Custom MCP Servers
Built Strapi CMS (12 tools), Hypefury (social scheduling), and Reddit analyzer. Extended Claude with domain-specific capabilities.
About this system
MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets you extend Claude Code with custom tools. Instead of copy-pasting from other apps, Claude can directly interact with your systems.
I've built three custom MCP servers:
- Strapi CMS: 12 tools for creating, updating, and managing content directly from Claude
- Hypefury: Schedule social posts without leaving the conversation
- Reddit analyzer: Research subreddits and trending topics for content ideas
The power is in the integration. Write a blog post with Claude, publish to Strapi, and schedule social promotion—all in one flow.
