What is the Ghost MCP Server?
Connect your Ghost publication to any AI agent to automate your content management workflows through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Ghost is a powerful headless Node.js CMS tailored for modern publishing. This MCP server enables you to retrieve published posts, manage taxonomy tags, and fetch site configurations directly through natural conversation using the Ghost Content API.
Key Features
- Content Discovery — List all published blog posts and static pages, retrieving detailed HTML content and metadata.
- Taxonomy Oversight — Retrieve and list all categorization tags to understand your content architecture.
- Author Management — Fetch profile details for active writers and contributors across the publication.
- Site Configuration — Access global settings, routing rules, and title schemas programmatically.
- Subscription Insights — Retrieve active membership tiers to understand paywall rules and pricing layers.
- Real-time Synchronization — Keep your headless CMS content accessible to your AI assistant without leaving your primary workspace.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Content API Key for Ghost?
Log in to your Ghost Admin dashboard, navigate to Settings > Integrations, and add a Custom Integration. You will find the Content API Key there.
Can I publish new posts using this integration?
No, this integration uses the Content API which is read-only. It is designed to safely retrieve and query your published content.
What is the Base URL format?
Your Base URL is the root domain where your Ghost site is hosted, for example: 'https://demo.ghost.io'. Do not include '/ghost/api/'.
How do I fetch related tags and authors for a post?
Use the 'include' parameter in the 'get_post_by_slug' tool and pass the string 'tags,authors'.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
