Is there a free Discord scheduler?

Yes, two kinds. Discord does not schedule posts itself, so anything that schedules Discord is a client on top of it. Ours is free too: 10 posts a day across every network you connect, no card, and the same queue is driveable by your own agent.

How many characters can a Discord post be?

2,000, and 10 images, 10 video, a PDF document, from Discord's own documentation as we last read it on 2026-09-29. We enforce the same table before a draft is queued, so a post that breaks a rule is fixed rather than rejected at publish time.

Can an AI agent schedule my Discord posts?

Yes, on the free plan. Add https://shapelessai.com/mcp to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP host and the posts_create tool schedules through your connected Discord account, or call POST /api/posts with a scoped key, or run the CLI. Publishing tools are flagged so the host asks you before anything goes out.

Can I schedule a first comment on Discord?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. firstComment is accepted for LinkedIn, X and Bluesky only; on Discord the API answers 422 and names the rule. Discord has no equivalent we can publish reliably.

What does the free plan cost me later?

Nothing for the rail. Scheduling and publishing never spend credits. The $5 refilled each month is for the agents that research, write, design and render - a paid plan refills more of it and lifts the daily cap.

Free Discord scheduler

Write it once, put it in the queue, and it goes out at the hour you picked. 10 posts a day on the free plan, across every network you connect, with no card. The same queue is driveable by your own agent, which is the part most free plans fence off.

What Discord allows in a post

What Discord allows in one post
Text	2,000 Unicode code points
Images	up to 10, .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .webp, 20 MB each
Video	10 per post, .mp4, .mov, .webm, 20 MB
Documents	10 PDF, no title needed
Mentions	User/role mentions need snowflake ids (<@id>) - plain text unless verified.

Discord allows 2,000 characters per post and 10 images, 10 video, a PDF document, from Discord's own documentation as read on 2026-09-29. Shapeless enforces that table before a draft is queued. The full table is on the Discord spec page; check a draft yourself with the free Discord character counter.

Discord has no scheduler of its own

Nowhere for messages. Discord's Scheduled Events put a voice, stage or external event on the server's calendar; they do not post a message later.

Why there is nothing to use

Never for a post that should land while you are away. Events are the right tool only when the thing you are announcing is a live session.

Discord documents Scheduled Events, which announce a session ahead of time - not a way to send a channel message at a set time.
Anything that posts to a channel on a schedule is a bot or a webhook, ours included.

Read from Discord Support: Scheduled Events on 2026-09-29. Platforms move menus; the source is the place to check.

Schedule it by hand

Three screens, and they are the only nouns we use. Manual scheduling writes one post yourself and lets any account say it its own way from its preview. Queue drops it into the next free slot for that account, so you never pick an hour twice. Calendar shows the week and lets you drag a post to a different day.

Connect Discord once, under Accounts, through Discord's own sign-in.
Open Manual scheduling, pick the Discord account, write the post. The preview beside it is Discord's own chrome, not a rectangle.
Press Add to queue for the next free slot, Schedule for an exact time, or Post now. All three are always on screen.

When the queue fires. Each connected account carries its own posting times, in your zone. Add to queue drops the post into the next free slot for that account, so you pick the hours once and never pick an hour again. We do not guess a best time for you.

After it is queued. Calendar shows the week; a post still in the queue can be opened and rewritten, dragged to another day, or cancelled, right up to the moment it goes out. An agent sees the same queue through posts_list and posts_get.

Composing, scheduling and publishing never spend credits. The $5 refilled each month is only for the agents that research, write, design and render.

Schedule it from an agent

The same post, the same queue, three interfaces. Mint a scoped key under Settings → API keys, or add our Discord MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or your own host and let it call posts_create. Tools that publish are flagged, so the host asks you first.

Give your agent an API key (Settings → API keys) and the docs, then say what to post. It finds your accounts and the queue on its own.

The calls, if you want them

REST

curl -X POST https://shapelessai.com/api/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SHAPELESS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"connectionId":"CONNECTION_ID","postText":"Onboarding got rebuilt this week - here is what changed for you.","queue":true}'

MCP tool call

{
  "name": "posts_create",
  "arguments": {
    "connectionId": "CONNECTION_ID",
    "text": "Onboarding got rebuilt this week - here is what changed for you.",
    "queue": true
  }
}

CLI

shapeless posts create --to CONNECTION_ID --text "Onboarding got rebuilt this week - here is what changed for you." --queue

Swap "queue": true for "scheduledAt": "2026-09-20T09:00:00Z" to pin an exact minute; leave both out and it publishes now.

Over the daily cap the API answers 402 with free_daily_cap, the limit and the reset time, so an agent can wait rather than retry blindly.
