Publish drafts from Claude Desktop

The `create_post` tool lets your agent write and publish raw markdown drafts directly to your blog from the chat interface. You feed the agent your local notes, and it formats the headers, inserts code blocks, and publishes the piece. This setup eliminates the constant copy-pasting between your text editor and the browser. Your Claude Desktop client handles the formatting rules so your code snippets render with correct syntax highlighting on the first run.

Update existing articles using this MCP Server

The `update_post` tool modifies your live articles when you need to fix a typo or update a code snippet. You tell your agent which paragraph to rewrite, and it pushes the changes directly to your live publication. Instead of hunting down the edit button in a web dashboard, you control your content through standard chat commands. This keeps your documentation accurate without breaking the layout of your active posts.

Fetch and analyze publication history

The `get_publication_posts` tool retrieves your entire article history to let your agent review past topics and formatting styles. It pulls down the metadata so you can plan your next article based on what you already published. Having this context inside Claude Desktop prevents you from repeating old content. Your agent scans the retrieved list to suggest relevant internal links for your new drafts automatically.
