# Connect Claude Cowork to LotsBlog

Canonical page: https://lots.blog/agents/claude-cowork
Steps checked: 2026-10-01

Ask Claude Cowork to write, schedule and publish posts on your LotsBlog blog. Add LotsBlog to Claude Cowork as a remote MCP server and sign in once.

MCP server URL: https://api.lots.blog/mcp
REST API docs: https://api.lots.blog/docs
Setup instructions for your agent: https://lots.blog/skill.md

## What you can do once connected

- Write articles as Markdown drafts with a title, slug, description, topics and cover or inline images, and edit them later.
- Schedule or publish a post when you say so. Saving a draft never publishes it.
- Put your blog on a custom domain such as blog.example.com, or at yoursite.com/blog with one rewrite on your own site, and check the setup status.
- Read your blog and post analytics, and invite team members with roles.
- Read and update the private blog guide that holds your audience, voice, facts and writing rules.

The LotsBlog dashboard does the whole job too: posts, topics, images, domains, analytics, appearance and team. Your agent for speed, the dashboard for control.

## You need

- Claude Desktop with Cowork available
- Permission to add a custom remote connector
- A LotsBlog account. You can create one during sign-in.

## Connect Claude Cowork to LotsBlog

1. **Add a custom connector.** In Claude, open Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector. Name it LotsBlog and use this URL.

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

2. **Sign in.** Complete the LotsBlog sign-in and enable the connector in your Cowork task.

3. **Check the tools.** Ask your agent “List my LotsBlog blogs and their latest posts” before asking it to change anything.

## 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?”
- “Connect blog.example.com to my blog and tell me which DNS record to add”

## Questions and troubleshooting

### How do I connect Claude Cowork to LotsBlog?

Follow the Claude Cowork setup above to add https://api.lots.blog/mcp. Complete sign-in using the authentication method shown. Then ask “List my LotsBlog blogs and their latest posts”.

### Does Cowork keep LotsBlog connected between tasks?

Once LotsBlog is added as a custom connector and signed in, enable it for each Cowork task that needs it. Start a new session if its tools do not appear.

### Do I need an API key to use LotsBlog with Claude Cowork?

No. Claude Cowork signs in to LotsBlog in your browser. API keys are for the REST API, for scripts and your own apps.

### What does LotsBlog cost?

Current plans and prices are on https://lots.blog/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate.

### Can my AI agent publish to my blog?

Yes. Once LotsBlog is connected, your agent can save an article as a draft, add images and topics, and publish or schedule it when you ask. Published posts go live on your LotsBlog address, your custom domain or yoursite.com/blog.

### Does my agent publish anything without asking me?

No. Saving a draft never publishes it. Your agent publishes or schedules only when you tell it to, and you can do the same from the LotsBlog dashboard.

### Can my agent remember my blog’s voice?

Yes. Each blog has an optional private Markdown blog guide for audience, voice, facts and writing rules. Your agent reads it with the blog, so the next chat starts with the same rules.

### Which blogging platforms support MCP?

The LotsBlog blog compares platforms on plan gate, what the agent can do and price model, checked on the vendors’ own pages: https://blog.lots.blog/best-blogging-platforms-with-mcp-support

### LotsBlog tools are not available

Check that LotsBlog is enabled for this session and authentication has completed. Reload the connection or start a new session to refresh its tools.
