Syncpen tools (20, 6 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
syncpen_createwrite actionCreate a new SyncPen document.
syncpen_create_folderwrite actionCreate a new folder in your SyncPen account.
syncpen_delete_documentwrite actionDelete a document (moved to trash). Only the document owner can delete it.
syncpen_delete_folderwrite actionDelete a folder (moved to trash) along with its subfolders and the documents you own within them.
syncpen_list_commentsRead the comment threads on a document (top-level comments with their replies, line numbers, authors, and resolved state).
syncpen_list_connectionsList your connected CMS targets (WordPress, Ghost, Sanity) and their connectionIds. Use before syncpen_publish to find the connectionId when a target has more than one active connection.
syncpen_list_documentsList documents in your SyncPen account, optionally filtered by folder.
syncpen_list_foldersList all folders in your SyncPen account.
syncpen_list_suggestionsList a document's suggestions so you can see what is still pending. Defaults to pending only; pass status 'all' to include accepted/rejected.
syncpen_move_documentMove a document into a folder, or to the root (un-foldered).
syncpen_move_folderMove a folder under a new parent folder, or to the root. Rejects circular moves and moves that exceed the nesting depth limit.
syncpen_publishwrite actionPublish a SyncPen document to a connected CMS (WordPress, Ghost, or Sanity). Auto-selects the connection when only one is active for the target; otherwise pass connectionId.
syncpen_readRead a SyncPen document's content as markdown. Use the document ID from search or list results.
syncpen_recent_changesA time-ordered feed of recent workspace changes — who created, edited, or trashed which documents, and when. Surfaces both in-app human edits and agent/API writes. Use it to catch up on what changed since you last looked (pass `since`), or to scope to one folder.
syncpen_rename_folderRename an existing SyncPen folder.
syncpen_reply_commentReply to a comment thread. The reply is posted under the agent's name and notifies any @mentioned members.
syncpen_resolve_commentMark a comment thread as resolved after acting on it.
syncpen_searchSearch SyncPen documents by title and body content (full text). Use this to find documents about a specific topic.
syncpen_suggest_editPropose an edit to a document as a pending suggestion that a human accepts or rejects in the editor. The document is NOT changed until accepted. Use this instead of syncpen_update when you want human approval. Anchor the edit either by character offsets {from,to} or by a unique snippet {text} to replace.
syncpen_updatewrite actionUpdate an existing SyncPen document's title and/or content.

Syncpen MCP Server
Connect Claude Code (or any MCP client) to your Syncpen workspace — the writing workspace your AI can actually write in. Your agent can search, read, draft, suggest, comment, organize, and publish in the same live documents you edit.

What is Syncpen great at?
- Build a knowledge base your AI maintains — capture notes, docs, and clips, then let your agent organize, cross-link, and keep it current.
- Write long-form where you publish — articles, docs, whole books; your agent drafts, you approve, and one call ships it to WordPress, Ghost, or Sanity.
- Your agents and you on one project — everyone works in the same live documents; every edit is shared, legible, and attributed.
- Edits with a paper trail — agents propose changes as signed suggestions you accept or reject. Nothing changes silently.
- Research → draft → ship without leaving your tools — clip sources, let your AI draft from them, publish.
Quick Setup
1. Generate an API Key
- Go to Settings → API Keys in your Syncpen account
- Enable API Access
- Create a new API key
- Copy the key (you'll only see it once!)
2. Configure Claude Code
Add to your MCP configuration file (~/.mcp.json or project-level .mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"syncpen": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "syncpen-mcp"],
"env": {
"SYNCPEN_API_KEY": "sp_your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}That's it! Claude Code will automatically download and run the MCP server.
