Post to X from Cursor

How it works

1. Cursor calls list_channels to find your X channel.
2. It calls get_channel_rules to learn the X limit, media needs and settings.
3. It writes the post and runs check_post, which returns any rule problems.
4. It picks a time with find_free_slot if you did not give one, shows you the post, and calls schedule_post after you say yes.

X rules Cursor follows

• 280 characters on standard accounts, 25,000 on X Premium. Every link counts as 23.
• Up to 4 images or 1 video.
• Follow-up comments become a thread. Set a wait between each part if you like.
• Choose who can reply. Auto repost and auto plug run on posts that pass a like count.

Rule summary from the X connector: Max 280 characters (links count as 23). Up to 4 images or 1 video. Follow-up comments become a thread.

X settings the agent can use

These go in channels[].settings of schedule_post. Cursor learns them from get_channel_rules, so you can just describe what you want.

Example prompts for X

• "Turn this blog post into an X thread of 5 posts, each under 280 characters, and schedule it for tomorrow 15:00."
• "Post this announcement on X and let only accounts I follow reply."
• "After the thread gets 100 likes, reply with a link to our signup page."
• "What were my top 3 X posts by impressions last week?"
• "Write an X thread that walks through the diff in this pull request."

How Cursor handles X

Cursor sits next to your code, so X posts can come straight from your work: a pull request, a changelog, a README or release notes. Ask the agent to read the file, write posts and threads on X for your users rather than for developers, run check_post, and save it as a draft for someone on the marketing side to finish. Keep the Postozo API key or sign-in in Cursor's MCP settings, never in the repository.

More prompts in Cursor's style

• "Read CHANGELOG.md and write an X post about the newest release for our users, then save it as a draft."
• "Look at the last merged pull request and write a short X post that explains what changed and why it helps."
• "Find a free X slot this week with find_free_slot and schedule the release note there."

Before Cursor schedules an X post

• The channel is connected in Postozo and shows in list_channels.
• The text is under 280 characters.
• You have seen the text, the time and the channel, and said yes.

What the call looks like

You never have to write this yourself. It shows what Cursor sends to schedule_post for X, with real setting keys:

{
  "type": "schedule",
  "date": "2026-10-01T09:30:00+05:30",
  "content": "Your X text",
  "channels": [
    {
      "channelId": "YOUR_X_CHANNEL_ID",
      "settings": {
        "reply": "Accounts you follow"
      }
    }
  ],
  "thread": [
    {
      "content": "First comment",
      "delay": 5
    }
  ]
}

Set up Cursor

Add Postozo to Cursor with a few lines of JSON. Then let Cursor's agent write launch posts from your code, docs and release notes, and schedule them. Connection: an API key header. Full steps are on the Cursor setup page. Your X account must be connected in Postozo first: see the X scheduler.

Also works with Claude and ChatGPT.

Tips for X posts written with Cursor

• Tell Cursor who the post is for and what you want people to do. "Write an X post for small shop owners that asks them to book a demo" works better than "write a post".
• Start the chat with a few lines about your tone and the words to use or avoid. Cursor writes the text itself, so it needs this to sound like you.
• Ask for 2 or 3 versions and pick 1. It is faster than asking for changes 5 times.
• Say "save as drafts" when you want to check the posts on the calendar before they are scheduled.
• Add 1 detail only you know, like a real number from your business or a customer question. It makes the post yours.
