# Ghost Content API

<p>Read published post summaries and public tags using a Ghost Content API key and the exact HTTPS Content API URL. Fixed field selection excludes rich bodies, author payloads and code injection. Requires API v6.0 or newer. This is separate from Ghost Admin API and excludes drafts, members, publishing changes and managed OAuth.</p>

<h2>Connect and use</h2>

<p><a href="https://www.tooluse.net/tools/integrations/ghostcontent">Connect and use</a></p>
<p>Open the integration&#39;s connection form to check the available credential source. The source has not been resolved for this documentation export. The instructions below apply when using your own provider account.</p>
<h2>Get your provider credentials</h2>
<p>Follow these steps for Ghost Content API, then enter the issued values in the connection form below.</p>
<ol>
<li>Sign in to your Ghost Admin and open Settings &gt; Integrations. Create a Custom Integration, copy its Content API URL into Ghost Content API URL and its Content API key into Ghost Content API key in this connection form. Copy the full URL ending in /ghost/api/content/; the admin domain may differ from your publication domain. HTTPS custom admin domains and installations under a subdirectory are supported through the existing public-address transport checks. Do not use the Admin API key or strip its signing secret into this field: that is a separate integration. These reads require Ghost API v6.0 or newer. Save, allow the desired reads and call an example with your Tooluse.net API key. Only published post summaries and public tags are requested, with explicit pagination. No drafts, rich bodies, member data, publishing changes or managed OAuth. Regenerate the Content API key in Ghost Admin if needed and update the saved connection.</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="https://ghost.org/docs/content-api/">Official credential setup</a></p>
<h2>Where to enter credentials</h2>
<p>In the integration page, sign in, choose your workspace and open Connect. If a <strong>Credentials</strong> choice is shown, select <strong>Use my credentials</strong>. Fill the following connection fields and save. Provider credentials belong in this form, never in an MCP configuration or tool input.</p>

</div><p>Open API keys and create a Tooluse.net key for the enabled commands.</p>
<p>Set TOOLUSE_API_KEY in your client and use the shared MCP configuration.</p>
<p><a href="https://help.tooluse.net/clients">Configure Claude Code, Codex or Cursor once</a></p>

<h2>Permissions and results</h2>

<p>If you have more than one workspace, check the selected workspace in the connection or API-key dialog before saving. Roles, enabled commands, expiry and revocation use Tooluse.net&#39;s existing permissions. Disabling a connection or revoking a key immediately prevents new calls.</p>

<p>Send one Claude tool_use block per request. Keep the same Idempotency-Key when retrying the same request; use a new key for a new call. The response includes the shared Tooluse.net receipt and Claude tool_result. Check both HTTP status and the returned tool result before treating a call as successful.</p>

<p>Your connection&#39;s daily allowance and key permissions also apply. Adding a connection does not make a provider request.</p>

<p>Calls return the shared execution receipt and a Claude tool_result. Provider output varies by operation; consult the provider documentation for its response fields. Unconfirmed calls should be checked before retrying.</p>

<h2>Call from your client</h2>

<p>Use the shared MCP configuration. Refresh your client&#39;s tool list after saving the connection or changing key permissions, then call the returned tool name with the example input below.</p>

<p><a href="https://help.tooluse.net/clients">Configure Claude Code, Codex or Cursor once</a></p>

<h2>Discover your enabled tools</h2>

<p>List permitted tools in Claude format. Read every page using page and size (maximum 100) until all results have been received. Use the returned name, not a catalog capability identifier, in the tool_use block.</p>

<pre><code class="language-bash">curl 'https://api.tooluse.net/v1/tools' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOOLUSE_API_KEY"
</code></pre>

<p>Find this command in the tool list permitted by your key. Replace svc_FROM_YOUR_TOOL_LIST with its returned name. Use a new Idempotency-Key for each new call and retain it when retrying that same call.</p>

<h2>HTTP call</h2>

<pre><code class="language-bash">curl 'https://api.tooluse.net/v1/tool-calls' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOOLUSE_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Idempotency-Key: replace-with-a-new-call-id' \
  --data '{
  "type": "tool_use",
  "id": "toolu_example",
  "name": "svc_FROM_YOUR_TOOL_LIST",
  "input": {
    "query": {
      "page": 1,
      "limit": 10
    }
  }
}'
</code></pre>

<p>Send one Claude tool_use block per request. Keep the same Idempotency-Key when retrying the same request; use a new key for a new call. The response includes the shared Tooluse.net receipt and Claude tool_result. Check both HTTP status and the returned tool result before treating a call as successful.</p>

<h2>Test the connection</h2>

<p>Open the integration&#39;s commands below to inspect parameters and examples. Start with a read command for an account or resource you can access. Refresh your client&#39;s tool list, use the returned tool name, and check the execution result and usage. Provider charges and permissions still apply. Never test a write against production data without reviewing it.</p>
