ghost-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enabling interaction with Ghost CMS through large language models such as Claude. It allows users to manage and control their Ghost blog by issuing natural language commands to LLMs. Rewritten from Python to TypeScript, it offers simplified installation via NPM, improved reliability with the official Ghost admin API client, and streamlined configuration using environment variables, making it a robust and maintainable solution for integrating Ghost CMS with AI workflows.

README

Ghost MCP Server

‼️ Important Notice: Python to TypeScript Migration

I've completely rewritten the Ghost MCP Server from Python to TypeScript in this v0.1.0 release. This major change brings several benefits:

  • Simplified installation: Now available as an NPM package (@fanyangmeng/ghost-mcp)
  • Improved reliability: Uses the official @tryghost/admin-api client instead of custom implementation
  • Better maintainability: TypeScript provides type safety and better code organization
  • Streamlined configuration: Simple environment variable setup

Breaking Changes

  • Python dependencies are no longer required
  • Configuration method has changed (now using Node.js environment variables)
  • Docker deployment has been simplified
  • Different installation process (now using NPM)

Please see the below updated documentation for details on migrating from the Python version. If you encounter any issues, feel free to open an issue on GitHub.
