description Overview
mcp-ghost — Ghost MCP Server
Create, publish, and manage Ghost blog posts, pages, and members from your AI agents.
Ghost is the open-source publishing platform used by independent creators and media teams for newsletters, blogs, and membership sites. This MCP server connects your AI agents directly to your Ghost Admin API — enabling automated content creation, publishing workflows, and member management without logging into the Ghost dashboard.
Live endpoint: https://mcp.aerostack.dev/s/aerostack/mcp-ghost
What You Can Do
- Draft and publish posts programmatically — useful for content pipelines that generate articles from data sources or external triggers

- Maintain your pages (About, Landing pages) with the same tools as posts

Frequently asked questions
What is the Ghost MCP server and what can it do? +
The Ghost MCP server is hosted on Aerostack and exposes these tools to your AI agent: `_ping`, `list_posts`, `get_post`, `create_post`, `update_post`. You get one hosted URL — no self-hosting — that works from Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client, and you can share it with your team or combine it with other MCP servers in a workspace.
Is the Ghost MCP server hosted, or do I have to run it myself? +
It's hosted on Aerostack's edge infrastructure — you don't deploy or maintain anything. Add it to a workspace and you get one authenticated URL, with secrets encrypted, that any AI agent or editor can connect to. Use it solo or share the same URL across your whole team.
Which AI agents and editors can use the Ghost MCP server? +
Any MCP client: Claude and Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code, and custom agents. Because it's one hosted URL, the same Ghost MCP server works everywhere — and you can compose it with other MCP servers, skills, and functions behind a single workspace URL.
How do I install the Ghost MCP server in Claude Desktop? +
Add the following to your Claude Desktop config (`claude_desktop_config.json`): ```json { "mcpServers": { "@aerostack/mcp-ghost": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@aerostack/@aerostack/mcp-ghost"] } } } ``` Then restart Claude Desktop and the tools will appear automatically.
How do I use the Ghost MCP server in Cursor? +
In Cursor, open **Settings → MCP** and add: ```json { "name": "@aerostack/mcp-ghost", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@aerostack/@aerostack/mcp-ghost"] } ``` Save and reload Cursor. The MCP tools will be available in Agent mode.
Does Ghost MCP require authentication? +
Yes. Ghost requires authentication. Check the MCP's documentation for the required credentials.
