Post to Twitch from Claude Code

Claude Code drafts it. You approve it. PostDelegate posts it.Twitch: Chat messages and announcements in your channel.

How to post to Twitch from Claude Code

Add PostDelegate to Claude Code. Add the PostDelegate MCP server with the command below. Run /mcp inside Claude Code and authenticate the postdelegate server. Your browser opens to sign in.
Terminal
```
claude mcp add postdelegate --transport http "https://app.postdelegate.com/mcp-oauth-dynamic"
```
Connect Twitch in PostDelegate. On the calendar page choose Add Channel, then Twitch. Sign in with Twitch and approve the permissions. PostDelegate asks to read and write chat messages and to manage announcements in your chat.
Ask Claude Code for a draft. Describe the post in plain words. Claude Code checks your Twitch channel's rules, creates the post and sends back a preview link.

Teach Claude Code the posting rules

Save the PostDelegate skill to ~/.claude/skills/postdelegate/SKILL.md. Call it with /postdelegate, or just ask for a post and Claude Code loads it. Agent files has the steps.

What to ask Claude Code

Mention any Twitch setting in plain words and Claude Code fills it in. Claude Code can also read text files in your project, such as a changelog or a draft in Markdown.

Schedule a Twitch announcement in purple for Friday at 19:55: “Stream starts in five minutes.”
Draft three chat messages for tonight’s stream, each under 500 characters, one every half hour from 20:00.
Turn the schedule in stream-plan.md into chat announcements for this week, as drafts.

What Claude Code can do on your Twitch channel

Check the rules first. Before writing, it reads your Twitch channel's length limit (500 characters) and required settings.
Draft, schedule or post. It creates a draft, a scheduled post or an immediate post, and runs the same checks as the app.
Use your media. It attaches files from your media library or adds one from a public link.
Review and fix. It lists what is scheduled, changes the Twitch settings of a post that has not gone out, and deletes posts you no longer want.

Twitch is a live-streaming platform, and a scheduled message is a way to put a reminder, a schedule or a link in chat at a set time. Each post is sent to your channel's chat from your own Twitch account, up to 500 characters of text.

Twitch settings Claude Code can fill in

Before you start

Messages are text only. Images and video are not sent.
If Twitch stops accepting the saved sign-in, the channel asks you to reconnect and scheduled messages will not send until you do.

The Twitch channel guide has every field, and MCP tools lists exactly what an assistant can and cannot do.

Questions

Will Claude Code publish to Twitch without asking me?

Not unless you ask it to. Ask for a draft and the post waits on your calendar until you schedule it, and your workspace's approvals apply as usual. Tools that change data are marked as such, so Claude Code can ask you before it schedules or deletes anything.

Do I need an API key to connect Claude Code?

No. Claude Code signs in with your PostDelegate account through your browser. An API key is only for clients that cannot sign in, as described in MCP clients.

Does it cost extra to use Claude Code with PostDelegate?

No. The MCP server is on every plan, and Claude Code runs on your own Claude Code account, so PostDelegate never charges for AI. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial with no card.

Can Claude Code attach images or video to a Twitch post?

It can use files already in your media library, or add one from a public link. It cannot fetch files from your computer, so upload those in the app first. See MCP tools.

Can I schedule Twitch announcements as well as chat messages?

Yes. Set Message Type to Announcement and choose a colour: Primary, Blue, Green, Orange or Purple. Announcements are highlighted in chat.

Does the message come from my own Twitch account?

Yes. Each post is sent to your channel's chat from your own Twitch account, as text of up to 500 characters.
