Connect Ghost (Publishing & Newsletter Platform API) MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect Ghost (Publishing & Newsletter Platform API) to Cline and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Create and Update Ghost Content
This toolset lets Cline act as your content assistant. Ask it to "draft a post about our new feature," and it will use `admin_create_post` to create a draft directly in your Ghost admin. No more copy-pasting from your editor. Cline can also manage existing content. Tell it to "update the post with this slug" and it uses `admin_update_post`. Need to remove an old article? `admin_delete_post` handles that. It's all done from the chat panel, with the changes reflected in your Ghost instance immediately.
Manage Your Ghost Audience in VS Code
Stop switching tabs to manage your members. With this MCP server, you can tell Cline to add a new user with `admin_create_member` or get a list of your current audience with `admin_list_members`. It's great for quickly adding test users or exporting a segment of your audience. Cline can also see your site's structure. It uses `content_list_tiers` and `admin_list_offers` to understand your pricing and membership levels. This allows it to correctly assign new members or answer questions about your subscription model.
Cline Fetches Live Content for Your Code
This is where the integration gets powerful. Tell Cline to "build a React component that displays the 5 latest blog posts," and it will use `content_list_posts` to fetch live data from your Ghost site. It doesn't need mock data; it works with the real thing. Your agent can query for posts, pages, authors, and tags using the `content_*` tools. These tools support Ghost's NQL filtering, so your requests can be specific. For example: "get all authors who have written about 'SaaS' and use them to populate this dropdown."
