Ghost

You can connect to Ghost via a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to securely manage your Ghost blog through powerful natural language interfaces. This server exposes a rich set of operations for posts, users, members, newsletters, offers, tags, tiers, and more, while handling authentication and structured output for clear interactions with your Ghost CMS.

How to use

To use the Ghost MCP server with an MCP client, configure the client to connect to the local or remote MCP endpoint that runs the server. You will typically enable secure access to Ghost through the provided Admin API and specify the Ghost site URL, Admin API key, and API version in environment variables. Once configured, you can browse, read, create, update, and delete Ghost entities via natural-language prompts processed by the MCP server.

How to install

Prerequisites: You need Node.js and npm installed on your system.

Install and run the MCP server using the provided npm-based command shown in the usage example.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ghost_mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@fanyangmeng/ghost-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GHOST_API_URL": "https://yourblog.com",
        "GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY": "your_admin_api_key",
        "GHOST_API_VERSION": "v5.0"
      }
    }
  }
}

Additional setup notes

The MCP server uses JWT-based authentication for Ghost Admin API requests and offers comprehensive access to Ghost resources such as posts, members, newsletters, offers, and webhooks. Ensure you keep your Admin API key secure and rotate it if needed.

Security considerations

Store Ghost API credentials securely in environment variables and limit access to the MCP server. Use environment-specific keys and consider rotating credentials periodically.

Troubleshooting tips

If you encounter authentication or connection issues, verify that the GHOST_API_URL, GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY, and GHOST_API_VERSION values are correct and that the Ghost Admin API is reachable from the MCP server host.

Notes

The server integrates with the official Ghost Admin API client for reliable interaction with your Ghost CMS and outputs detailed, human-friendly results for each operation.
