Use Social Studio with Gemini

Set it up

1. 1

   Create a Creative Tim API key

   Create one here. It starts with sk-ct-. Keep it in your client's secret settings, never in a prompt.

2. 2

   Connect at least one social account

   Link TikTok, Instagram, Threads or Bluesky in the Social Studio.
3. 3

   Connect Gemini

   Pick one. JSON config is the recommended way for Gemini.

   Add the server to Gemini CLI

   Recommended

   ~/.gemini/settings.json
