presscart — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Connects AI agents to the Presscart marketplace to browse 1,700+ media outlets, place guest post orders, and track published articles.
claude mcp add --transport http presscart https://mcp.presscart.com/mcpWhat presscart does
The server exposes endpoints to inspect a directory of 1,700+ outlets offering paid editorial placements. Through dedicated tools, the assistant reviews publisher listings, checks product types, and queries geographic coverage by country or state.
Campaign and workflow operations require an explicit profile_id. When that identifier is not known in advance, the workflow expects calls to list_teams followed by list_profiles before placing an order or submitting draft copy. It also provides tools to order content writing directly.
Connection runs over hosted HTTP via https://mcp.presscart.com/mcp or a local Node.js process. A valid Presscart account is required: access fails without authentication via Supabase-backed OAuth Bearer tokens or direct credentials in the X-Presscart-API-Token header.
