# DEV.to MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > DEV.to lets you manage your technical blog directly from your AI agent. Publish articles, search for content, and organize your portfolio without leaving your workspace. It turns your AI into a publishing assistant that handles the heavy lifting of content management. ## Overview - **Category:** developer-tools - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_8Q9pKiLPPQaS678xHaeenXMqZtmnMC4fmy8xZzn5/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** blogging, technical-writing, community, articles, dev-to ## Description Writing technical content is often a chore of context switching. You finish a piece of code, then have to jump to a browser, log in, navigate to a dashboard, copy-paste your markdown, manually select tags, and then wait for the page to refresh. It's a constant interruption to your creative flow. This Connector changes that. Instead of leaving your workspace, you can simply tell your AI agent to draft, publish, or update your content. You get to stay in your notes or IDE, keeping your focus where it belongs, while the agent handles the heavy lifting of the DEV.to platform. By adding this to your setup via the Vinkius catalog, you get a dedicated technical editor that understands your content goals. You can manage your organization's articles, moderate comments, or even just keep an eye on your reading list without ever opening a new window. It's a way to make your technical writing feel like a natural extension of your development work rather than a separate administrative task. ## Tools ### create_page Create a custom page on your profile.
