## What it does

Velog is a stdio MCP server for Node.js that hands your agent access to velog.io. It covers the writing loop end to end: create a draft, publish it, edit or delete a post, push local images to the Velog CDN, group posts into series, leave comments and replies, like or unlike entries. A second group of tools is research-oriented — keyword search, trending posts by day, week, month or year, a trending report, and topic discovery that crosses popular tags against what you have already published.

Two tools handle content you already have. One pulls markdown from a GitHub blog (Jekyll, Hugo, anything with front matter) into Velog drafts and rewrites relative image paths to raw URLs. The other reads commit history and diffs from a local repository and produces a technical post draft; you can set how many commits to scan, a range after a tag, whether to include diffs and how many diff lines to take, plus tag hints.

Setup needs Node.js 18+ and Velog tokens. You copy `access_token` and `refresh_token` from DevTools → Application → Cookies on `https://velog.io` and feed them through `npx -p velog-mcp-claude velog-mcp-setup`; they land in `~/.velog-mcp.json` with `0600` permissions. The access token lasts about 24 hours and the server refreshes it on its own, the refresh token about 30 days — after that, run setup again. Drafts live in the server session memory, so a restart wipes them and they expire after 24 hours. Publish with `is_private: true` if you want a draft to survive.
