Ghost Publisher tools (20, 5 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • apply_change_set

    Re-read and preflight the exact previewed batch, require an exact site-bound preview hash plus exact approval scopes, save a Ghost revision for every edit, verify readback, and stop after the first remote failure.

  • audit_content

    Inspect up to 25 exact posts or Pages for parseability, Lexical/card inventory, missing alt text and metadata, lengths, links, and a Sources/Kaynaklar heading. It does not crawl, score quality, or judge sources.

  • check_connection

    Verify Ghost authentication and report which optional features are configured without exposing secrets.

  • check_live_pages

    Read exact current published pages, select each public URL from Ghost or GHOST_PUBLIC_PAGE_URL_TEMPLATE, and verify HTTP status, title, canonical URL, and configured SEO metadata once.

  • check_live_posts

    Check configured public URLs once and verify HTTP status, expected title text, and any supplied rendered SEO metadata.

  • check_site_health

    Check server-selected Ghost and delivery surfaces, exact published targets, canonicals, share prerequisites, and Ghost-returned feature images without crawling or writing.

  • create_draftswrite action

    Create 1–10 posts as drafts from either Markdown or bounded native Ghost blocks, including formatted prose, lists, quotes, code, uploaded-image cards, and bookmarks. Image-card src values must come from upload_image in this server session. This tool cannot publish. Ordered tags preserve the primary tag.

  • create_page_draftswrite action

    Create 1–10 pages from either Markdown or bounded native Ghost blocks and always force draft status. Image-card src values must come from upload_image in this server session. Tags, authors, templates, code injection, and scheduling are unavailable.

  • get_page

    Get one page by exact Ghost ID or slug, including HTML, Lexical content, and complete SEO and social metadata.

  • get_postwrite action

    Get one post by its exact Ghost ID or slug, including HTML, Lexical content, and complete SEO and social metadata.

  • list_authors

    List bounded public author identities and post counts without exposing staff email or roles.

  • list_pages

    List bounded Ghost page records and obtain exact IDs plus updated_at values.

  • list_posts

    List concise Ghost post records. Use this before updating or publishing to obtain exact IDs and updated_at values.

  • list_tags

    List Ghost tags with post counts.

  • plan_schedule

    Convert an ordered draft list and IANA local start time into exact UTC timestamps with an HMAC-bound plan. This tool never writes, emails, deploys, or claims headless visibility.

  • preview_changes

    Read up to 25 exact posts or Pages and return full before snapshots, field and Lexical impact, required approval scopes, and a site-bound stateless preview hash. This tool never writes.

  • schedule_posts

    Schedule exact current drafts for future web publication. Requires user_confirmed=true and never sends newsletters or triggers deployment.

  • trigger_deploywrite action

    POST exactly once to the configured deployment hook after user_confirmed=true. The hook URL cannot be supplied by the caller and failures are never retried automatically.

  • unschedule_posts

    Return exact current scheduled posts to draft. Requires user_confirmed=true and never triggers deployment.

  • upload_imagewrite action

    Upload a local image inside GHOST_UPLOAD_ROOTS, including images generated by the AI client. Remote URLs, SVG, symlink escapes, and files over 20 MB are refused.

Ghost Publisher MCP

Write with your AI. Publish safely to Ghost.

An unofficial, local-first MCP server for creating and managing Ghost posts and Pages, diagnosing publication readiness, scheduling posts, uploading images, publishing approved batches, triggering static-site rebuilds, and verifying rendered content.

Ghost Publisher exposes a bounded editorial surface instead of mirroring the full Ghost Admin API. It has no delete, member, newsletter-send, theme, arbitrary-query, remote HTTP, OAuth, or built-in AI billing surface.

Ghost Publisher is maintained by BlogFactoryHQ and works independently. BlogFactory is the separate multi-site, draft-only control plane; Ghost Publisher is the local Ghost-specific server for separately approved scheduling and publishing. Installing one does not install or authorize the other.

Read the official overview and installation guide.

This project is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Ghost Foundation.

Current npm and official MCP Registry release: 0.10.1, published on 2026-08-25.

On 2026-08-16, setup discovery and a redacted dry run passed with ChatGPT desktop 26.810.41047 and its bundled Codex CLI 0.148.0-alpha.9; a read-only connection check reached Ghost 6.42. Cursor and Claude Desktop configuration generation is automated, but their current application runtimes were unavailable on the verification host. Please use the client compatibility issue form for redacted reports and never include an Admin key.

Proven in a daily publishing workflow

Ortak Alan uses Ghost Publisher in its maintainer-operated daily workflow across a 336-piece public archive. The team creates drafts, corrects metadata, uploads images, publishes approved batches, deploys once, and verifies the live result—at a reported cadence of five to six posts a day.

The manual version of that path took roughly 30 minutes per post. The operator now completes reviewed batches in minutes without dropping draft-first creation or public-result checks. During this publishing period, Search Console recorded 652 clicks and 65,000 impressions over three months; its latest captured 28-day view showed 500 clicks (+294%) and 51,900 impressions (+369%). This is operational outcome evidence, not a claim that this MCP alone caused organic growth. Read the full Ortak Alan case study.

Requirements

  • Node.js 22 or newer
  • A Ghost custom integration Admin API key
  • Optional: a deploy hook and public post/page URL templates for headless/static sites

Create a custom integration in Ghost Admin → Settings → Integrations, then copy its Admin API key.
