Latent Ink
The brief
live · rev IA blog platform where the admin screen is your own Claude. I write, edit, tag, schedule and publish by talking to it, through an admin MCP. I rarely open a dashboard.
There is no agent built in. The server hands over data and context, and the Claude the writer already uses does the thinking. AI helps; it does not write posts on its own.
Readers get two ways in. A normal website that works without any of this, or a reader MCP they can add to their own Claude to search, summarise, comment and ask what they missed since last time.
All of it runs in one Cloudflare Worker on the free tier. D1 for the data, KV only for caches because it allows a thousand writes a day, and Workers AI kept inside the free allowance for summaries and comment moderation. When the allowance runs out, things degrade rather than break.
My own blog first. If it holds up, it becomes the product.
what it is really testing
Whether people can connect with something when the main way in is a protocol. Tool calls are excellent plumbing, and nobody falls for a blog because of its plumbing. So the post view comes back as an MCP App card with the site's own fonts and images, and the website is still there for anyone who just wants to read.
The screenshots here are from a local copy of the site holding the one real post, so the dashboard's numbers are all zero.

The log
8 updatesPosts now open as a card in the Claude app, with the site's fonts and images, rather than as a wall of text.
A staff UI at /mng, for the moments a screen really is quicker.
Two-sentence summaries on publish, and analytics that count readers without cookies and forget them at midnight.
Staff invites, style memory and a skills registry, so every writer's Claude gets the same skills and their own voice.
Comments, checked by Llama Guard on the way in and held for a human when the free allowance runs out. And "what you missed", which hands the data to the reader's own Claude to summarise.
The reader site, built from the mockup. Markdown rendered once when a post is saved, site settings and RSS.
Categories, tags, internal links tracked between posts, series that nest to any depth, and related posts.
First slice. The monorepo, Google sign-in, posts with their review flow, and both MCP servers.
