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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Amplience tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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 Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
