# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
  "jentic": {
    "url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
    "auth": "oauth"
  }
}

# Then ask your agent:
"create a hubspot blog author"

# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Authors API.

Create blog author profiles individually or in batches with name, bio, and avatar fields

Look up an author by object ID before assigning them as a blog post byline

Archive authors that are no longer active without deleting their historical posts

Attach an author to a multi-language group so translated posts share one byline identity

View OpenAPI Document

The HubSpot CMS Blog Authors API manages the author records that appear as bylines on HubSpot-hosted blog posts. It exposes single and batch endpoints for creating, reading, updating, and archiving authors, plus a multi-language group so the same author can be linked across translated blog content. Use it to keep author profiles, photos, and bios in sync with an external system of record such as a headless CMS or HR directory.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Authors API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Sync Author Directory From HRIS

Companies that publish blog content from named employees often want HubSpot author records to mirror their HR directory. Using the batch create and update endpoints, a nightly job can mint new authors when employees join and archive them when they leave. The multi-language endpoints keep one author identity across translated posts so the byline stays consistent.

Read 50 employee records from the HRIS, transform them into the HubSpot author schema, and POST them in one call to /cms/v3/blogs/authors/batch/create.

Multi-Language Byline Management

Brands publishing in multiple languages need each translated post to credit the same human author rather than a duplicate per locale. The multi-language endpoints attach an author to a language group, set the primary language, and update bios across variants in one call. This prevents fragmented author pages and improves SEO for branded content.

Group three author records (en, es, de) under one language group via /cms/v3/blogs/authors/multi-language/attach-to-lang-group and mark the English variant as primary.

Author Profile Cleanup

Editorial teams accumulate stale author records over time. The list endpoint paired with batch archive lets an agent identify authors with no recent posts and retire them in one operation, leaving past blog posts and their original byline intact.

List all authors via /cms/v3/blogs/authors, filter to those whose ID is not referenced in the last 100 blog posts, and archive them with /cms/v3/blogs/authors/batch/archive.

Agent-Driven Blog Publishing

An AI publishing agent that drafts a blog post must attach a real author. Through Jentic, the agent searches for the author lookup operation, picks the correct profile by name, and passes the returned ID to the CMS Posts API. Jentic abstracts the OAuth handshake and returns the operation schema directly to the agent.

Use Jentic to search 'find hubspot blog author by name', load the schema, execute it with name='Jane Doe', and pass the returned objectId into the next blog post creation call.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

HubSpot OAuth tokens and Private App keys are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents call author endpoints with a scoped execution token, so the underlying HubSpot secret never enters their context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic with intents like 'create hubspot blog author' or 'attach author to language group' and receive the matching operation plus its input schema, ready to execute.

Time to first call

Direct integration: 1-2 days to wire OAuth, schema mapping, and batch error handling. Through Jentic: under an hour to search, load, and execute.

Use Posts after Authors when the agent needs to publish a draft and assign the freshly created author.

Complementary

Blog Tags

Choose Tags when the agent needs to categorise content rather than identify the writer.

Use Blog Settings when the agent needs to configure the blog itself before assigning authors and posts.

FAQs

Specific to using Authors API through Jentic.

What authentication does the HubSpot Blog Authors API use?

It accepts HubSpot OAuth 2.0 access tokens or a Private App token in the Authorization header, with the content scope. Jentic stores those credentials in its vault so the agent only receives a scoped execution token at call time.

Can I bulk-create blog authors with the HubSpot Authors API?

Yes. POST /cms/v3/blogs/authors/batch/create accepts an array of author objects in one request, returning created records with their HubSpot object IDs. Pair it with /cms/v3/blogs/authors/batch/update for revisions.

What are the rate limits for the HubSpot Authors API?

Standard HubSpot public API limits apply: 100 requests per 10 seconds for OAuth apps and 110 requests per 10 seconds for Private Apps on Pro and Enterprise. Batch endpoints count as one request even when they update many authors.

How do I attach an author to a translated blog post through Jentic?

After pip install jentic, search 'attach hubspot blog author to language group', load the returned schema, and execute it with the author IDs and locale. Jentic resolves OAuth and posts to /cms/v3/blogs/authors/multi-language/attach-to-lang-group on the agent's behalf.

Does the Authors API let me delete an author permanently?

No. HubSpot only supports archiving via /cms/v3/blogs/authors/batch/archive. Archived authors are hidden from new selections but their byline remains on historical posts.

Can the API upload an author's avatar image?

Not directly — the spec exposes metadata fields like fullName, bio, and avatar (URL) but not file upload. Host the image first via the HubSpot Files API, then pass the URL into the avatar field.
