Blog Publishing

Turn a finished blog post from a Cinatra blog agent into a publish-ready draft for your CMS. The connector hands the structured post — title, body, hero image, metadata — to the right publisher for each destination site, so the same blog flow can ship to WordPress today and a bespoke CMS tomorrow.

Install via the marketplace: find Blog Publishing, click Install, and the connector activates automatically. No additional configuration is required for the default WordPress path. To bind a site-specific connector to a WordPress instance, open the instance settings and set the Blog Connector field to the desired connector ID (for example, ossflywheel for an Elementor-based site).

The connector exposes a blog_connector_list MCP tool that returns the IDs, names, slugs, and Elementor-support flags for all registered connectors. The host application calls buildBlogDraftPayloadThroughSystem with a BlogDraftBuildInput value — title, body (Markdown or HTML), excerpt, and featured media — plus an optional opts object carrying the explicit connector ID or per-instance connector ID hint, and receives a BlogDraftPayload with a createPayload ready for the WordPress Drafts API and an optional postMeta map for custom fields.

The default connector converts Markdown to HTML (paragraphs, headings h4-h6, bold, italic, inline code, links, lists). For sites needing template injection or Elementor layout, install a vendor-scoped connector such as @oss-flywheel/blog-connector, which registers under its own connector ID. Run blog_connector_list to verify which connectors are active.

For local development, clone the repository and run pnpm install && pnpm test to execute the unit test suite. The connector self-configures at activation by resolving a host routing capability published by the Cinatra platform; if that service is not available when the connector activates, it throws a descriptive error. For troubleshooting a missing connector ID at runtime, the error message lists every registered connector ID so you can confirm the expected package is installed and active.
