Using Ghost mcp in Cursor

Today, while scrolling through X (formerly Twitter), I came across a post about MCP (Model Context Protocol). In the replies, someone casually mentioned GhostMCP, and I thought—wait, what’s that?

Curious, I did a quick Google search and found the GhostMCP GitHub repository. It turns out, GhostMCP acts as a secure bridge, allowing AI models to manage your Ghost blog’s content, users, members, tiers, offers, and newsletters via the Ghost Admin API.

Quick Install on Cursor

I tested it out quickly using Cursor (the AI-powered code editor), and it worked surprisingly well! However, I noticed the README in the GitHub repo doesn't provide local setup instructions specifically for Cursor users, so I thought I’d share the exact steps I followed to get it up and running.

Steps to Set Up GhostMCP Locally with Cursor

  1. First, clone or download the project from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/MFYDev/ghost-mcp.git
cd ghost-mcp
  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. In Cursor, open your MCP settings and modify the relevant section to point to the GhostMCP server script. Update the configuration like this:
"command": "node",
"args": [
  "path-to/ghost-mcp-main/build/server.js"
],

Make sure to replace path-to with the actual path to your local ghost-mcp directory.
