// api and ai
Write with AI. Build with the API.
Every blog comes with its own API and AI connector, ready to use. They run on your own blog, so nothing goes through me.
Write with AIAdd your blog to Claude or ChatGPT at
/_emdash/api/mcp and say “draft a post about…” or “fix the typos in my last post”. It signs in through your blog, and you choose what it may do. Connect ClaudeREST APIRead and change posts, pages, pictures, menus and settings from your own code, at
/_emdash/api/, with an OpenAPI description so developers can generate code from it.Access tokensCreate tokens in your blog's admin for scripts and automations. Each one is limited to what you allow, and you can switch it off at any time.
