View and edit an automation created through MCP

The site, MCP and REST API use the same workspace entities. There is no separate agent-only copy of an author series. Creating a series through MCP does not automatically enable it or send a public message.

  1. Select the same workspace that was connected in MCP.
  2. Open Autopublish. Overview and Series and rules include author series and news rules. Filter by type or search by name.
  3. Read the actual enabled/paused state, channels, recurrence, timezone and next run. Signal-driven news rules show that they run on a signal instead of inventing a clock time.
  4. View edition opens the actual saved result. Check generation readiness and the separate delivery result for each channel. A trial is labelled as a trial, not as a scheduled publication.
  5. Configure opens the step-by-step editor for that same series. Fixed section titles, item roles, saved reference images, variant styles, individual visuals and channel timezones remain in the configuration even when collapsed.
  6. Save changes. Saving is not generation and does not publish an edition. Changing content or visuals affects future editions; old frozen editions and delivery receipts remain historical records.

If the series is missing​

Check the workspace selector, the type/search filters and any partial-loading warning. A failed source of data is shown as an error, not as an empty workspace. Retry loading. Viewer roles can inspect settings but cannot change or enable them.

Editing in several places​

The editor keeps unsaved work in this browser session, scoped to the workspace and series. A failed save leaves entered data intact. If MCP or another tab changes the configuration, a stale save is rejected. Reload the current series; a differing local draft is offered explicitly instead of silently replacing server settings.

A legacy /author bookmark still opens the author editor. Catalog browsing is now on Materials. Existing news-candidate deep links still open their review dialog in the unified Autopublish section.

For creation, follow First author series. If an edition stopped, see recovery.
