Comment: MCP Server for Content Publishing

The per-platform field handling problem is where this gets painful in practice. I publish across LinkedIn, Dev.to, email (Kit), and YouTube from a single content pipeline, and the formatting divergence is constant. LinkedIn wants short paragraphs with line breaks. Dev.to expects frontmatter and markdown. Email needs inline HTML with template wrappers. YouTube descriptions have their own character limits and link formatting.

An MCP server that abstracts that away would save me real time. The question I'd push on: does the server own the canonical format, or does each platform adapter? Because if the server tries to be format-neutral, you just move the complexity downstream.
