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

create_postCreate postPOSTCreates and publishes a new post on Medium.
create_publication_postCreate publication postPOSTCreates a post under a specific Medium publication.

Contributor, 1 operation

get_publication_contributorsGet publication contributorsGETRetrieves all contributors of a publication.

Image, 1 operation

upload_imageUpload imagePOSTUploads an image to Medium for use in posts.

Publication, 1 operation

get_user_publicationsGet user publicationsGETRetrieves publications where the user is a contributor.

User, 1 operation

get_current_userGet current userGETRetrieves 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"
      }
    }
  }
}
