What the code does

We read the source, 3 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MEDIUM_INTEGRATION_TOKEN (Legacy Medium Integration Token (api.medium.com/v1/*). Optional. Generate at medium.com/me/settings → 'Integration tokens' (note: Medium stopped issuing new tokens in 2023).), MEDIUM_SID (Medium 'sid' cookie value from medium.com (Application → Cookies). Used for authenticated reads + dashboard GraphQL.), MEDIUM_UID (Medium 'uid' cookie value. Required alongside sid for some authenticated endpoints.), MEDIUM_XSRF (Medium 'xsrf' cookie value. Required for any dashboard write (post_response, publish_post, delete_post, draft updates).), MEDIUM_CF_CLEARANCE (Cloudflare 'cf_clearance' cookie. Only required when Cloudflare challenges your IP for dashboard write calls.), MEDIUM_USERNAME (Your Medium handle (without the @). Required for the public RSS read path so the client knows whose feed to fetch.), MEDIUM_OPS_MCP_PATH (Override path to the mcp.json file the auth layer reads. Defaults to ~/.cursor/mcp.json.), MEDIUM_OPS_LLM_CMD (Optional: override the host CLI used by the unattended daemon path (default: auto-detect claude / cursor-agent / codex on PATH). Use {prompt} placeholder if your CLI takes the prompt as an arg.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

medium-ops — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for medium-ops?
medium-ops runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package medium-ops was installed 80 times last week.
How do I connect medium-ops?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls medium-ops straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use medium-ops?
The pypi package medium-ops was installed 80 times in the last week. Week over week that is -20%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is medium-ops open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
