Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant draft, SEO-check, and publish articles to multiple blogging and social platforms, then track their performance.

What you can do
Pipepost is a local MCP server that turns an assistant into a content publishing pipeline. It scores content for SEO, generates meta tags and JSON-LD, audits markdown and links, and saves drafts locally. It publishes or cross-publishes to Dev.to, Ghost, Hashnode, WordPress, Medium, and Substack with automatic canonical URL wiring, posts to Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, and X, generates social and repurposed posts, fetches cover images from Unsplash, submits URLs to IndexNow, and reports views, reactions, and comments across configured platforms.
When to use it
Useful for writers, developer advocates, and marketers who publish the same article to several CMS platforms and social networks and want the assistant to handle formatting, SEO, canonical URLs, and promotion. Less useful if you publish to a single platform or do not want to store platform API credentials locally.
Requirements
Runs as a local stdio process via the npm package pipepost-mcp (Node.js/npx). Platform API keys or tokens are entered through the setup tool and stored in a local config file; Substack uses a connect.sid cookie value plus the publication URL, LinkedIn uses OAuth scopes, and X uses OAuth 1.0a. Network access is needed for publishing, analytics, image search, and IndexNow. Some tools consume paid credits.
Before you install
The server stores platform API keys and tokens, including a Substack connect.sid cookie, in a local config file, so anyone with access to that machine can read them. Publishing, cross-publishing, social posting, and replying write to live public accounts, and deleting a draft is destructive. Some tools cost credits from a paid plan, and content is sent to third-party platform APIs when you publish or fetch analytics.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Pipepost in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Privacy & Security

[!NOTE] Pipepost runs as a local stdio process. Your API keys are stored in ~/.pipepost/config.json and never leave your machine. No cloud server, no telemetry, no data collection.

Architecture

Claude Code    |    | stdio    vPipepost MCP Server    |    |--- SEO Engine (local scoring, meta generation, JSON-LD)    |--- IndexNow API (Bing, Yandex, search engines)    |--- Unsplash API (cover images)    |--- Dev.to / Ghost / Hashnode / WordPress / Medium / Substack APIs    |--- Bluesky AT Protocol (post, search, reply)    |--- Mastodon API (any instance)    |--- LinkedIn /v2/ugcPosts    |--- X v2 /tweets (OAuth 1.0a)

All processing happens locally. Platform APIs are only called when you explicitly publish, fetch analytics, or search for images.
