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.

Package points at a different repository boragkc/ghost-publisher-mcp
пакет ghost-publisher-mcp ссылается на blogfactoryhq/ghost-publisher-mcp
Runs an external command src/setup.ts:52
  const result = spawnSync(command, args, { encoding: 'utf8', shell: false });

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add ghost-publisher -- npx -y ghost-publisher-mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: GHOST_URL (URL of the Ghost site.), GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY (Admin API key from a Ghost custom integration.), GHOST_API_VERSION (Ghost Admin API compatibility version; defaults to v5.0.), GHOST_PERMISSION_PROFILE (Permission profile: read-only, draft-editor, scheduler, or publisher. Defaults to publisher.), GHOST_READ_ONLY (Legacy alias for the read-only profile. Do not combine with GHOST_PERMISSION_PROFILE.), GHOST_UPLOAD_ROOTS (Allowed absolute directories for local image uploads.), GHOST_DEPLOY_HOOK_URL (Optional deployment hook called once after a completely successful publish or unpublish batch.), GHOST_PUBLIC_POST_URL_TEMPLATE (Optional public post URL containing {slug} for live checks.), GHOST_PUBLIC_PAGE_URL_TEMPLATE (Optional public page URL containing {slug} for headless live checks.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Ghost Publisher — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Ghost Publisher?
Ghost Publisher 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 npm package ghost-publisher-mcp was installed 76 times last week.
How do I connect Ghost Publisher?
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 ghost-publisher-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Ghost Publisher?
The npm package ghost-publisher-mcp was installed 76 times in the last week. Week over week that is +15%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Ghost Publisher open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript 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.
