I run my whole website from my phone. No laptop needed.

I use write.as as my blog. It's simple, minimal, no distractions. That's exactly why I chose it.

The problem: write.as doesn't give you MCP tools to connect AI agents. So I built my own — writefreely-mcp-server. It was a fun project, and I made it open source in case anyone else finds it useful.

I plugged it into Claude. First through OpenClaw, then moved fully to Claude with Dispatch. Now I manage everything through conversation — from my phone.

Writing looks like this: I jot notes in Obsidian, Google Docs, or Notion. Sometimes I just photograph handwritten notes and upload the image. Then I ask Claude to turn it into a post. That's it.

Claude plays editor, not author. Small errors get caught and fixed before publishing. For bigger changes, we have a back-and-forth. I make the call. Claude executes.

I also set up a writing skill in Claude — a set of principles it applies before every publish. Shorter sentences, active voice, cleaner structure.

Everything here is 100% mine. Claude just makes it easier to get ideas out of my head and onto the page.

Even this post was created using Claude.

Want to set this up yourself?

Fair warning — this part requires comfort with a terminal and editing a JSON config file. If that's not you, a developer friend could get it running in about 10 minutes.

The MCP server is open source: writefreely-mcp-server. Install it with pip install writefreely-mcp-server, grab your write.as access token via the API, then drop the server config into your Claude MCP settings. The README has the exact config block to copy. Restart Claude and you're done.

Works with self-hosted WriteFreely too — just swap the base URL.
