You need a medium-ops key (create it on the maker’s site) · 2 setting(s) to fill in (MEDIUM_UID, MEDIUM_USERNAME) · Install Python (uv) on your computer first (one time) · Only the Claude desktop app (Windows or Mac), not the web or phone

Let AI install it

Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server medium-ops for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check uv with uv --version. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "medium-ops": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "medium-ops", "mcp", "serve" ], "env": { "MEDIUM_SID": "your-value", "MEDIUM_UID": "your-value", "MEDIUM_XSRF": "your-value", "MEDIUM_CF_CLEARANCE": "your-value", "MEDIUM_USERNAME": "your-value" } } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) For MEDIUM_SID, MEDIUM_XSRF, MEDIUM_CF_CLEARANCE, MEDIUM_UID, MEDIUM_USERNAME, leave "your-value" in place and tell me to paste the real value myself into the file or the app’s field. Never ask me to type a key in chat. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the medium-ops tools really show up.

Common questions

Is medium-ops safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: MEDIUM_SID, MEDIUM_XSRF, MEDIUM_CF_CLEARANCE

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 6 months ago, and the latest version (0.1.2) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

medium-ops

Standalone Medium CLI + 22-tool MCP server for Cursor MCP, Claude MCP, OpenCode MCP, and any stdio MCP host. Your IDE drafts the replies. Zero AI API keys.

Stories, responses, claps, feed, profiles, stats, reply engine, MCP server. One Python install, one binary, MIT licensed. Sibling of substack-ops.

TL;DR — MCP-native (no API key, one command)

uvx medium-ops mcp install cursor          # or claude-desktop, claude-code, opencode, print

Restart your host. Then in chat:

"list unanswered responses on post abc123def456"

"draft a warm reply to response r1"

"post that draft"

Your host's LLM (Cursor's, Claude's) does the drafting via the propose_reply / confirm_reply tools. No ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY needed.

Wrong install?

This project is `medium-ops` on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/medium-ops/) — install with `uv` / `uvx`, not unrelated `npx` packages from “Medium MCP” searches. Canonical listing: [Glama — 06ketan/medium-ops](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/06ketan/medium-ops).

Works with (MCP)

These rows help discovery (search keywords); confirm each host’s current MCP docs before upgrading.

Manual (~/.config/opencode/opencode.json):

"mcp": { "medium-ops": { "type": "local", "command": ["uvx", "medium-ops", "mcp", "serve"], "enabled": true } } }

Optional version pin: ["uvx", "medium-ops==0.1.2", "mcp", "serve"] (replace with current PyPI release).

Why a hybrid

Medium exposes three usable surfaces and we use all of them:

Public RSS (reads, no auth). medium.com/feed/@{user} returns the author's ~10 most recent stories with body_html, pubDate, tags, hero image, and dc:creator. Zero credentials, faster than GraphQL, stable. Used by default for list_posts / get_post / get_post_content. Inspired by Portfolio_V2's blog page.
Dashboard GraphQL (authenticated reads). medium.com/_/graphql + medium.com/_/api/* with the sid cookie. Used as a fallback when you ask for more than ~10 posts, when the post isn't in the RSS window, or for things RSS can't give you (responses, claps, feed, stats, search).
Official REST (writes). api.medium.com/v1/* with an Integration Token. Supports createPost, createPostInPublication, getUser, getPublications. That's it.

Force a specific transport with --source rss|graphql|auto on posts list, posts show, and posts content. The dashboard + GraphQL endpoints are undocumented and Medium can change them at any time. See Known gaps.

Setup (dev / from source)

git clone https://github.com/06ketan/medium-ops && cd medium-ops

uv sync uv sync --extra mcp # mcp SDK for the MCP server (recommended) uv sync --extra tui # textual for the TUI

Auth is read from ~/.cursor/mcp.json's mcpServers.medium-ops.env (or medium-api / medium). Override with env or .env.

uv run medium-ops auth verify

uv run medium-ops quickstart

Command surface

Every write defaults to --dry-run. Flip with --no-dry-run. All writes land in .cache/audit.jsonl and are dedup-checked against .cache/actions.db.

Auth (3)

Command	What it does
`auth verify`	Probe both integration token (/me) and sid cookie (GraphQL Viewer).
`auth test`	Same but exits non-zero on failure (CI-friendly).
`auth setup`	Interactive: paste token / sid / uid / username to `.env`.

Read — Stories (5)

Command	What it does
`posts list [--user] [--limit]`	Latest stories by a user (default: self).
`posts show`	Story metadata (title, clap count, response count).
`posts content [--md]`	Body HTML (or Markdown with `--md`).
`posts search [--limit]`	Medium-side full-text search.
`posts publish -t "..." -f body.md [--pub] [--status draft	public	unlisted]`	Publish via integration token.

Read + Write — Responses (3)

Command	What it does
`responses list [--limit]`	Top-level responses table.
`responses tree [--out file.json]`	Full response + reply tree JSON.
`responses add "body" [--parent ] [--no-dry-run]`	Post a response or reply.

Read + Write — Claps (2)

Command	What it does
`claps count`	Total claps.
`claps give [--claps N] [--no-dry-run]`	Clap 1-50 times. Dedup-protected.

Read — Discovery + Profile (5)

Command	What it does
`feed list [--tab home\	following\	tag-{slug}] [--limit]`	Reader feed.
`profile me`	Your full profile (GraphQL).
`profile get`	Any user's public profile.
`profile stats [--days N]`	Per-post views / reads / fans (dashboard scrape).
`profile publications`	Publications you can publish to (integration token).

Reply engine (3)

Command	What it does
`reply template --template thanks`	Rule-based replies (no LLM).
`reply bulk --out drafts.json`	Draft every response to a file.
`reply bulk-send drafts.json [--no-dry-run]`	Post only `action=approved` rows. Dedup-checked.

Operations + safety (2)

Command	What it does
`audit search [--kind] [--target] [--status] [--since 7d]`	Query the JSONL audit log.
`audit dedup-status`	Counts in the dedup SQLite DB.

MCP server (3)

Command	What it does
`mcp install [--dry-run]`	Auto-merge config into your host.
`mcp serve`	stdio MCP server (22 tools).
`mcp list-tools`	Print the tool registry.

Other (1)

Command	What it does
`quickstart`	Print a quickstart checklist.

Reply modes

Mode	What it does	Safety
`template`	YAML keyword rules under `src/medium_ops/templates/*.yaml`	dry-run default
`bulk`	LLM drafts every response to `drafts.json`. Edit, set `action: "approved"`	offline review, dedup-checked on send
`bulk-send`	Posts only items with `action: "approved"`	dry-run default; dedup DB prevents dup replies
MCP `propose_reply` → `confirm_reply`	Host LLM drafts, you approve per-item, token-gated	5-min token TTL, idempotent, no API key

MCP server

medium-ops mcp install opencode          # ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json

medium-ops mcp install cursor # auto-add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json medium-ops mcp install claude-desktop # auto-add to claude_desktop_config.json medium-ops mcp install claude-code # uses claude mcp add medium-ops mcp install print # print the snippet only medium-ops mcp serve # stdio server medium-ops mcp list-tools # 22 tools

Manual config snippet:

"mcpServers": { "medium-ops": { "command": "medium-ops", "args": ["mcp", "serve"] } } }

If the mcp SDK is not installed, the server falls back to a minimal stdin/stdout JSON-line dispatcher:

echo '{"tool":"list_posts","args":{"limit":3}}' | medium-ops mcp serve

MCP-native draft loop (no API key)

The safety + drafting stack that makes the unattended mode safe:

Tool	What it does
`get_unanswered_responses`	Worklist — responses where you haven't replied.
`propose_reply`	Dry-run only. Returns a `token` + payload preview.
`confirm_reply`	Posts the staged reply by token. Idempotent via dedup DB. Token TTL 5 min.
`bulk_draft_replies` / `send_approved_drafts`	File-based offline review loop.
`audit_search` / `dedup_status`	Read the audit log + dedup counts.

LLM strategy

Two layers, both free:

MCP-native (default). Host LLM drafts via propose_reply / confirm_reply. No env vars, no API key. Use this for interactive replies.
Subprocess CLI (daemon path). For reply bulk when no human is in the loop. Auto-detects claude (Claude Code), cursor-agent, or codex on PATH. Override with MEDIUM_OPS_LLM_CMD.

There is no paid-API-key path.

Auth setup

Medium has two auth layers that map to different feature surfaces:

Integration Token — Authorization: Bearer . Used against api.medium.com/v1/*. Gets you: publish_post, list_own_publications. Token generation at https://medium.com/me/settings → "Integration tokens". Note: Medium stopped issuing new tokens in 2023. If you never generated one, the write path will 401 and you'll have to use the sid-cookie response path for any writes.
sid cookie — from medium.com (Application → Cookies → sid). Used against medium.com/_/graphql and medium.com/_/api/*. Gets you: all reads (stories, responses, claps, feed, stats, profile), plus clap_post and post_response (fragile — undocumented).
