What is the Medium Alternative MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire writing ecosystem on Medium, the platform for world-class stories and ideas. By connecting Medium to your agent, you transform publishing into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list your publications, audit contributor lists, and create new posts without you ever touching a dashboard. Whether you are a solo blogger or managing a high-traffic publication, your agent acts as a real-time editorial assistant, ensuring your content is always correctly formatted and distributed.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Medium Integration Token?
Log in to Medium on the web, go to Settings > Security and apps > Integration tokens, and generate a new token. Copy and paste it into the field below.
Can the agent publish a story as a draft?
Yes. When using the create_post tool, you can specify draft in the publishStatus parameter. Your agent will confirm that the story is saved as a draft for your review.
Is it possible to publish to a publication I contribute to?
Yes. First, list your publications using list_publications, then use the create_publication_post tool with the target Publication ID to submit your story.
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.
