Overview
Ghost is a focused publishing and newsletter platform, the closest thing to a WordPress blog plus an email tool without the plugin sprawl. For agentic work the Admin API is what matters: an agent can create and publish posts and fire webhooks that kick off repurposing downstream. There's no official MCP server, so the credible ones are community-built.
Key Features
- ✓Admin API for programmatic publishing (Publisher tier and up)
- ✓Webhooks to trigger downstream automation on publish
- ✓Content API for reading posts on every plan
- ✓Built-in newsletters and paid memberships
- ✓MIT licensed and fully free to self-host
