Connector setup, webhook and MCP reference
Connectors
GitHub setup
GitHub App installation
Connect BirchSeek to your content repo: install the GitHub App, pick the repositories it may touch, map your frontmatter, and get each article as a PR.
WordPress setup
Application password
Connect BirchSeek to WordPress with an application password: requirements, generating it in wp-admin, the fields we write, and the Yoast/RankMath caveat.
Ghost setup
Admin API key
Connect BirchSeek to Ghost with a custom integration Admin API key: creating the integration, the fields we write, and how short-lived token auth works.
Webflow setup
Site API token
Connect BirchSeek to a Webflow CMS collection with a Site API token: scopes, mapping your collection's fields, and what Webflow's rich-text sanitiser drops.
Shopify setup
Dev Dashboard app
Connect BirchSeek to a Shopify blog: creating a Dev Dashboard app, the client-credentials grant, scopes, and where the SEO title and description live.
Wix setup
Account API key
Connect BirchSeek to Wix Blog with an account API key: the three permissions, why a site member is required, and how a refresh updates a published post.
Notion setup
Internal connection
Connect BirchSeek to a Notion database: the internal connection, its three capabilities, the BirchSeek ID column, and why the page body is machine-owned.
Framer setup
Project API key
Connect BirchSeek to a Framer CMS collection: the project API key, field mapping, and what Framer's API does and does not allow. Not live yet - here is why.
GoHighLevel setup
Private Integration Token
Connect BirchSeek to a GoHighLevel sub-account blog: the private integration token, all seven blogs scopes, and the ids you need to collect.
dev.to setup
Forem API key
Cross-post approved BirchSeek articles to dev.to as drafts, with a canonical URL pointing back at your own site so the copy never outranks the original.
Hashnode setup
Personal Access Token
Cross-post approved BirchSeek articles to Hashnode with originalArticleURL pointing at your own site, so the syndicated copy never competes with the original.
Medium setup
Integration token, legacy only
Cross-post approved articles to Medium with a canonical URL back to your own site. Medium issues no new integration tokens: you need one you already hold.
Substack
Webhook, not a direct connector
Why BirchSeek has no direct Substack connector, what the supported route is, and how to publish approved articles to Substack through a signed webhook instead.
Reference
Webhook reference
Signing secret
The BirchSeek webhook contract: the article.published payload, HMAC-SHA256 signature verification, delivery-id idempotency, and the retry schedule.
MCP server
API token
Connect an AI agent to BirchSeek over MCP: mint a scoped API token, configure your client, and drive a full run from keyword research through to publish.
Off-domain placements
