Overview
Ghost is a focused publishing and newsletter platform — the closest thing to a modern replacement for a WordPress blog plus an email tool, without the plugin sprawl. For agentic work the Admin API is the piece that matters: an agent can create and publish posts and fire webhooks that trigger downstream repurposing. Watch the tier, because this is where the plan maths bites — the Admin API and webhooks require the Publisher plan, not the cheaper Starter tier, so the price of an agent that can publish for you is meaningfully higher than Ghost's headline entry price. There is no official MCP server; the credible ones are community-built.
