Pipepost is a MCP server that publishes from Claude Code to Substack, Ghost, Dev.to, WordPress, LinkedIn, and additional channels.
About
Pipepost MCP is a stdio server that lets developers publish articles and updates from Claude Code to many content platforms at once. If you ship weekly but dread copying markdown into Substack, Ghost, Dev.to, WordPress, LinkedIn, and other destinations, Pipepost centralizes that handoff behind MCP tools so your agent can draft and post in one flow. It targets the launch and grow stretch of the journey when distribution consistency matters more than writing another feature. Version 0.9.0 ships as the npm package pipepost-mcp without mandatory env vars in the published server.json snippet, though each platform still needs its own auth or keys in practice. Pair it with a solid ship checklist so what you publish matches what you deployed. It is a publishing integration MCP, not a CMS replacement or SEO research suite.
- npm pipepost-mcp server v0.9.0 (stdio)
- Publish from Claude Code to Substack, Ghost, Dev.to, WordPress, LinkedIn plus five more platforms
- Single MCP surface for cross-posting instead of per-platform manual paste
- Documented at pipepost.dev with GitHub repo MendleM/Pipepost
