Ghost MCP Server

A server that integrates Ghost CMS with Claude AI through the FastMCP framework.

Requirements

  • Python 3.11+
  • uv - Required to run this server

Setup

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended): 
    uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
  3. Install dependencies using uv (dependencies are defined in pyproject.toml): 
    uv pip install .
  4. Set up environment variables by copying .env.example to .env: 
    cp .env.example .env
  5. Configure your .env file with your Ghost API credentials: 
    GHOST_API_KEY=your_ghost_api_key_here
GHOST_API_URL=https://your-ghost-blog.com/ghost/api/admin/posts
GHOST_API_VERSION=v5.116.1

Claude Desktop Configuration

To use this server with Claude Desktop, you need to configure it in Claude's MCP settings:

  1. Open Claude Desktop
  2. Go to Settings > Developer > MCP Servers
  3. Add a new MCP Server configuration similar to:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ghost-mcp": {
      "command": "/path/to/your/uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/your/ghost-mcp",
        "run",
        "mcp_server.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/your/uv with the actual path to your uv executable and /path/to/your/ghost-mcp with the absolute path to this project directory.

Usage

Once configured, you can use the ghost_post tool from Claude to create blog posts directly in your Ghost CMS:

Create a blog post with title "My First Post" and content "Hello, world!"

The tool supports the following parameters:

  • title: The title of the blog post
  • content: Markdown content for the post
  • author_id: ID of the author (default: "1")
  • tags: List of tag names
  • status: Post status (draft, published)
  • feature_image: URL for the post's cover image
  • code_language: Default language for code blocks

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.
