Description

n8n-nodes-ghost-blocks


n8n community node for publishing to Ghost CMS — slim, sandbox-compliant edition for n8n Cloud (verified).

Two versions, one workflow

This package exists alongside n8n-nodes-ghost-blocks. Pick the one that fits your n8n deployment:

| You are on… | Use | Why |
|—|—|—|
| n8n Cloud (managed) | n8n-nodes-ghost-blocks (this package) | Verified community node — installable via the in-app UI |
| Self-hosted n8n | n8n-nodes-ghost-blocks | Full features: image upload, bookmark/embed auto-enrichment, oEmbed and OpenGraph fetching |

Both versions share the same content blocks format — you can move workflows between them as long as you don’t use the features marked below.

What you get

✅ Create / Update / Get / List / Delete posts
✅ All 24 content block types (paragraph, heading, image, callout, signup, paywall, etc.)
✅ Inline markdown in paragraph/heading/quote
✅ SEO fields, scheduling, tags, authors, custom slugs
✅ Newsletter delivery on publish
✅ Tag and newsletter listing
✅ Health check

What’s not in this version

These features require Node APIs that n8n Cloud’s community-node sandbox doesn’t allow. Use the self-hosted version if you need them:

❌ Image upload (uses node:fs)
❌ Bookmark auto-enrichment via OpenGraph (uses HTTP fetch + DNS)
❌ Embed auto-enrichment via oEmbed (uses HTTP fetch)
❌ SSRF protection via DNS resolution

In this version, bookmark blocks need title/description/etc. provided in the JSON. embed blocks just store the URL — the host n8n’s HTTP Request node can pre-fetch oEmbed if you need the iframe HTML.

Installation

In your n8n Cloud instance:

1. Settings → Community Nodes → Install
2. Enter the package name: n8n-nodes-ghost-blocks
3. Click Install

Using with an AI agent

The content schema is shared with the full version. Use these resources to teach your AI agent the format:

• AI agent system prompt template — copy-paste into your agent’s system message.
• JSON Schema — for strict structured-output validation with OpenAI responseformat or Anthropic tooluse.
