Publish blog posts from Codex

LotsBlog lets you publish blog posts from Codex. Add the LotsBlog MCP server with one command, sign in, and Codex turns merged pull requests and docs into drafts, adds images and publishes them on your own domain. The Codex CLI, IDE extension and desktop app share the setup, and the LotsBlog dashboard shows every post.

What Codex can do with LotsBlog

Codex writes; LotsBlog stores, hosts and publishes. Once connected, Codex 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

  • The Codex CLI, IDE extension or ChatGPT desktop app. They share one MCP configuration.
  • A LotsBlog account. You can create one during sign-in.

Codex and LotsBlog: questions

Where does Codex keep the LotsBlog server?
In ~/.codex/config.toml, or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project. The CLI, IDE extension and desktop app all read it.
Does Codex publish anything without asking me?
No. Saving a draft never publishes it. Codex publishes or schedules only when you tell it to, and you can do the same from the LotsBlog dashboard.
Do I need an API key?
No. MCP clients sign in to LotsBlog with OAuth in your browser. API keys are only for the REST API, for scripts and your own apps.
