Ghost + Contentful MCP
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants search across multiple CMS platforms — Ghost and Contentful — from a single interface.
What it does
This server exposes five search tools over the MCP stdio transport:
| Tool | Source | Searches across | |---|---|---| | search_blog_posts | Ghost | Post title, excerpt, and body | | search_blog_pages | Ghost | Page title and body | | search_learn_pages | Contentful | Learn page title, meta fields, and rich-text body | | search_case_studies | Contentful | Company name, overview, quote, use case, impact, and body | | search_events | Contentful | Internal event pages and event cards (title, description, agenda) |
Each tool accepts a query string and returns matching results with contextual snippets highlighting where the match was found.
