Writing a Blog Post

1. Start a conversation with Claude and mention you want to use the blog MCP:

"Hey, I'd like to write a blog post about [your topic]"

2. Claude will help you create the post using these commands:

# Create a new draft
mcp_create_ghost_post(
    title="Your Amazing Title",
    html_content="<p>Your content with HTML formatting</p>",
    status="draft"
)

# Add images
mcp_add_image_to_post(
    post_id="your_post_id",
    image_url="https://your-image-url.com/image.jpg"
)

# Edit the post
mcp_edit_ghost_post(
    post_id="your_post_id",
    title="Updated Title",
    html_content="<p>Updated content</p>"
)

# When ready to publish
mcp_edit_ghost_post(
    post_id="your_post_id",
    status="published"
)

Creating and Adding Videos

1. Generate a video:

# Generate the video
mcp_generate_video(
    script="Your video script here"
)
# Response will include a video_id

# Download the generated video
mcp_download_video(
    video_id="your_video_id"
)

# Upload to Ghost and add to post
mcp_upload_video_to_ghost(
    video_id="your_video_id"
)

# Add to your blog post
mcp_edit_ghost_post(
    post_id="your_post_id",
    video_id="your_video_id",
    video_position="top"  # or "bottom"
)

Example conversation flow:
