+
+An MCP server for Substack that lets AI assistants read your publication data and manage drafts. The draft list shown in the demo above is sample data, not real account values.
+
+**Safe by design:** This server can create and edit drafts but cannot publish or delete posts. You always review and publish manually through Substack's editor.

+## About
 
-**Safe by design:** This server can create and edit drafts but cannot publish or delete posts. You always review and publish manually through Substack's editor.
+Built and maintained by [Conor Bronsdon](https://github.com/conorbronsdon) for the [Chain of Thought](https://chainofthought.show) podcast production workflow, where it drafts and reviews newsletter posts before a human hits publish. Conor hosts Chain of Thought, a show about AI infrastructure and how practitioners actually build with it. More tools for creators live in [ai-tools-for-creators](https://github.com/conorbronsdon/ai-tools-for-creators). Find Conor on X at [@ConorBronsdon](https://x.com/ConorBronsdon).

+## Contributing
+
+Issues and pull requests are welcome. Because this server uses Substack's unofficial API, the most useful contributions are fixes when an endpoint changes. If a tool stops working, open an issue with the tool name and the error. The safe-by-design boundary stays: no publish, no delete, no schedule.
