# ArcXP MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > ArcXP MCP lets you manage your newsroom's content, media, and author profiles through any AI agent. Instead of clicking through a complex CMS, you can use natural language to create stories, search through your entire archive, and pull high-resolution photos or video playlists. It bridges the gap between your editorial workflow and your AI tools, making it easy to handle bulk updates or quick content checks without leaving your preferred workspace. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_sbG2A8ouvnjTVPhSpVrr8SXRsLL0Feld5LH5iw7D/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** publishing-workflow, cms-integration, newsroom-automation, content-distribution, media-management, editorial-tools ## Description Managing a high-volume newsroom usually means jumping between a complex CMS, a media library, and various author profiles. It is a lot of friction when you just want to get a story live or find an old report from years ago. This Connector changes that by letting your AI agent handle the heavy lifting of the ArcXP environment for you. You can talk to your agent to build out new stories using the required schemas, find specific media assets for a breaking news piece, or update a batch of articles in seconds. It makes the CMS feel like an extension of your own thoughts rather than a separate destination you have to navigate. If you are looking for a way to pull all these capabilities into one place, Vinkius makes it simple to connect this Connector to your existing setup. You get to focus on the actual journalism and content strategy while the agent handles the data entry, searching, and organization. It is about moving faster without having to learn every single button in the backend. ## Tools ### delete_ans_content delete_ans_content removes specific stories from your CMS.

Ask your agent to fetch a specific story by its ID. It understands the complex JSON structure of ANS, allows you to instruct it on what changes to make (e.g., 'Update the headline and add this new quote to paragraph 3'), and can dispatch an update command that preserves the content tree without breaking the CMS. **Is it possible to find specific high-res photos inside the ArcXP Media Library using natural language?** Yes! Use the photo assets search action to query tags or captions using descriptive words. The AI fetches the asset ID, caption, credit strings, and directly accessible image URLs, letting you browse your editorial imagery seamlessly. **Can I query what articles a specific editor has authored?** Yes! You can retrieve the Editor ID from the Author service and run an Elasticsearch query targeting their author object in the search tool. This quickly compiles all the CMS output for that specific reporter.
