What is Arcs Mcp?

Arcs Mcp is a multi-platform publishing tool that supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) services, allowing users to publish articles to multiple platforms using natural language commands. It integrates with MCP-compatible AI clients (Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, Cherry Studio, etc.) and automates the publishing process across platforms like CSDN, Juejin, Blog Park, WeChat Official Account, Zhihu, and Halo.

How to use Arcs Mcp?

Install uv (a modern Python package installer), clone the repository, copy the .env.example file to .env (optionally configure platform API keys), then run uv run --directory your/path/to/Arcs-MCP server.py. Configure your MCP client (e.g., Cherry Studio) to use a streamable HTTP endpoint at http://127.0.0.1:8001/submit/mcp (or via JSON configuration). After setup, use natural language commands in the AI client to publish articles, e.g., "Publish this article to CSDN."

FAQ from Arcs Mcp

What are the prerequisites for using Arcs Mcp?

You need an MCP-compatible AI client (e.g., Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, Cherry Studio) and the uv Python package installer. Cherry Studio can install uv automatically; otherwise install it manually via the provided curl or powershell commands.

How do I configure the MCP client?

In your MCP client (e.g., Cherry Studio), add a server using the "streamableHttp" type with URL http://127.0.0.1:8001/submit/mcp. Alternatively, import the JSON configuration: {"mcpServers":{"SubmitArticleServer":{"type":"streamableHttp","url":"http://localhost:8001/submit/mcp"}}}.

What publishing platforms are supported?

The tool currently supports CSDN, Juejin, Blog Park, WeChat Official Account, Zhihu, and Halo self-hosted sites. It uses either API calls or browser automation depending on the platform, and can be extended to others.

How do I publish an article using a file path?

Use a command like "Publish the article at /your/path/to/file.md to CSDN." The tool will upload the file content and publish it. File-based publishing is recommended over text content to save tokens and time.

Where does my data live? Is any external service required?

The tool runs locally on your machine. Platform credentials and API keys can be configured in the .env file. The MCP client communicates with the local server via HTTP. No external cloud service is required beyond the publishing platforms themselves.
