MCP Tools for Automated Blog Writing: Complete Setup Guide

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is revolutionizing how content creators work with AI. Instead of manually copying and pasting between tools, MCP allows your AI assistant to directly access specialized tools for keyword research, content generation, SEO optimization, and publishing—all within a single conversation.

This complete guide will show you how to set up MCP tools for automated blog writing with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or ChatGPT. Whether you’re a solo blogger or managing a content team, you’ll learn to configure professional-grade content automation in under 15 minutes.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard introduced by Anthropic in November 2024 to standardize how AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources. Think of it as a universal adapter that lets your AI assistant talk to databases, APIs, content management systems, and specialized tools—without custom integrations for each one. For a complete introduction to the protocol, see our guide on what is Model Context Protocol.

How MCP Works: The Technical Architecture

MCP uses a client-server architecture where:

1. MCP Client: Your AI assistant (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT)
2. MCP Server: The tool you’re connecting to (Suparank, Notion, GitHub, etc.)
3. Transport: How they communicate (stdio for local, SSE for remote)

┌─────────────────┐         ┌─────────────────┐         ┌─────────────────┐
│  Your AI Client │ ◄─────► │   MCP Server    │ ◄─────► │  External APIs  │
│ (Claude/Cursor) │  stdio  │  (Suparank)     │  HTTPS  │ (WordPress/etc) │
└─────────────────┘         └─────────────────┘         └─────────────────┘

When you ask your AI assistant to “research keywords about coffee brewing,” the AI:

1. Identifies it needs the keyword_research tool from your MCP server
2. Calls the tool through MCP protocol
3. The MCP server executes the tool (queries APIs, processes data)
4. Returns structured results back to the AI
5. AI presents results in conversational format

Prerequisites: What You Need Before Starting

Before setting up MCP tools, ensure you have:

1. Supported AI Client

You need one of these AI clients installed:

Download links:

• Claude Desktop
• Cursor
• ChatGPT Desktop

2. Node.js Runtime

MCP servers (especially npm-based ones like Suparank) require Node.js to run.

Check if Node.js is installed:

node --version
npm --version

If you see version numbers (e.g., v20.10.0), you’re good to go. If not, download Node.js (LTS version recommended).

3. Text Editor

You’ll need to edit JSON configuration files. Any text editor works:

• macOS: TextEdit, VS Code, Sublime Text
• Windows: Notepad++, VS Code, Notepad
• Linux: nano, vim, VS Code

4. Terminal/Command Line Access

Basic command line knowledge is helpful but not required. We’ll provide exact commands to copy and paste.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up MCP with Claude Desktop

Let’s start with the most popular setup: Claude Desktop with an MCP content writing tool.

Step 1: Install Claude Desktop

If you haven’t already:

1. Go to claude.ai/download
2. Download for your operating system
3. Install and sign in with your Anthropic account

Step 2: Locate Configuration File

Claude Desktop uses a JSON configuration file to register MCP servers. The file location depends on your operating system:

macOS:

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows:

%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Quick way to open it:

macOS:

open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows (PowerShell):

notepad $env:APPDATA\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

If the file doesn’t exist, create it with empty JSON: {}

Step 3: Add MCP Server Configuration

Now we’ll add an MCP server to the configuration. Let’s use three examples: a simple memory server, the filesystem server, and Suparank for full blog automation.

Example 1: Memory Server (Simple Test)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"]
    }
  }
}

This adds a simple key-value storage server to test MCP functionality.

Example 2: Filesystem Server (Local File Access)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "/Users/yourname/Documents/blog-content"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace /Users/yourname/Documents/blog-content with your actual content folder path.

Example 3: Suparank (Full Blog Automation)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "suparank": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["suparank", "your-project-slug", "your-api-key"]
    }
  }
}

Replace your-project-slug and your-api-key with your actual Suparank credentials (get them at app.suparank.io).

Multiple Servers (Recommended Setup):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "/Users/yourname/Documents/blog-content"
      ]
    },
    "suparank": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["suparank", "my-blog", "sk_live_abcd1234..."]
    },
    "github": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 4: Restart Claude Desktop

After saving the configuration file:

1. Completely quit Claude Desktop (don’t just close the window)
   • macOS: Cmd + Q
   • Windows: Right-click taskbar icon → Quit
2. Relaunch Claude Desktop

Step 5: Verify MCP Connection

Look for the MCP indicator in Claude Desktop:

1. Start a new conversation
2. Look at the bottom-right of the input box
3. You should see a small icon (looks like a puzzle piece or tool icon)
4. Click it to see available MCP tools

Test the connection:

Type in Claude:

What MCP tools do I have available?

Claude should list your configured servers and their tools.

Test a tool:

Use the memory server to save this: "My blog is about specialty coffee"

If you get a confirmation, MCP is working perfectly.

MCP vs Traditional Content Workflows

Let’s compare the old way of creating content vs the MCP-powered workflow:

Real-world example from a Suparank user:

“Before MCP, our team published 2-3 blog posts per week with 3 writers. After setting up Suparank MCP, we now publish 8-12 posts per week with the same team. The AI handles research and first drafts; our writers focus on brand voice and expertise. We cut production time by 70% while increasing output by 300%.” — Marketing Director, SaaS company

Best Practices for MCP Content Automation

1. Layer AI + Human Expertise

Don’t: Publish AI-generated content without review

Do: Use MCP to handle research and structure, then add:

• First-hand experience and examples
• Your unique perspective and insights
• Brand voice refinement
• Fact-checking and accuracy verification

2. Configure Project-Specific Settings

For Suparank, set up your project config in the dashboard:

• Brand Voice: Professional, conversational, technical, etc.
• Target Audience: Who you’re writing for
• Primary Keywords: Your core topics
• Style Guide: Specific terminology, formatting preferences

This ensures all MCP-generated content matches your brand.

3. Use Workflow Chaining

Combine multiple MCP tools in a single conversation:

1. Research keywords for "email marketing automation"
2. Create content brief for top keyword
3. Write full blog post following that brief
4. Generate hero image
5. Run quality check
6. Publish to WordPress as draft

The AI executes all steps sequentially, maintaining context throughout.

4. Version Control for Content

If using GitHub MCP alongside content tools:

1. Write blog post about [topic]
2. Save to filesystem in /blog-drafts
3. Commit to GitHub with message "Draft: [title]"
4. After I review, publish to WordPress

This creates an audit trail and enables team collaboration.

5. Batch Operations

Use MCP for batch content creation:

Create 5 blog post outlines about:
1. Coffee brewing methods
2. Best espresso machines
3. Coffee bean storage
4. Latte art tutorials
5. Coffee grinder buying guide

For each outline, generate:
- Keyword research
- Content brief
- Suggested internal links

Process multiple pieces simultaneously.

6. Quality Gates

Always run quality checks before publishing:

• Grammar and spelling
• Readability score (aim for grade 8-10)
• SEO requirements (meta description, alt text, etc.)
• Brand consistency
• Fact accuracy
