MCP Server Medium

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for interacting with the Medium API. Allows AI agents to publish posts, manage publications, upload images, and parse RSS feeds to JSON.

Quick Start

# Run with uvx (no install needed) — uses MEDIUM_API_KEY env var
MEDIUM_API_KEY=your_token_here uvx mcp-server-medium

# Or use a config file instead
mkdir -p ~/.medium
echo 'api_key: your_token_here' > ~/.medium/config.yaml
uvx mcp-server-medium

# Or install and run
uv tool install mcp-server-medium
mcp-server-medium

Authentication

The server resolves your API key in this order:

  1. MEDIUM_API_KEY environment variable — best for MCP clients

  2. ~/.medium/config.yaml — persistent local config

Create ~/.medium/config.yaml:

api_key: your_integration_token_here

Get your token at medium.com/me/settings (look for "Integration Tokens").
