Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Hashnode MCP Server?
Connect your Hashnode account to any AI agent to streamline your technical writing and blogging workflow. This MCP server allows you to interact with the Hashnode GraphQL API through natural language.
What you can do
- User Profiles — Retrieve detailed information about any Hashnode user by their handle using
get_user. - Publication Management — List all posts from a specific publication using its domain or hostname with
get_publication_posts. - Content Retrieval — Fetch full post content and metadata using slugs and hostnames via
get_post. - Publishing — Create and publish new blog posts with Markdown support and custom tags using
create_postdirectly from your conversation. - Editing — Update existing posts, titles, and content with
update_postwithout leaving your AI interface.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Hashnode Personal Access Token
- Start managing your technical blog from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Technical Writers — Draft and publish articles directly from your AI-assisted writing environment.
- Developers — Share knowledge and updates on your Hashnode blog without switching contexts.
- Content Managers — Monitor publication feeds and update existing posts efficiently.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Hashnode into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Hashnode and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 5 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can I fetch profile details for any Hashnode user?
Yes! Use the get_user tool with the specific username handle. The agent will return their profile information, bio, and social links.
Does the publishing tool support Markdown formatting?
Absolutely. Both create_post and update_post accept contentMarkdown, allowing you to publish rich technical content with code blocks, headers, and links.
How do I list posts from a specific blog domain?
Use the get_publication_posts tool and provide the host domain (e.g., 'engineering.hashnode.dev' or your custom domain). It will return a list of recent posts from that publication.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
