Script Your Ghost Admin Tasks

Connect Claude Code to your Ghost Admin API and stop using the web UI for repetitive tasks. You can create a new post draft from a local markdown file by piping it into `admin_create_post`. It's perfect for programmatic content generation. This isn't just for creating content. You can build scripts to delete old posts with `admin_delete_post` or update them with `admin_update_post`. Combine these with cron to automate your content lifecycle without ever opening a browser.

Manage Members and Newsletters via CLI

Use Claude Code to manage your Ghost audience from the terminal. Pipe a list of emails to `admin_create_member` to bulk-import new users. Or, run `admin_list_members | jq '.' > members.json` to get a full backup of your member list. This MCP server also gives you the building blocks for any audience automation you can think of. Set up a cron job to run `admin_list_newsletters` and get a notification when a new one is published.

Pull Public Content for Headless Setups

Use the `content_*` tools to fetch public data from your Ghost site. This is ideal for static site generators or other headless projects. A simple command like `claude mcp exec ghost content_list_posts --filter 'tag:getting-started'` pulls exactly what you need. All public content tools, including `content_list_pages` and `content_list_tags`, support NQL filtering. You can build complex queries to populate data for other services or run analysis on your published content. The output is clean JSON, ready to be piped to `jq` or another process.
