MCP Blog Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides blog management tools through a simple API interface. This server allows AI assistants to interact with a blog system to retrieve, search, and create blog posts.

🚀 Features

• Get Blogs: Retrieve all available blog posts
• Search Blogs: Search for blogs by name/query
• Create Blog: Add new blog posts to the system
• MCP Integration: Fully compatible with MCP-compatible AI assistants

🛠️ Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• uv package manager (recommended) or pip

📦 Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <your-repo-url>
   cd mcp-by-gokogua

1. Create a virtual environment:

   python3.11 -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

1. Install dependencies:

   uv add "mcp[cli]" httpx

🔧 Configuration
