🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

  1. Ghost Blog with Admin API access
  2. Ghost Blog Smart API deployed (Instructions)
  3. Cloudflare account (free tier works)
  4. GitHub account for OAuth

Step 1: Deploy Ghost Blog Smart API

# Quick start with Docker docker run -d -p 5000:5000 \ -e GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY=your_ghost_key \ -e GHOST_API_URL=https://your-blog.com \ -e GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_key \ -e REPLICATE_API_TOKEN=your_replicate_token \ --name ghost-blog-api \ betashow/ghost-blog-smart-api

Step 2: Clone and Configure

git clone https://github.com/preangelleo/ghost-blog-management-mcp.git cd ghost-blog-management-mcp npm install

Step 3: Setup GitHub OAuth

Create a GitHub OAuth App:

  • Application name: Ghost Blog Management
  • Homepage URL: http://localhost:8792
  • Callback URL: http://localhost:8792/callback

Step 4: Configure Environment

cp .dev.vars.example .dev.vars

Edit .dev.vars:

GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your_github_client_id GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=your_github_client_secret COOKIE_ENCRYPTION_KEY=your_api_key # Must match Ghost Blog Smart API

Step 5: Configure Authorization

Choose your access control mode in .dev.vars:

Option 1: Private Mode (Recommended for production)

# Only specific GitHub users can access AUTHORIZED_USERS=your-github-username # For multiple users: AUTHORIZED_USERS=user1,user2,user3

Option 2: Public Mode

# All authenticated GitHub users can access AUTHORIZED_USERS= # Or simply don't set the variable

Update the Ghost Blog API URL in src/tools/ghost-blog-tools.ts if needed:

// Line 6: Your Ghost Blog Smart API URL const API_BASE_URL = 'http://localhost:5000'; // or your production URL

Step 6: Start Development Server

npm run dev # Server runs at http://localhost:8792

Step 7: Configure Claude Desktop

Add to Claude Desktop settings:

{ "mcpServers": { "ghost-blog": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-remote", "http://localhost:8792/mcp"], "env": {} } } }

💡 Advanced Features

🎯 Three-Level Credential System

Perfect for managing multiple blogs:

Level 1: Dynamic Selection (Highest Priority)
// Pass credentials directly in tool parameters await ghost_create_post({ title: "My Post", content: "Content here", ghost_admin_api_key: "blog2_key", // Override default ghost_api_url: "https://blog2.com" // Override default })
Level 2: Worker Configuration
# Set for entire Worker deployment wrangler secret put CUSTOM_GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY wrangler secret put CUSTOM_GHOST_API_URL
Level 3: Backend Defaults

Uses Ghost Blog Smart API's configured blog - no additional setup needed.

📄 Posts vs Pages Support

// Create a blog post (default) await ghost_create_post({ title: "Blog Post Title", content: "Blog content...", post_type: "post" // Optional, this is default }) // Create a static page await ghost_create_post({ title: "About Us", content: "Company information...", post_type: "page" // Creates a page instead of post })

🎨 AI Image Generation Options

// Ultra-fast generation with Flux (3-7 seconds) await ghost_create_post({ title: "My Post", content: "Content", use_generated_feature_image: true, prefer_flux: true }) // Professional quality with Imagen (10-15 seconds) await ghost_create_post({ title: "My Post", content: "Content", use_generated_feature_image: true, prefer_imagen: true })

🌟 Usage Examples in Claude

Batch Operations

"Use ghost_advanced_search to find all posts tagged 'technology', then use ghost_batch_get_details to get their full content"

Update with AI Images

"Use ghost_update_post_image on post ID abc123 to generate a new feature image using Imagen"

🚀 Production Deployment

Deploy to Cloudflare Workers

# Login to Cloudflare wrangler login # Create KV namespace for OAuth wrangler kv namespace create "OAUTH_KV" # Add the namespace_id to wrangler.jsonc # Deploy to production npm run deploy # Set production secrets wrangler secret put GITHUB_CLIENT_ID wrangler secret put GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET wrangler secret put COOKIE_ENCRYPTION_KEY # Optional: Set authorization control # For private mode (specific users only): wrangler secret put AUTHORIZED_USERS # Enter: "user1,user2,user3" # For public mode (all GitHub users), don't set this or set empty # Optional: Set custom Ghost blog (Level 2) wrangler secret put CUSTOM_GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY wrangler secret put CUSTOM_GHOST_API_URL
