Schedule and edit - Postinger

Scheduling requires both posts-write and posts-publish. Use an ISO 8601 timestamp with Z or an explicit offset; choose a future time.

Schedule a new post

postinger posts create --content "Tomorrow's update" \
  --account ACCOUNT_ID --media MEDIA_ID \
  --scheduled-at '2026-12-01T10:00:00+03:00' \
  --idempotency-key scheduled-update-001

2026-12-01T10:00:00+03:00 is 07:00 UTC. A value such as 2026-12-01T10:00 has no offset and is rejected by the public API.

Schedule an existing draft

Save the following as patch.json:

{ "scheduledAt": "2026-12-01T10:00:00+03:00" }

postinger posts update POST_ID --file patch.json

The HTTP equivalent is PATCH /posts/POST_ID; MCP uses update_post with {postId, patch}. Omitted fields are preserved. Supplying targets or mediaIds replaces that collection.

Remove a schedule

{ "scheduledAt": null }

Apply this patch to an editable scheduled post to return it to draft. Editing a scheduled post still requires publishing permission. Posts that have started publication can be locked against edits; refresh the post after a conflict. MCP’s schedule_post creates a new post. Use update_post when changing an existing draft.
