What you can do with Medium

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Post, 2 operations

  • POSTcreate_post

    Creates and publishes a new post on Medium.

  • POSTcreate_publication_post

    Creates a post under a specific Medium publication.

Contributor, 1 operation

  • GETget_publication_contributors

    Retrieves all contributors of a publication.

Image, 1 operation

  • POSTupload_image

    Uploads an image to Medium for use in posts.

Publication, 1 operation

  • GETget_user_publications

    Retrieves publications where the user is a contributor.

User, 1 operation

  • GETget_current_user

    Retrieves details of the currently authenticated user.

Use Medium from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Medium in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Medium operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)
[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"
Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect Medium

  1. Create your workspace

    Sign up free. Nothing to install.

  2. Connect Medium once

    Add your Medium connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.

  3. Describe the job in chat

    The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
