Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 5 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Tracking content trends used to be a nightmare of clicks and bookmarks.
Before this server, finding out what's genuinely trending was painful. You had to open the Tumblr website, manually check different feed sections, try to find specific tags, and then copy those links into a spreadsheet just to track them. It was slow, tedious, and you always missed something.
Now? Your agent handles it. Just ask it to run `list_tagged_posts` for 'illustration'. Boom. You get clean data right in the chat window with all the posts matching that tag. Done.
The Tumblr MCP Server: Pull structured blog content via tools.
Manually checking a brand's history means visiting their page, clicking 'posts,' remembering to filter by photos vs. text, and then copying individual links for every piece of content you care about. It’s an absolute time sink.
With `list_blog_posts` and the other tools, you skip the UI entirely. You tell your agent which blog you want and what type of post you're looking for—it just gives you a clean list. Seriously, it changes everything.
What you can do with this MCP connector
The Tumblr MCP Server connects your AI client straight into the Tumblr API. It lets you pull structured data about blogs and posts—you can list all content under a specific tag, check an account's avatar details, or fetch complete metadata for any individual post. You use this when you need to manage social blogging activity and track trends without clicking through endless feeds.
Reading Up on Accounts and Profiles
If you wanna know the general scoop on a blog, start with get_blog_info. This tool pulls comprehensive information about an entire Tumblr account. It gives you much more than just a name; it provides detailed metadata that paints a full picture of the profile itself. You can use this to get background context on any specified blog.
When all you need is the visual identity, get_blog_avatar handles that. Just give it the blog's hostname and it'll grab the avatar URL for you. It’s quick work; you don't gotta dig around just to find a profile picture link.
Content Discovery: Searching and Listing Posts
You can pull lists of posts in two main ways: by source or by subject. If you know exactly which blog you wanna check out, list_blog_posts lets you pull multiple published posts from that specific account. It’s smart because it lets you filter those results by content type—whether it's photos, text blocks, quotes, or something else.
This keeps your data clean and targeted.
If you don't know the source but you know what you want to find, use list_tagged_posts. You just drop in a tag name, and this tool searches across the whole platform for every post that matches that keyword. It’s how you track down trends or see what everyone else is posting about right now.
Deep Dive into Specific Content
Sometimes you need more than just a list; you gotta get the full story on one piece of content. get_post fetches all available data for a single, specific post ID. This is perfect when you're doing detailed analysis—you can pull exact content details or check engagement metrics attached to that one item.
So, whether you’re pulling general account metadata with get_blog_info, grabbing the avatar link with get_blog_avatar, listing filtered posts from a single source using list_blog_posts, searching for trends across Tumblr with list_tagged_posts, or digging into every detail of one item with get_post, you've got what you need to manage and analyze your microblogging data directly through your agent.
You never gotta leave the terminal.

How Tumblr MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the server and enter your Tumblr API Consumer Key (you find this in your developer apps).
- 2 Tell your AI client what you need. For example: 'List all photo posts from the blog X' or 'What's trending with #illustration?'
- 3 The agent runs the necessary tool (
list_blog_posts,list_tagged_posts, etc.) and gives you a clean, actionable list of data.
The bottom line is: it lets your AI client talk to Tumblr's backend like it’s a local database query—no messy browser clicking required.

Real-World Use Cases
Finding inspiration for a new campaign
A marketer needs to see what kind of illustrations are hot right now. Instead of manually clicking through feeds, they ask their agent to run list_tagged_posts with the tag 'illustration'. The agent returns a list of 20 recent examples, giving them immediate source material.
Building a competitive analysis report
A strategist wants to compare three competitors' latest activity. They use list_blog_posts on each competitor’s blog name in one prompt. The agent returns structured lists of the last 15 posts, making side-by-side comparison simple.
Validating a client link
A writer is about to publish an article referencing 'officialtumblr.' Instead of going to Tumblr and checking, they ask their agent to run get_blog_info first. The agent confirms the blog's official status and follower count immediately.
Curating a themed content roundup
A community manager is building a roundup of top tech blogs. They ask their agent to run get_blog_avatar on 10 different names. The agent confirms the profile picture and basic info for every single blog in one batch, saving hours of manual verification.
The Tradeoffs
Trying to find content by just a keyword
Asking the agent: 'Show me posts about dogs.' This is too vague; Tumblr searches are complex, and you'll get junk data.
→
You need tags. Use list_tagged_posts with specific, known tags like '#dogsofinstagram'. That keeps the search tight and focused.
Asking for all user posts without limits
Prompting: 'List every post from this blog.' This will likely hit API rate limits or return an unmanageable, incomplete dump of data.
→
Always use list_blog_posts and specify a type (e.g., photos) or limit the list size in your prompt to keep the response actionable.
Trying to analyze engagement on multiple posts at once
Asking: 'Give me stats for these 5 posts.' The agent can't predict which IDs you want.
→
You must first use list_blog_posts to get a list of post IDs, then feed those specific IDs into the get_post tool.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your core need is querying structured blog data from Tumblr. Specifically, if you want to search by tag (list_tagged_posts) or pull metadata for multiple accounts (get_blog_info, get_blog_avatar), this is the right tool.
Don't use it if: 1) You need to analyze comments (the API doesn't expose that); 2) Your goal is real-time interaction (it’s a data pull, not a chat bot); or 3) You are managing content on a platform other than Tumblr. In those cases, you'll need an integration for that specific service.
If you only want to check one blog and its latest posts, list_blog_posts is usually enough. If you need the absolute deepest dive into one post—say, analyzing every single piece of embedded data—then you gotta run get_post.
Common Questions About Tumblr MCP
How do I find all posts about 'tech' using the Tumblr MCP Server? +
You use list_tagged_posts. Just tell your agent to run that tool for the tag '#tech'. It will pull all available content matching that specific hashtag across the platform.
Can I check a blog's profile picture with get_blog_avatar? +
Yep. get_blog_avatar takes the blog name and returns the direct URL for their avatar. You don't have to navigate there just to grab the image link.
Which tool do I use if I only want to list posts from one specific blog? +
You need list_blog_posts. It requires you to name the blog and optionally filter by content type (like 'photo' or 'text') so you get exactly what you asked for.
Is there a tool to analyze engagement metrics for a post? +

Do I need to worry about rate limits when running list_tagged_posts? +
Yes, the server respects Tumblr’s API rate limitations. If you try searching for too many tags or run repeated searches quickly, your agent might hit a limit and pause execution.

Is it possible to retrieve the avatar URL of a blog via AI? +
Absolutely. Use the get_blog_avatar tool and provide the blog name. You can also specify an optional size to get the image URL that best fits your needs.
