Sync content models directly in Cursor

Feed real API responses into your code generation by using `list_content_items`. Your AI client sees the structure of your data in real-time. Stop relying on mock JSON files. This approach ensures your components match your live CMS schema exactly.

Update CMS records from Cursor

Push configuration changes or content updates to your backend using `create_or_update_content_item`. It keeps your development flow moving without context switching. You stay in your code editor while the server executes the mutation. It feels like your backend is part of your local project.

Query site routes in Cursor

Run `list_routes` to get a live list of your site structure. It helps you build dynamic routing logic based on actual production data. The server returns a clean list of slugs for your implementation. Your agent uses this to write accurate path-handling code the first time.
