How to Set Up and Use Zhihu Auto Publish MCP
zh_mcp_server is a Python-based MCP server that automates publishing articles to Zhihu (知乎), China's leading Q&A and knowledge-sharing platform. It uses Selenium and ChromeDriver to drive a real Chrome browser session, allowing AI assistants to generate full articles and post them directly to your Zhihu account without manual intervention. This is the tool to use when you want an end-to-end workflow from AI content generation to live Zhihu publication.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10 or higher installed
- Google Chrome browser installed on your machine
- ChromeDriver matching your Chrome version (installed via npx @puppeteer/browsers install chromedriver@<version>)
- A Zhihu account with phone-number login capability
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cherry Studio
Clone the repository
Download the source code from GitHub to your local machine so you can install and run the server.
git clone https://github.com/Victorzwx/zh_mcp_server.git
cd zh_mcp_serverInstall Python dependencies
Install all required packages including selenium, requests, mcp, and webdriver-manager from the requirements file.
pip install -r requirements.txtInstall ChromeDriver
Install the ChromeDriver version that matches your installed Chrome browser. Replace 134.0.6998.166 with your actual Chrome version number, which you can find in Chrome under Help > About Google Chrome.
npx @puppeteer/browsers install [email protected]Save your Zhihu login cookie
Run the login helper, which will open Chrome, prompt you to enter your phone number, then wait for you to paste the SMS verification code into the terminal. This saves your session cookie locally so subsequent runs do not require re-login.
python -m zh_mcp_server.__login__Configure your MCP client
Add the server to your MCP client configuration file (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop, or the equivalent for Cherry Studio). The server is launched as a Python module.
{
"mcpServers": {
"zh_mcp_server": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "zh_mcp_server"]
}
}
}Enable UTF-8 encoding (optional, for Java or non-ASCII clients)
If you are calling this server from a Java Spring AI application or any client that may produce garbled Chinese characters, add the encoding arguments and environment variable.
{
"mcpServers": {
"zh_mcp_server": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "zh_mcp_server", "--encoding=utf-8"],
"env": {
"PYTHONIOENCODING": "utf-8"
}
}
}

Client configuration (Claude Desktop)
Minimal configuration block for claude_desktop_config.json to connect Claude Desktop to the Zhihu auto-publish server.
{
"mcpServers": {
"zh_mcp_server": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "zh_mcp_server"]
}
}
}Prompts to try
Example natural-language prompts you can send to your AI assistant once the server is connected.
- "Write a 1000-word article about the benefits of TypeScript for backend development and publish it to Zhihu."
- "Generate an opinion piece on remote work trends in 2025 and post it to my Zhihu account."
- "Draft a technical article explaining how MCP works, then publish it to Zhihu."Troubleshooting Zhihu Auto Publish MCP
Chrome window opens but login fails or the browser crashes immediately
Confirm that the ChromeDriver version exactly matches your installed Chrome version. Run `google-chrome --version` (or check Help > About Google Chrome) and reinstall ChromeDriver with the matching version number via `npx @puppeteer/browsers install chromedriver@<your-version>`.
Published articles contain garbled or incorrect Chinese characters
Add `--encoding=utf-8` to the args list and set `PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8` in the env block of your MCP client config. This is particularly necessary when the client is not Python-native (e.g., Java-based MCP clients).
Server fails with a cookie or session error after initial setup
Re-run `python -m zh_mcp_server.__login__` to refresh and overwrite the saved cookie. Zhihu sessions can expire, so periodic re-login is expected.
