MCP server for using the Ghost API
Ghost MCP MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. MCP server for using the Ghost API.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Ghost CMS through LLM interfaces like Claude. This server provides secure and comprehensive access to your Ghost blog, leveraging JWT authentication and a rich set of MCP tools for managing posts, users, members, tiers, offers, and newsletters.
Once Ghost MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Posts — The Posts tool exposed by this serverMembers — The Members tool exposed by this serverNewsletters — The Newsletters tool exposed by this serverOffers — The Offers tool exposed by this serverInvites — The Invites tool exposed by this serverRoles — The Roles tool exposed by this serverTags — The Tags tool exposed by this serverTiers — The Tiers tool exposed by this serverUsers — The Users tool exposed by this serverWebhooks — The Webhooks tool exposed by this serverSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
You will need 3 environment variables: GHOST_API_URL, GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY, GHOST_API_VERSION. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Ghost MCP's toolset — Posts, Members, Newsletters and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by MFYDev; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
