Publish blog posts from ChatGPT

What ChatGPT can do with LotsBlog

ChatGPT writes; LotsBlog stores, hosts and publishes. Once connected, ChatGPT can:

• Create, edit and list articles, and save them as drafts with a private preview link.
• Upload cover and inline images, and add topics.
• Publish, schedule or unpublish posts. Scheduled posts go live on the next 15-minute check after their time.
• Read your private blog guide (audience, voice, facts, rules) so every session follows it.
• Connect a custom domain or example.com/blog, and check its status.
• Read blog and article analytics, and run the optional AEO article check.

The LotsBlog dashboard does the whole job too: write and edit posts, schedule, manage images, appearance, team and domains. Your agent for speed, the dashboard for control.

You need

• ChatGPT on the web, on a plan that supports custom MCP servers (developer mode). OpenAI offers full MCP, read and write, on Business, Enterprise and Edu; other plans may be limited to read-only tools, and saving or publishing posts needs write tools.
• On Business, only admins and owners can turn on developer mode. Workspace admins can also add LotsBlog for the workspace under Workspace settings > Apps > Create.
• A LotsBlog account. You can create one during sign-in.

Connect ChatGPT to LotsBlog

1. 1

   Turn on developer mode

   In ChatGPT, open Settings > Security and login and turn on developer mode. On Business, Enterprise or Edu, it is under Settings > Apps > Advanced settings; on Business, only admins and owners can turn it on.

2. 2

   Add LotsBlog as a custom MCP server

   Go to Plugins, select +, then Add custom MCP server. Name it LotsBlog, enter the server URL below, choose OAuth, confirm the warning, then Create.

   https://api.lots.blog/mcp
3. 3

   Install it and sign in

   Install LotsBlog and sign in with your Lots account when ChatGPT asks. New users can create an account in this step.

4. 4

   Use it in a chat

   In a new chat, select LotsBlog from + > More and ask for your blogs.

   List my LotsBlog blogs and their latest posts

What to ask next

• “Turn these notes into a draft article for my blog, add a cover image and send me the preview link”
• “Schedule the draft for Tuesday at 9am London time”
• “Which of last month's posts had the most views?”

If something goes wrong

I can't find Add custom MCP server

Turn on developer mode first: Settings > Security and login, or Settings > Apps > Advanced settings on Business, Enterprise or Edu. On Business, only admins and owners can turn it on. A workspace admin can also add LotsBlog under Workspace settings > Apps > Create.

ChatGPT answers without using LotsBlog

In a new chat, select LotsBlog from + > More, confirm it is connected and finish any sign-in prompt. If ChatGPT can read your blogs but cannot save or publish, your plan may be limited to read-only tools; publishing needs write tools.

New LotsBlog tools don't show up

Open LotsBlog under Plugins and refresh it, then start a new chat.
