The MCP Substack Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that downloads and parses posts from Substack. It is built for seamless integration with the Claude desktop application.
To begin using it, install its dependencies and configure the Claude desktop app with the server's details. After starting the server, you can command Claude to download and summarize Substack posts directly.
Its key features include downloading public Substack posts and parsing them to extract the title, author, subtitle, and content. It is specifically designed for compatibility with the Claude AI desktop app.
Common use cases are automating the download and summary of posts from popular Substack authors, integrating Substack content analysis into AI conversations, and enhancing user experience by providing insights from various newsletters.
You need Node.js version 18 or higher and the Claude desktop app to run this server. It works with any public Substack post. The project is licensed under the MIT License.
