Ask for the post, not just the schedule

Gemini CLI asks, Pylot makes it: captions in your brand voice, images in your colours with your logo, then a draft or a scheduled post in your calendar.

“Make three Instagram posts for our spring collection, each with a brand image, and schedule them for Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9am.”

  • generate_captions in your voice
  • generate_image your colours
  • create_post draft or scheduled
Prompt 1

Gemini CLI sends the request; Pylot writes, designs and drafts. You see the posts in your calendar.

“Write a LinkedIn post about our new partnership with a square image and leave it as a draft.”

  • create_post

Questions

Pylot for Gemini CLI, answered

How do I add Pylot to Gemini CLI?

Run gemini mcp add with the HTTP transport, an Authorization header with your key, the name pylot and Pylot's MCP URL. Then run /mcp in Gemini CLI to see the server.

Will the posts sound like my business?

Yes. generate_captions writes in the brand voice Pylot learned from your website, and generate_image applies your colours, logo and style automatically. Your agent asks for the post; Pylot makes it on-brand.

Can Gemini CLI publish without asking me?

Not by accident. create_post always makes a draft unless you give it a time, so posts land in your Pylot calendar first. Going live right away needs publish_post with confirm set to true, and that tool is marked destructive so the client can ask you before it runs.

What does it cost?

Captions are free. Each generated image uses 1 credit from your plan and is refunded if generation fails. Drafting, scheduling and publishing are free. The key uses the same plan, limits and credit balance as your dashboard.
