Manage content collections in Claude Desktop

Stop switching tabs to update your site. Use `list_content_items` to pull entries into your chat and `create_or_update_content_item` to push changes back to your backend immediately. Your agent handles the heavy lifting by parsing your schema. You get precise control over your database entries without leaving your desktop app.

Handle assets and media with Claude Desktop

Generate thumbnails or verify metadata using `get_asset_image` and `get_asset` directly inside your conversation. It saves you from digging through your file manager to find the right image URL. Everything stays synced with your remote instance. You just ask, and the server fetches the exact file details you need for your project.

Navigate site structure in Claude Desktop

Fetch your entire sitemap or specific menu items with `get_sitemap` and `get_menu`. It gives you an instant bird's-eye view of your site architecture. Use `list_routes` to check your current slugs before making edits. The server maps your site hierarchy so you never break a link during a content update.
