Notipo

Open-source WordPress publishing for AI agents — MCP server, REST API, and CLI. Or sync from Notion.

Point your agent (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, n8n, any HTTP client) at Notipo and it publishes to your self-hosted WordPress — no plugin required. Notipo handles the full pipeline: markdown → Gutenberg conversion, image hosting in your WordPress media library, AI- or Unsplash-generated featured images, and Rank Math / Yoast / SEOPress / AIOSEO metadata applied automatically on publish.

Two ways to publish to WordPress

1. From Notion

Connect Notion, change a page status to Post to Wordpress or Publish, and Notipo handles the rest — markdown extraction, image caching to WP media library, featured image generation, SEO metadata via Rank Math / Yoast / SEOPress / AIOSEO.

2. From an AI agent, REST API, CLI, or n8n workflow

Notipo exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with 13 tools for AI agents, plus a REST API and a CLI. Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, ChatGPT — any MCP-compatible agent can publish posts end-to-end.

# CLI: publish a post end-to-end
npm install -g notipo
notipo posts create --title "Why Every Dev Should Have a Blog" --publish

# REST API: one call runs the full pipeline
curl -X POST https://app.notipo.com/api/posts/create \
  -H "X-API-Key: $NOTIPO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title":"Hello","body":"## Intro\n\nMarkdown in, WordPress out.","publish":true}'

// MCP: drop into Claude Desktop config

      "url": "https://app.notipo.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "x-api-key": "your-api-key" }
    }
  }
}

Hosted SaaS vs. self-hosting

The hosted version at notipo.com is the supported, batteries-included product — managed infrastructure, automatic upgrades, instant Notion webhook delivery, and a free tier with 5 posts/month. Pro is $19/month for unlimited posts plus AI featured images.

This repository is the same code that runs the hosted product. You can self-host it under the AGPL-3.0 license — see DEVELOPMENT.md for the local dev story and docker-compose.yml for production deployment with Traefik + Let's Encrypt.

Self-hosting is unsupported — no help beyond what's in this repo, no upgrade path. If you need any of those, the hosted product is faster, cheaper, and already running.

Tech stack

• Backend: Fastify, TypeScript, Prisma, PostgreSQL 17

• Job queue: pg-boss (Postgres-backed, no Redis)

• Frontend (admin): Next.js 16 + shadcn/ui + Tailwind

• AI: Google Gemini (featured images), Model Context Protocol (agent integration)

• Other: Sharp (images), Stripe (billing), Resend (transactional email), Sentry (errors), PostHog (product analytics), Notion SDK, WordPress REST API

• CLI: zero-dependency npm package, native fetch only

Monorepo (Turborepo + npm workspaces):

apps/
  api/     — Fastify backend, MCP server, job workers
  web/     — Next.js admin UI
packages/
  cli/     — `notipo` npm package (MIT-licensed thin client)
  shared/  — TypeScript types and enums
plugins/
  notipo-seo-meta-writer/  — WordPress plugin for Yoast/AIOSEO metadata bridge

Quick start (self-host)

You'll need: Docker, Docker Compose, a domain pointed at your server, a Notion integration, and a WordPress site with Application Passwords enabled (WP 5.6+).

git clone https://github.com/kfuras/notipo-app.git
cd notipo-app
cp apps/api/.env.example .env
# Edit .env — at minimum set DATABASE_URL, ENCRYPTION_KEY, API_KEY,
# DOMAIN, ACME_EMAIL, RESEND_API_KEY
docker compose up -d

The compose stack pulls multi-arch images (linux/amd64 + linux/arm64) from ghcr.io/kfuras/notipo-api and ghcr.io/kfuras/notipo-web, so it works on both x86 servers and Apple Silicon / ARM hardware.

The compose stack starts Traefik + the API + admin UI + Postgres, with Let's Encrypt TLS on first run. See docker-compose.yml for details.

For local development without Docker:

docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up   # Postgres only
npm install
npm run migrate -w @notipo/api
turbo dev                                      # API on :3000, web on :3001

In plain English:

• ✅ You can use, modify, and self-host Notipo for any purpose, including commercial.

• ✅ You can fork it and contribute changes back.

• ⚠️ If you run a modified version as a hosted service, you must publish your modifications under the same license. This is the "Affero clause" — it closes the network-service loophole that plain GPL leaves open.

• ✅ The notipo CLI package is published to npm under MIT (it's just a thin API client wrapper).

• ✅ The notipo-seo-meta-writer WordPress plugin is published under MIT (compatible with WordPress's GPL ecosystem).

If you want to use Notipo's code in a proprietary hosted product without AGPL obligations, open an issue — commercial licensing may be available.
