Substack + ChatGPT

Read Substack publication content, posts, comments, podcast episodes via public RSS/JSON feeds. 5 tools, no auth required.

Requisitos previos

Las instrucciones de configuración completas están incluidas en el conector (visibles en el store al seleccionarlo). Las variables de entorno requeridas:

SUBSTACK_PUBLICATION_URL

Paso 1 — Obtener credenciales

Setup: NO API KEY. Set SUBSTACK_PUBLICATION_URL = the publication's base URL (e.g. https://lennysnewsletter.substack.com). For tools that target a specific publication, the URL is taken from this env var.

Authentication: NONE. All reads use public endpoints (the same JSON Substack's own site fetches).

Content endpoints available:

  • /api/v1/posts?limit=N&offset=M — paginated posts list (each post: id, title, slug, post_date, audience, type)
  • /api/v1/posts/by-id/{id} — single post detail
  • /api/v1/comments/{post_id} — top comments on a post
  • /api/v1/podcast/feed — podcast episodes (audio newsletters only)
  • /feed — standard RSS feed

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Paso 2 — Instalar el adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Paso 3 — Añadir el conector en ChatGPT

ChatGPT soporta servidores MCP a través de la función Connectors (planes Plus / Pro / Team / Enterprise). El plan gratuito no admite conectores personalizados.

  1. Abre ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors (o pulsa el icono 🔧 en el composer → Manage connectors).
  2. Pulsa "Add custom connector".
  3. Rellena:
    • Name: Substack
    • MCP server URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → pega tu MCP API key (de AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Pulsa Connect para autorizar.
