I Built a Custom MCP Server That Publishes My Blogs for Me

Why I Started This

I've been deep in AI engineering prep lately — deployed a couple of full-stack AI projects, fine-tuned an open-weight LLM, and been grinding DSA for placements. Somewhere in the middle of all that, I got curious about MCP (Model Context Protocol) and decided to actually build something with it instead of just reading about it.

The idea was simple: what if Claude could read a rough draft blog post sitting on my machine, clean it up, and publish it straight to Dev.to — without me touching the Dev.to UI at all?

Turns out, that's exactly what MCP is for.
