Schedule announcements on Twitch from ClipSpeed CLI
ClipSpeed CLI can update your stream and chat on Twitch through ClipSpeed. Add the ClipSpeed server with one command, sign in, and then ask ClipSpeed CLI to update your stream and chat, pick the time, and apply Twitch's settings, without leaving any agent that can run a command. Twitch is on the roadmap on ClipSpeed's rail; this page describes how it works and says so.
Keep a human in the loop: ClipSpeed CLI shows the plan and asks before anything is public. Posting today: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn.

How to schedule announcements Twitch from ClipSpeed CLI
The commands below are the plan. They are not published yet, and this page says so. The MCP server is the route that works today. Connect Twitch in ClipSpeed, then describe the post. Setup takes about a minute.
# One-time setup (OAuth, no API key)
# Planned, not yet published:
npm i -g clipspeed
clipspeed auth:login # device-code sign-in, or CLIPSPEED_API_KEY
clipspeed channels:list
# Then ask ClipSpeed CLI:
> Announce in chat at 7pm that the stream is starting with tonight's title
ClipSpeed CLI: Preview — nothing booked yet. Twitch — text. Book it?Status: coming. Command names may change before release; this page will be regenerated with the final ones.
- Today: use the MCP server from any client that supports it; the URL is https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp.
- Soon: npm i -g clipspeed, then clipspeed auth:login (device code) or export CLIPSPEED_API_KEY.
- The SKILL.md installs with the package and states the rules: read channels:settings before posting, never skip the approval step, preview a plan before booking.
- Connect Twitch in the ClipSpeed app, or ask ClipSpeed CLI for a connect link: it is private, valid for ten minutes, and Twitch signs you in itself.

What can ClipSpeed CLI do on Twitch?
On Twitch, ClipSpeed CLI can set stream titles, schedule entries and chat announcements. Every booking runs through the same rules as the ClipSpeed app.
Text posts
Twitch takes text through ClipSpeed.
500 characters, checked at booking
Twitch's own arithmetic. Too long is refused with the real count, never trimmed at send time. Titles cap at 140.
Exact time or refused
Name the minute and ClipSpeed CLI books it, or you are told why not and offered the next open slot. A booked Twitch post is never moved behind your back.
Preview before anything posts
preview: true runs the whole booking and writes nothing. ClipSpeed CLI 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 Twitch with a link to the clip. No download, no re-upload.
Pacing and numbers
Planned: Text posts on Twitch are at least 15 minutes apart, up to 20 a day. After a post goes out, ClipSpeed CLI can read back views and engagement where Twitch provides them.
How does ClipSpeed CLI post to Twitch through ClipSpeed?
You describe what you want in plain language and ClipSpeed CLI makes the ClipSpeed calls. A typical conversation has three beats.
Find your Twitch channel
Ask ClipSpeed CLI whether Twitch is connected. It calls list_channels and reads platform_settings, so it also knows what Twitch accepts and the limits before you write a word.
Compose within the rules
Describe the post. ClipSpeed CLI drafts within Twitch's limits; 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.
Twitch settings reference
These are the schedule_post fields that apply to Twitch. Mention any of them in plain language and ClipSpeed CLI sets them; the server checks them at booking. Fields marked planned land with the Twitch release.
| Field | Type | Required | What it does on Twitch |
|---|---|---|---|
platforms | string[] | Yes | Include "twitch". Up to ten platforms per call; each books its own slot. |
text | string | Yes | A chat announcement up to 500 characters. |
title | string | No | A stream title up to 140 characters. |
schedule_entry | object | Planned | A stream schedule segment: start time, duration, category. |
scheduled_at | ISO 8601 | No | When the announcement goes out. |
preview | boolean | No | Plan only. |
Common Twitch configurations
Ask ClipSpeed CLI for any of these and it applies the matching settings.

Schedule announcements Twitch with a scheduled time
Announce in chat at 7pm that the stream is starting with tonight's title. Keep the text under 500 characters. Preview first.
Cut the clips, then post the hook
Clip this link, keep the top moment by viral score, and write a Twitch post from the best moment's transcript, scheduled for tomorrow 9am. Show me the plan before booking.
Check and adjust the Twitch calendar

Twitch limits and gotchas to know
Twitch enforces a few rules that ClipSpeed CLI and ClipSpeed respect automatically, but knowing them helps you phrase requests.
- Twitch has no feed to post video to. What a scheduler can do is set titles, schedule segments and chat announcements; the clips themselves go to YouTube, TikTok and the rest.
- Chat announcements are 500 characters.
- Twitch is on ClipSpeed's roadmap, not the next rail. Bookings are refused plainly until it works.
- ClipSpeed already clips Twitch streams live; this page is about the schedule and chat side.
- Pacing is generous because chat tolerates frequency.
| Rule | Twitch |
|---|---|
| Accepts | Text |
| Text limit | 500 characters |
| Title | 140 characters, optional |
| Links in the caption | Kept in chat |
| Pacing | Planned: Text posts on Twitch are at least 15 minutes apart, up to 20 a day. |
| Formats | Text |
| Status | On the roadmap; described here, not yet bookable |
What Postiz-style schedulers cannot do
Cut the clips first
ClipSpeed CLI 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. ClipSpeed CLI picks by score, writes the post from the transcript, and books the best moments as links on Twitch. 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. ClipSpeed CLI 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 Twitch. The caption, the time and the file are approved together.The other half nobody else has
Generate the video, then post it
A product shot for Instagram, a 16:9 announcement graphic for X, a six-second opener before a clip: ClipSpeed CLI can make an image for the post link 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.
- links are kept clickable.
What is ClipSpeed CLI?
The ClipSpeed CLI is a command-line tool, in progress, for agents that install skills and run commands rather than connecting to MCP servers: OpenClaw-family agents, Grok Bot, Paperclip, Perplexity Computer and others. It will mirror the MCP tools (channels, posts, upload, clip) and ship with a SKILL.md so an agent learns the commands and the rules on install.
How ClipSpeed works with ClipSpeed CLI
- Planned commands mirror the MCP tools
- Reads platform rules
- Exact-or-refused booking
- preview before booking
- Key or device-code sign-in
CLI vs MCP server vs npm clipspeed-mcp: ClipSpeed CLI (any machine), MCP server (hosted), clipspeed-mcp (npm) (local stdio). This page is about ClipSpeed CLI; the ClipSpeed CLI guide compares them.

Twitch and ClipSpeed CLI: frequently asked questions
How do I schedule announcements to Twitch from ClipSpeed CLI?
Today: use the MCP server from any client that supports it; the URL is https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp. Soon: npm i -g clipspeed, then clipspeed auth:login (device code) or export CLIPSPEED_API_KEY. Connect Twitch in ClipSpeed (or ask ClipSpeed CLI for a connect link; it is private and valid for ten minutes), then describe the post in plain language. ClipSpeed CLI reads the Twitch rules, drafts within them, shows the plan and books on your yes. Twitch is on the roadmap; until the badge changes, the booking is refused with a plain message.
What can ClipSpeed CLI post to Twitch through ClipSpeed?
Set stream titles, schedule entries and chat announcements. Twitch takes text posts. Text is limited to 500 characters. A title is capped at 140 characters.
Which Twitch settings can ClipSpeed CLI control?
The fields in the settings reference above: text, title, schedule_entry, scheduled_at, preview. Mention any of them in plain language ("unlisted", "tomorrow at 9", "preview first") and ClipSpeed CLI sets the matching field before it books.
Do I need a Twitch API key or developer account?
No. You connect Twitch to ClipSpeed once through Twitch's own sign-in, and ClipSpeed CLI talks to ClipSpeed over OAuth. No Twitch developer key, bearer token or password is pasted anywhere.
How many Twitch posts a day can ClipSpeed CLI schedule?
Planned: Text posts on Twitch are at least 15 minutes apart, up to 20 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 Twitch while I am away?
Yes. Once booked, ClipSpeed publishes at the scheduled minute whether or not ClipSpeed CLI 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 Twitch from ClipSpeed CLI different from MCP server?
The booking is identical: the same rules, the same calendar, the same refusals. What differs is where you work. ClipSpeed CLI: any machine with node; installed by the agent. MCP server: hosted, works today.
