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
    v
Pipepost 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.

API Key Setup

| Platform | Where to get your key | |----------|----------------------| | Dev.to | dev.to/settings/extensions | | Ghost | Ghost Admin > Settings > Integrations > Custom | | Hashnode | hashnode.com/settings/developer | | WordPress | Users > Application Passwords | | Medium | medium.com/me/settings/security | | Substack | DevTools → Application → Cookies → substack.com → copy connect.sid.
