About Amplience MCP Server
Link your Amplience headless CMS to any intelligent AI agent to completely rethink how you handle your enterprise content architecture, deploying components natively through standard conversation.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Amplience into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Amplience and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
What you can do
- Discover Asset Hierarchies — Freely list top-level Hubs, target specific Repositories, and fetch internal Folders to help your AI inherently understand where every graphic and article lives.
- Content Retrieval — Paginate through dynamic content items, safely extracting complete metadata alongside current active schemas and validation rules.
- Edit & Create Structure — Give the agent full permission to push correctly strictly-typed JSON payloads back into the system, generating or modifying blog entries and product metadata.
- Manage Deployments — Permanently execute deletions (if revision locks permit) or instruct the system to fire a specific content configuration directly over to the edge delivery API to hit the live website.
The Amplience MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
