi-post threads are not part of the first release. One post per booking.
Threads is the next rail. Until it posts, bookings to Threads are refused with a plain message and the badge says Coming soon.
Planned pacing: ten text or image posts a day 30 minutes apart, video four hours apart.

Rule	Threads
Accepts	Text, Image, Video
Text limit	500 characters
Title	No title field
Links in the caption	Kept; one link per post is clickable
Pacing	Planned: Text and image posts on Threads are at least 30 minutes apart, up to 10 a day. Video on Threads is at least 4 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan.
Formats	Image: JPG or PNG up to 25 MB. Video: MP4 or MOV up to 1 GB; up to five minutes on Threads. Aspect: any; 9:16 or 1:1
Status	Coming next on ClipSpeed's rail; bookings are refused with a plain message until then

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 caption from the transcript, and books the clips on Threads. 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 Threads. The caption, the time and the file are approved together.

The other half nobody else has

Generate the image or video, 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 or a short video 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; video posts as MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB.

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

Threads and Claude: frequently asked questions

How do I post to Threads 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 Threads 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 Threads rules, drafts within them, shows the plan and books on your yes. Threads is coming next; until the badge changes, the booking is refused with a plain message.

What can Claude post to Threads through ClipSpeed?

Post 500-character text, images and video to Threads. Threads takes text, image and video posts. Text is limited to 500 characters.

Which Threads settings can Claude control?

The fields in the settings reference above: text, hashtags, media_kind, clip_id or media_url, 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 Threads API key or developer account?

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

How many Threads posts a day can Claude schedule?

Planned: Text and image posts on Threads are at least 30 minutes apart, up to 10 a day. Video on Threads is at least 4 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan. 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 Threads 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 Threads 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.
