Automate Multi-Step Content Operations

Give Windsurf a goal like "archive all Q1 campaign assets." Its Cascade agent maps out the steps on its own. It'll use `list_hubs` to find the right environment, `list_repositories` to locate the assets, and then run `list_content_items` to get the specific IDs. From there, it moves on to execution. Cascade will call `delete_content_item` for each one, respecting version checks so you don't accidentally delete something in use. You don't prompt each step; you just see the finished work.

Edit and Deploy Content with your MCP Server

Need to push a change live? Just ask. Your agent can `get_content_item` to pull the latest draft, apply changes with `update_content_item`, and then use `publish_content_item` to send it to the delivery CDN. This isn't just about editing text. Your agent understands the content schemas. It can create entirely new structured content with `create_content_item` that fits your existing models, right from a chat prompt.

Explore Your CMS Structure from the IDE

Get a handle on your Amplience setup without leaving your editor. Ask Windsurf to show you the layout. It uses `list_hubs`, `list_repositories`, and `list_folders` to give you a clear map of your environments and content organization. You can even check delivery status. The `get_delivery_content` tool lets your agent confirm that what's on the Delivery CDN matches the content you just published. It's a quick way to verify deployments.
