What can Claude do on X (Twitter)?
On X (Twitter), Claude can post text, images and video with X's 280-character rule applied at booking. Every booking runs through the same rules as the ClipSpeed app.
Text, Image and Video posts
X (Twitter) takes text, image and video through ClipSpeed. Text-only posts work today. Video: MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB by public link, or a finished ClipSpeed clip. Image: JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF up to 25 MB by public link.
280 characters, checked at booking
X (Twitter)'s own arithmetic, with every link counted as 23. 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 X (Twitter) 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 X (Twitter). No download, no re-upload.
Pacing and numbers
Text and image posts on X (Twitter) are at least 30 minutes apart, up to 10 a day. Video on X (Twitter) is at least 2 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan. After a post goes out, Claude can read back views and engagement where X (Twitter) provides them.
How does Claude post to X (Twitter) through ClipSpeed?
You describe what you want in plain language and Claude makes the ClipSpeed calls. A typical conversation has three beats.
Find your X (Twitter) channel
Ask Claude whether X (Twitter) is connected. It calls list_channels and reads platform_settings, so it also knows what X (Twitter) accepts and the limits before you write a word.
Compose within the rules
Describe the post. Claude drafts within X (Twitter)'s limits, counting links as 23; mention a clip or a file and it attaches 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.
X (Twitter) settings reference
These are the schedule_post fields that apply to X (Twitter). Mention any of them in plain language and Claude sets them; the server checks them at booking.

|---|---|---|---|
platforms | string[] | Yes | Include "x". Up to ten platforms per call; each books its own slot. |
text | string | Yes for a text post | Up to 280 characters. Every URL counts as 23 no matter its length; the count is checked at booking. |
hashtags | string[] | No | Appended to the text and counted toward 280. |
media_kind | text | image | video | No | Detected from the file when omitted; text when there is no file. |
clip_id or media_url | string | No | A ClipSpeed clip, or a public https link to an image up to 25 MB or a video up to 1 GB. Leave both out for a text post. |

X (Twitter) limits and gotchas to know
X (Twitter) enforces a few rules that Claude and ClipSpeed respect automatically, but knowing them helps you phrase requests.
- 280 characters, with every link counted as 23. ClipSpeed uses X's arithmetic at booking, so a post that is 290 characters by your editor's count but 275 by X's is accepted, and the reverse is refused with the real number.
- Threads are not a single call. Ask the agent for separate posts or wait for thread support; the page does not claim threads because they do not post today.
- Text posts are spaced 30 minutes apart and capped at ten a day per account; video posts are two hours apart under your plan's video cap. The reply names the next open slot when a time is taken.
- Hashtags count toward the 280. Ask for one or two, not a wall.
- X is one of the two platforms that take text-only posts through the agent tools today (LinkedIn is the other). Everything else needs a clip, an image or a video.
| Rule | X (Twitter) |
|---|---|
| Accepts | Text, Image, Video (text-only posts work today) |
| Text limit | 280 characters; every link counts as 23 |
| Title | No title field |
| Links in the caption | Kept and clickable; every link counts as 23 characters regardless of length |
| Pacing | Text and image posts on X (Twitter) are at least 30 minutes apart, up to 10 a day. Video on X (Twitter) is at least 2 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan. |
| Formats | Image: JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF up to 25 MB by public link. Video: MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB by public link, or a finished ClipSpeed clip. Aspect: any; 16:9 or 1:1 reads best in the timeline |

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 X (Twitter). 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_posttakes 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 X (Twitter). 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: trueshows 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

X (Twitter) and Claude: frequently asked questions
How do I post to X (Twitter) 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 X (Twitter) 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 X (Twitter) rules, drafts within them, shows the plan and books on your yes.
What can Claude post to X (Twitter) through ClipSpeed?
Post text, images and video with X's 280-character rule applied at booking. X (Twitter) takes text, image and video posts, and text-only posts work today. Text is limited to 280 characters, with every link counted as 23.
Which X (Twitter) 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 X (Twitter) API key or developer account?
No. You connect X (Twitter) to ClipSpeed once through X (Twitter)'s own sign-in, and Claude talks to ClipSpeed over OAuth. No X (Twitter) developer key, bearer token or password is pasted anywhere.
How many X (Twitter) posts a day can Claude schedule?
Text and image posts on X (Twitter) are at least 30 minutes apart, up to 10 a day. Video on X (Twitter) is at least 2 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 X (Twitter) 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 X (Twitter) 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.
