Schedule announcements on Twitch from Paperclip
Paperclip can update your stream and chat on Twitch through ClipSpeed. Add the ClipSpeed connector, sign in, and then ask Paperclip to update your stream and chat, pick the time, and apply Twitch's settings, without leaving an orchestrator for a company of agents. Twitch is on the roadmap on ClipSpeed's rail; this page describes how it works and says so.
Keep a human in the loop: Paperclip shows the plan and asks before anything is public. Posting today: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn.

How to schedule announcements Twitch from Paperclip
The ClipSpeed CLI for Paperclip agents is in progress. An agent whose runtime is Claude Code or Codex can register the MCP server with one command today. Connect Twitch in ClipSpeed, then describe the post. Setup takes about a minute.
# One-time setup: coming
On a Claude Code or Codex runtime: claude mcp add --transport http clipspeed https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp
# Then ask Paperclip:
> Announce in chat at 7pm that the stream is starting with tonight's title
Paperclip: Preview — nothing booked yet. Twitch — text. Book it?Status: coming for the CLI route. ClipSpeed has not verified Paperclip end to end.
- If the agent runs on Claude Code or Codex, register the ClipSpeed MCP server on that runtime with an API key header.
- Give the marketing agent a standing task: clip the week's recordings, plan posts, preview, book on approval.
- Otherwise wait for the ClipSpeed CLI; the badge changes when it ships.
- Connect Twitch in the ClipSpeed app, or ask Paperclip for a connect link: it is private, valid for ten minutes, and Twitch signs you in itself.
What can Paperclip do on Twitch?
On Twitch, Paperclip 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 Paperclip 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. Paperclip 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, Paperclip can read back views and engagement where Twitch provides them.
How does Paperclip post to Twitch through ClipSpeed?
You describe what you want in plain language and Paperclip makes the ClipSpeed calls. A typical conversation has three beats.
Find your Twitch channel
Ask Paperclip 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. Paperclip 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 Paperclip 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 Paperclip 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
What is scheduled on Twitch this week? Cancel tomorrow's post and tell me the next open Twitch slot on Friday.
Twitch limits and gotchas to know
Twitch enforces a few rules that Paperclip 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
Paperclip 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. Paperclip 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. Paperclip 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: Paperclip 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 Paperclip?
Paperclip is an open-source orchestrator that runs a company of AI agents with roles, budgets and schedules. Agents run on runtimes such as Claude Code or Codex. ClipSpeed's CLI and skill, which a Paperclip agent would install, are in progress; an agent on a runtime that supports MCP can add the ClipSpeed URL today.

Twitch and Paperclip: frequently asked questions
How do I schedule announcements to Twitch from Paperclip?
If the agent runs on Claude Code or Codex, register the ClipSpeed MCP server on that runtime with an API key header. Give the marketing agent a standing task: clip the week's recordings, plan posts, preview, book on approval. Connect Twitch in ClipSpeed (or ask Paperclip for a connect link; it is private and valid for ten minutes), then describe the post in plain language. Paperclip 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 Paperclip 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 Paperclip 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 Paperclip 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 Paperclip talks to ClipSpeed over OAuth. No Twitch developer key, bearer token or password is pasted anywhere.
How many Twitch posts a day can Paperclip 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 Paperclip post to Twitch from a script or a cron job?
Yes. Paperclip's headless mode (standing task) runs one prompt and exits, and the ClipSpeed server registered on that machine does the booking. On a runner with no browser, authenticate with a ClipSpeed API key header. Keep preview on so the run reports a plan before it books.
Is posting to Twitch from Paperclip different from Hermes Agent?
The booking is identical: the same rules, the same calendar, the same refusals. What differs is where you work. Paperclip: your server. Hermes Agent: your server, one agent framework.
