# Hashnode MCP server: manage your blog from Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor

Connect once with your Hashnode login. Publish, draft, edit, search, and upload images without leaving your chat.

## What is the Hashnode MCP server?

The Hashnode MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI clients publish, draft, edit, search, and delete posts on your Hashnode blog. Add one URL, log in with your Hashnode account, and you're connected. No API token, nothing to install.

```plaintext
https://mcp.hashnode.com/mcp
```

## How to connect

In Claude Code, run one command:

```plaintext
claude mcp add --transport http hashnode-mcp https://mcp.hashnode.com/mcp
```

Your browser opens Hashnode. Log in and approve access. That's it.

In Cursor, add the URL to your `mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hashnode": {
      "url": "https://mcp.hashnode.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

In ChatGPT and other clients, paste the same URL wherever the client asks for a remote MCP server.

## What your agent can do

Ask in plain language. "Publish `notes.md` to my blog." "Save `notes.md` as a draft." "Submit it for review." "Find my posts about Postgres and fix the tags." "Use `cover.png` as the cover image." "Credit Priya as the author." Your agent picks the right tool.

There are 32:

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `create_post` | Publish a new post |
| `update_post` | Edit an existing post |
| `delete_post` | Delete a post |

## You stay in control

You never handle a token. Every client you connect shows up in Developer Settings, and you can disconnect any of them at any time. Access stops immediately.

## MCP server or agent skill?

If you work in a coding agent and want the whole GraphQL API, use the [GraphQL skill](https://hashnode.com/blog/hashnode-gql-agent-skill). If you work in a chat client, or you'd rather not manage a token, use the MCP server. Both follow the same **Pro** rules, and you can use both.

## Before you publish

*   Posts go live immediately. To look first, ask your agent to save a draft, then publish it when you're ready.
    
*   Contributors can't publish directly. Ask your agent to submit your draft for review, and an owner or admin publishes it.
    
*   Deleting a post removes it from your blog, and the API can't bring it back. Only the author or a publication admin can delete.

## What you need

*   A Hashnode account
    
*   A publication on [Hashnode Pro](https://hashnode.com/pro)
    
*   An MCP client that supports remote servers
