How to publish Dev.to from DeepSeek
The ClipSpeed plugin for DeepSeek's agent surfaces is in progress. If your surface can register an HTTP MCP server, the URL works now. Connect Dev.to in ClipSpeed, then describe the post. Setup takes about a minute.
# One-time setup: coming
Add the ClipSpeed MCP server at https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp (if this surface supports MCP) and list my connected channels.
# Then ask DeepSeek:
> Turn docs/release-notes.md into a Dev.to article, tag it javascript and webdev, publish Tuesday 9am
DeepSeek: Preview — nothing booked yet. Dev.to — title. Book it?Status: coming. Nothing on this page claims a DeepSeek install that does not exist yet.
- Check whether your DeepSeek surface can add an HTTP MCP server. If so, add https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp with an API key header.
- Otherwise, wait for the ClipSpeed plugin; this page's badge changes when it ships.
- In the meantime the same ClipSpeed account works from Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Codex.
- Connect Dev.to in the ClipSpeed app, or ask DeepSeek for a connect link: it is private, valid for ten minutes, and Dev.to signs you in itself.
What can DeepSeek do on Dev.to?
On Dev.to, DeepSeek can publish Markdown articles with tags, a cover image and a series. Every booking runs through the same rules as the ClipSpeed app.
Text and Image posts
Dev.to takes text and image through ClipSpeed. Image: a cover image by URL.
Limits checked at booking
articles have no body limit; up to four tags. Titles are required and cap at 128.
Exact time or refused
Name the minute and DeepSeek books it, or you are told why not and offered the next open slot. A booked Dev.to post is never moved behind your back.
Preview before anything posts
preview: true runs the whole booking and writes nothing. DeepSeek shows the plan, with each slot and the day's remaining cap, and books only on your yes.
Clips cut in the same session
Submit a video or stream link, get captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, and post the best moment's hook on Dev.to with a link to the clip. No download, no re-upload.
Pacing and numbers
Planned: Text posts on Dev.to are at least 120 minutes apart, up to 3 a day. After a post goes out, DeepSeek can read back views and engagement where Dev.to provides them.
How does DeepSeek post to Dev.to through ClipSpeed?
You describe what you want in plain language and DeepSeek makes the ClipSpeed calls. A typical conversation has three beats.
Find your Dev.to channel
Ask DeepSeek whether Dev.to is connected. It calls list_channels and reads platform_settings, so it also knows what Dev.to accepts and the limits before you write a word.
Compose within the rules
Describe the post. DeepSeek drafts within Dev.to'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.
Dev.to settings reference
These are the schedule_post fields that apply to Dev.to. Mention any of them in plain language and DeepSeek sets them; the server checks them at booking. Fields marked planned land with the Dev.to release.

Dev.to limits and gotchas to know
Dev.to enforces a few rules that DeepSeek and ClipSpeed respect automatically, but knowing them helps you phrase requests.
- A title up to 128 characters is required. The body is Markdown with no hard limit.
- Four tags maximum, and they must exist on Dev.to.
- Dev.to 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 from your own blog.
- Pacing is conservative: three articles a day two hours apart.
| Rule | Dev.to |

What Postiz-style schedulers cannot do
Cut the clips first
DeepSeek 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. DeepSeek picks by score, writes the post from the transcript, and books the best moments as links on Dev.to. 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. DeepSeek 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 Dev.to. 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: DeepSeek 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 DeepSeek?
DeepSeek is the model lab behind the DeepSeek models and agent tooling that installs plugins with an API key. ClipSpeed's CLI and SKILL.md, which such plugins wrap, are in progress. Where a DeepSeek surface can add an HTTP MCP server, the ClipSpeed URL works today.
How ClipSpeed works with DeepSeek
- Plugin wraps the ClipSpeed CLI
- Reads platform rules
- Exact-or-refused booking

Dev.to and DeepSeek: frequently asked questions
How do I publish to Dev.to from DeepSeek?
Check whether your DeepSeek surface can add an HTTP MCP server. If so, add https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp with an API key header. Otherwise, wait for the ClipSpeed plugin; this page's badge changes when it ships. Connect Dev.to in ClipSpeed (or ask DeepSeek for a connect link; it is private and valid for ten minutes), then describe the post in plain language. DeepSeek reads the Dev.to rules, drafts within them, shows the plan and books on your yes. Dev.to is on the roadmap; until the badge changes, the booking is refused with a plain message.
What can DeepSeek post to Dev.to through ClipSpeed?
Publish Markdown articles with tags, a cover image and a series. Dev.to takes text and image posts. A title is required and is capped at 128 characters.
Which Dev.to settings can DeepSeek control?
The fields in the settings reference above: title, text, hashtags, series, media_url, scheduled_at, preview. Mention any of them in plain language ("unlisted", "tomorrow at 9", "preview first") and DeepSeek sets the matching field before it books.
Do I need a Dev.to API key or developer account?
No. You connect Dev.to to ClipSpeed once through Dev.to's own sign-in, and DeepSeek talks to ClipSpeed over OAuth. No Dev.to developer key, bearer token or password is pasted anywhere.
How many Dev.to posts a day can DeepSeek schedule?
Planned: Text posts on Dev.to 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 Dev.to while I am away?
Yes. Once booked, ClipSpeed publishes at the scheduled minute whether or not DeepSeek 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 Dev.to from DeepSeek different from Kimi Code?
The booking is identical: the same rules, the same calendar, the same refusals. What differs is where you work. DeepSeek: deepseek agent and plugin surfaces. Kimi Code: terminal, mcp today, unverified.
