How to manage Medium publication contributors with your AI

Connect your AI to Medium to pull data about your publications and the people writing for them. Once connected, you can audit access without digging through settings menus.

Short answer

How can I see who has contributor access to my Medium publications?

Your AI pulls your publication list and the specific contributor list for each one. You'll get a clear view of who is authorized to post. Here is how the process works.

What you get

Clearer oversight

The AI handles the data retrieval so you can focus on managing your roster.

AUDIT

Access oversight

The AI identifies every person currently listed as a contributor. You can quickly spot anyone who shouldn't have access anymore.

LISTS

Publication inventory

Your AI gathers a full list of every publication you manage. This makes it easy to switch between different publication contexts.

REPORTS

Contributor summaries

Get a clean breakdown of your writing team. You can ask for specific names or a total count of active contributors.

HUMAN

Manual updates

The AI only reads data. You still need to go to Medium's settings to add or remove people from your publication.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI moves through your Medium account to find exactly who is authorized to write for you.

  1. Find your publications

    The AI starts by identifying all the Medium publications associated with your account.

    list_my_publications

  2. Identify contributors

    Once a publication is selected, the AI pulls the list of people with contributor permissions.

    list_contributors

  3. Filter and sort

    You can ask the AI to find specific people or group contributors by their name.

    list_contributors

  4. Verify access

    The AI compares your current list against your expectations to highlight any discrepancies.

    No. This MCP is designed for reading and auditing data, not for modifying your publication settings or deleting content.

    The AI sees the most current data available at the moment you ask the question.
