Ghost FAQs

Question 1

What is Ghost MCP?

Accepted Answer

Ghost MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a server that enables you to manage your Ghost CMS blog content, including posts and tags, directly from AI clients like Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible platforms.

Question 2

Which AI clients are supported by Ghost MCP?

Accepted Answer

Ghost MCP is designed to integrate seamlessly with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor, allowing you to control your Ghost blog content from within these AI environments.

Question 3

Why might draft posts appear empty in Ghost Admin after creation?

Accepted Answer

Ghost v5 uses an internal Lexical format, while Ghost MCP creates posts in HTML/Markdown. While published posts display correctly on your site, draft posts in the Ghost admin editor may appear empty due to this format conversion. This is normal behavior and doesn't affect the actual content.

Question 4

What content management features does Ghost MCP offer?

Accepted Answer

You can create, edit, publish, or draft blog posts, search existing content by status, tags, or query, manage your content tags, access basic analytics, and delete unwanted posts directly from your AI client.

Question 5

Is it easy to set up Ghost MCP with my Ghost CMS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, setup involves installing the NPM package and configuring environment variables with your Ghost site URL and API keys (Admin and Content API keys, obtained from Ghost Admin's Integrations settings). Specific instructions are provided for Claude and Cursor.
