How to connect Ghost to Orchly
Connect your Ghost site with an Admin API key so Orchly agents can publish posts directly.
To connect Ghost to Orchly, create a custom integration in Ghost Admin, copy its Admin API key, and paste it with your site URL into Settings → Integrations → Ghost. Agents can then publish posts and pages to your Ghost blog, with tags and authors, and fix SEO fields on existing posts.
How do I get a Ghost Admin API key?
- In Ghost Admin, go to Settings → Integrations.
- Add a custom integration and give it a name, like “Orchly”.
- Copy the Admin API Key.
- Note your site’s address, for example
https://yourblog.ghost.ioor your own domain.
Ghost shows two keys on a custom integration. The Content API key is read-only. Orchly needs the Admin API Key to publish.
How do I connect Ghost?
- In Orchly, go to Settings → Integrations and click Configure on Ghost.
- Paste the key into Ghost Admin API Key.
- Enter your address in Ghost Site URL.
- Click Connect Ghost.
The badge turns to Connected, and the drawer’s Details section shows the site.
To replace the key later, open the drawer, paste a new one and click Save changes. If you leave the key field blank, Orchly keeps the saved key.
What can agents do in Ghost?
- Publish posts and pages, as drafts or live.
- Set tags and authors, like tagging a new post with “SEO”.
- Update existing posts, for example adding fresh stats to last week’s article.
- Fix SEO fields on a post or page: meta title, meta description, Open Graph fields and the canonical URL. The Site Health Agent uses this when it finds a missing or weak description.
Ghost appears under Can post to in an agent’s Tools & data. Orchly asks before it publishes. See publishing agent output.
A live publish goes straight to your Ghost site. Until you trust an agent’s output, keep it on drafts and review them in Ghost or in Documents.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to check |
|---|---|
| Connection fails | Make sure you copied the Admin API Key, not the Content key, and that the site URL has no typo. |
| Posts go to the wrong site | The Ghost Site URL points somewhere else. Update it in the drawer. |
| A fix didn’t apply | Orchly finds posts by their slug. If you changed a post’s URL in Ghost, run the fix again against the new URL. |
To remove Ghost, open its drawer and click Disconnect. For other publishing options, see the integrations overview.
