How to Set Up and Use Halo
Halo MCP Server is a Python-based MCP server that connects AI assistants like Claude and Cursor to a self-hosted Halo blog platform, enabling full blog management through natural language. It exposes over 30 management tools covering articles, categories, tags, and attachments, plus 10 writing-focused AI prompts for content creation, SEO optimization, and translation. Developers and bloggers running Halo 2.21+ can use it to draft, edit, publish, and organize blog content without leaving their AI assistant.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10 or higher installed
- A running Halo blog instance (version 2.21 or higher) with a known URL
- A Halo personal access token generated from the Halo admin panel under Personal Center → Personal Tokens
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Qoder
Install the package
Install halo-mcp-server from PyPI using pip. A virtual environment is recommended to keep dependencies isolated.
pip install halo-mcp-serverGenerate a Halo access token
Log in to your Halo admin panel, navigate to Personal Center → Personal Tokens, click 'Generate New Token', set a name (e.g. 'MCP Server'), select all content management permissions, and copy the token — it is only shown once.
Locate the Claude Desktop config file
Find the claude_desktop_config.json file for your operating system. On Windows it is at %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json, on macOS at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, and on Linux at ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json.
Add the server to your MCP client config
Edit claude_desktop_config.json to register the halo-mcp-server. Set HALO_BASE_URL to your Halo instance URL and HALO_TOKEN to the token you generated.

"HALO_TOKEN": "your_halo_token_here"
}
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop and verify
Fully quit and relaunch Claude Desktop. The Halo server should appear in the connected tools list. Test it by asking Claude to list your recent blog posts.

}Prompts to try
Natural language prompts that trigger the server's article management and AI writing tools.
- "List my last 10 published blog posts"
- "Create a new draft article titled 'Getting Started with Rust' with a short introduction"
- "Publish the draft article with ID 42"
- "Generate 5 SEO-optimized title suggestions for an article about cloud computing"
- "Add a new category called 'DevOps' and tag the article about Docker with it"
- "Translate my latest article into English"Troubleshooting Halo
Connection refused or 401 Unauthorized errors when calling tools
Verify HALO_BASE_URL matches your Halo server address exactly (including http:// or https://) and that HALO_TOKEN is valid. Regenerate the token in the Halo admin panel if needed.
Claude does not show Halo tools after configuration
Ensure Python 3.10+ is on your PATH and that 'python -m halo_mcp_server' runs without errors in a terminal. If using a virtual environment, point the 'command' field to the venv Python binary (e.g. /path/to/venv/bin/python).
Article creation succeeds but content is not saved correctly
Halo MCP Server expects Markdown-formatted content. Confirm the content passed to the create tool is valid Markdown and that your Halo instance version is 2.21 or higher, which is required by the API this server uses.
