Ghost MCP

MCP server for Ghost CMS — lets Claude manage posts, pages, members, tags, and newsletters via the Ghost Admin API.

Setup

  1. Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your credentials:

GHOST_URL=https://your-site.ghost.io
GHOST_ADMIN_KEY=your_key_id:your_key_secret

Get the Staff Access Token from Ghost Admin → Settings → Integrations → Add custom integration.

  1. Install and build:

npm install
npm run build
  1. Test auth before connecting Claude:

npm run dev

If auth succeeds you'll see [ghost-mcp] Auth OK. On failure, the process exits with the Ghost error.
