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 connection provides 12 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Managing technical content means constantly switching tools.

Right now, if you draft an article in your IDE, publish it to Dev.to, and then need to check what posts the organization published last month, you open three different tabs: your editor, the CMS dashboard, and a spreadsheet for tracking names. You copy usernames into one place, hit 'Filter' on another, and paste content somewhere else.

With this MCP, that manual process vanishes. Your agent handles it all in one chat window. Need to check organizational posts? Ask the agent to `list_org_articles`. It gives you the data directly, letting you keep your focus where it belongs: writing.

Update an existing article with pinpoint accuracy.

If a client points out a mistake or you realize you missed a crucial section, the manual process is getting back into the CMS editor, locating the post by its path, and then carefully re-pasting all the new markdown content. It’s slow, error-prone, and interrupts flow.

Now, just give your agent the article's ID and the corrected content. The `update_article` tool replaces the old text with the new version in a single command. That’s it.

What your AI can actually do with this

This MCP lets you handle all of your technical writing and community interactions through natural conversation. You don't have to switch tabs or copy a URL into a separate CMS dashboard just to check an article status. Your agent can list published work, search for specific posts by tags, or even update existing content drafts using full markdown support—all within your chat environment.

This kind of direct access saves time and keeps your focus where it belongs: writing code. It's one thing to write a great tutorial; it’s another thing entirely to distribute it correctly. By connecting this MCP via Vinkius, you give your agent the necessary tools to manage article drafts, inspect user profiles, and check organization membership right alongside your coding workflow.

Questions you might have

How do I use the list_my_articles tool? +

The list_my_articles tool shows you every article associated with your account, whether they're drafts or published. This is useful for seeing what content you own but haven't finalized yet.

Can I find an article using only its name? +

No, the system requires more specific identifiers. You must use either get_article_by_id (the unique ID number) or get_article_by_path (the username and clean slug).

What if I want to take down an article quickly? +

Use the unpublish_article tool. It instantly removes the article from public view, which is necessary for moderation or temporary takedowns.

Does get_user need a username or just an ID? +

The get_user tool accepts either a user's unique ID number or their handle (username). You only need to provide one of those two pieces of information.

If I try to use the `update_article` tool, what level of permissions do I need? +

You must have write access assigned to your API key. The system checks for publishing rights before running the update. If you only have read permission, the call will fail with an authorization error.

How does using `list_org_articles` differ from checking my own posts with `list_my_articles`? +

When you use list_my_articles, you only see content published by your specific user account. However, list_org_articles pulls all published content associated with the organization's profile, giving you a broader view of group contributions.

What information do I need to provide when calling `create_article`? +

You must supply at least a title and the main article body. The content needs to be in standard markdown format for proper rendering on Dev.to or Forem.

What happens if I use `list_articles` and there are thousands of results? +

The tool handles large datasets through pagination. You'll need to specify the starting point and limit for your query, rather than asking for everything at once.

Can I publish a new post directly from the chat? +

Yes! Use the create_article tool by providing a title and the markdown content. You can also set the published status to true or false for drafts.

How do I see my own drafts and published posts? +

You can use the list_my_articles tool. It allows you to filter by type, such as 'all', 'published', or 'unpublished' (drafts).

Can I look up another user's profile information? +

Yes, use the get_user tool with either their unique User ID or their username to retrieve their public profile details.
