Medium Ops
Operate your Medium publication from the IDE—read stats, draft posts, and propose replies with a 23-tool MCP plus CLI without Medium API keys.
Overview
medium-ops is a MCP server for the Grow phase that exposes 23 Medium publication tools and CLI commands using session cookies instead of new API keys.
What is this MCP server?
- 23-tool MCP server bundled with a Medium CLI (uvx medium-ops mcp serve)
- IDE-driven reply drafting; no new Medium API keys required for core flows
- Auth via MEDIUM_SID and MEDIUM_UID cookies plus optional legacy MEDIUM_INTEGRATION_TOKEN
- Stdio PyPI package (registry version 0.1.2) for local MCP serve
- 23 MCP tools documented in registry description
- Package: PyPI medium-ops, stdio transport, version 0.1.2
- Optional MEDIUM_INTEGRATION_TOKEN for legacy api.medium.com/v1
What problem does it solve?
Writers waste context switching between Medium’s web UI and their IDE when they want AI help replying, checking stats, or drafting without a supported public API.
Who is it for?
Solo creators who publish on Medium and want Cursor or Claude Code to draft engagement and ops tasks with cookie-based auth.
Skip if: Teams that forbid cookie-based automation, need official Medium partner APIs only, or do not use Medium as a channel.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent calls local stdio MCP tools to read and act on your Medium account while you approve drafts like propose_reply workflows.
- Local stdio MCP server with 23 Medium tools available to your agent
- CLI + agent workflows for drafting and publication operations you approve
