How to post to X from an agent, a script or a CI job through Octopost, with the exact requests to copy.

• Post to X from Claude Code

  Add one MCP server and Claude Code can write, thread, schedule and queue posts to X, with an approval step before anything goes out.

• Post an X thread through the API

  Send the first post plus up to 24 replies in one call and Octopost publishes the reply chain in order.

• Post to X from a Python, Node or shell script

  One HTTP request and an API key: no X developer app, no OAuth, no token refresh. cURL, Python and TypeScript examples.

• What posting to X through the API costs

  X bills API posting per post, and a post with a link costs about 13 times a plain one. How the units add up.

• Announce a GitHub release on social

  A short GitHub Actions workflow that posts every new release to X, with the link in a reply and an optional approval step.

• Social media scheduling API

  Schedule for an exact time, drip posts out from a queue during your active hours, or hold them for approval.

• Approve your agent’s posts before they go out

  Your agent writes and queues posts; nothing publishes until you approve it.

• Free thread splitter and character counter

  Paste long text and split it into a thread that fits X, Bluesky, Threads and Mastodon. Runs in your browser.
