Details
From the project README
LivePublicator MCP server
Publish press releases from ChatGPT, Claude and other AI assistants. Tell your assistant your news. It drafts the release with you, you check a private preview, and after you say publish, it goes live on its own page on LivePublicator. You never leave the chat.
Every release gets a permanent page with key facts, a quote, questions and answers and a press contact, in a clear, structured format that people, search engines and AI tools can read.

Pricing
Previews are free. Publishing uses 1 credit per release. Credits are bought on the LivePublicator website, never in the chat, and they never expire. If a release is not published, its credit comes back. See https://livepublicator.com/publish-from-ai#pricing.
Some releases wait for a person to check them before they go live (up to 24 hours). LivePublicator emails you when it is live.
Privacy and terms
LivePublicator receives only what your assistant sends to its tools (the release, its image and your account email), never your other chats.

Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
