Overview

What is Livejournal?

Livejournal is an MCP server that integrates with LiveJournal, enabling reading of journal entries, creating posts (with a default dry run), caching entries locally in SQLite, and generating authenticated sessions for LiveJournal web endpoints. It is intended for LiveJournal users who want programmatic access to their journals via an MCP‑compatible client.

How to use Livejournal?

You need Python 3.10+, a LiveJournal account, and an MCP‑compatible client. SQLite (built into Python) is used for local caching. The server exposes tools for reading, searching, creating, and caching entries. Invoke it as an MCP server; no explicit install or configuration steps are provided in the README beyond the requirements.

FAQ from Livejournal

What Python version is required?

Python 3.10 or later.

Do I need a LiveJournal account?

Yes, a LiveJournal account is required to use this server.

Where are cached entries stored?

Entries are cached locally in SQLite, which is built into Python – no separate SQLite installation is needed.

Are posts published immediately by default?

No, create_post works with dry_run: true by default, so posts are not sent to LiveJournal unless you explicitly set dry_run: false.

What transports or authentication are supported?

The server uses LiveJournal XMLRPC for reading and creating entries, and an ljsession can be generated for LiveJournal web endpoints. No other transports are mentioned.
