Content pipeline MCP server — from topic research to published article in one workflow.

ContentForge is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI agents and LLM clients with tools for the full content creation pipeline: topic research → image sourcing → SEO metadata → affiliate link enrichment → CMS publishing.

Available Tools

Tool	Description
`list_sites`	List all available sites and their categories from the CMS
`source_images`	Search for stock images on Pexels (URLs, alt text, photographer credit)
`seo_metadata`	Generate SEO metadata: slug, meta description, schema.org markup, internal link suggestions
`enrich_links`	Scan article content for Amazon product URLs and add affiliate tags
`publish_article`	Publish a complete article to the CMS (with auto-categorization and tag support)
`get_existing_articles`	Retrieve existing articles from a site (for internal linking and dedup)

Quick Start

Option 1: Stdio Mode (local, via npx)

npx @gentry-ai-bot/contentforge --stdio

Option 2: Hosted Mode (SSE, remote)

Connect to the hosted instance:

SSE endpoint: https://bubbly-optimism-production.up.railway.app/sse
Messages endpoint: https://bubbly-optimism-production.up.railway.app/messages
Health check: https://bubbly-optimism-production.up.railway.app/health

Requires an API key via the x-api-key header.
