How to Use the Agility CMS MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I script a full backup of Agility CMS with Claude Code?

Run a Claude Code command that calls the syncincrementalitems tool with a sync token of 0. Pipe the output to a .json file. Do the same for syncincrementalpages to get a full, scriptable backup.

Q: How does Claude Code connect to my Agility CMS instance?

You add the Agility CMS server once using the claude mcp add command. This securely stores the configuration in your /.claude.json file. From then on, Claude Code handles the connection and authentication for you.

Q: Is it possible to check the size of a content list in Agility CMS using Claude Code?

Absolutely. Use Claude Code to call the countreferenceitems tool with the name of your list. It will return the total number of items directly to your terminal.

Connect Claude Code to Agility CMS for headless content operations. Automate backups, run audits, and query your CMS from any shell.

Perplexity

Automate content synchronization

The `sync_incremental_items` and `sync_incremental_pages` tools are built for automation. Use Claude Code in a cron job to call these tools and pull down any content that has changed since the last run. It's a simple, reliable way to back up your CMS. You can pipe the JSON output directly to a file, a database, or another service. Start with a sync token of 0 for a full backup, then use the returned token on subsequent runs for fast, incremental updates. This is perfect for CI/CD pipelines.

Run site health checks from the CLI

This MCP server lets you audit your Agility CMS site without a browser. Write a simple shell script that uses Claude Code to call `get_site_tree` and `get_site_flat_router`. You'll get the entire sitemap and route list as clean JSON. Pipe that output to tools like `jq` or `grep` to check for malformed URLs, count pages in a section, or verify that certain pages exist. Schedule it to run daily and you'll catch structural problems right away.

Query your CMS from the terminal

Forget logging into the Agility CMS dashboard to find something. With Claude Code, your terminal is your query interface. Use the `search_content_reference` tool to find an item by keyword, or grab it directly with `get_single_item` if you know the ID. Because Claude Code is just a CLI, you can integrate it anywhere. Chain commands together to fetch content, transform it with `jq`, and then send it to another API with `curl`. It turns your CMS into a data source you can script against.
