Connect Ghost (Publishing & Newsletter Platform API) MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Ghost (Publishing & Newsletter Platform API) to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Draft and Manage Posts Autonomously
This MCP server gives Windsurf direct control over your Ghost publication. Tell it to create a new article from a set of notes, and Cascade uses `admin_create_post` to get it done. It can also update existing articles with `admin_update_post` or remove them entirely using `admin_delete_post`. Your agent can also check on your content inventory. It pulls lists of all your posts, pages, and newsletters with tools like `admin_list_posts` and `admin_list_newsletters`. This is perfect for when you need Windsurf to find related content or summarize what's already been published on a topic.
Automate Audience and Tier Management
Let Windsurf handle your member list. Give it a goal like "add these new signups to the premium tier," and Cascade chains `admin_create_member` and other tools to execute the task. It's not just about adding people; your agent can get a full picture of your audience using `admin_list_members`. This server also exposes your site's structure. Windsurf can query your membership tiers with `content_list_tiers` and see active subscription offers with `admin_list_offers`. It uses this data to make smarter decisions about audience segmentation without you needing to intervene.
Build Content Feeds with this MCP Server
Connect Windsurf to your public-facing Ghost content. Your agent can use `content_list_posts`, `content_list_pages`, and `content_list_tags` to read anything on your site. The tools support NQL filtering, so you can ask for very specific information, like "find all posts tagged 'api' from last month." This isn't just for reading. Windsurf can use this data as context for other tasks. For example, it could fetch your site settings with `content_get_settings` to understand your publication's branding, then use that information to draft a new post that matches your site's tone and style.
