Can my agent create new entries in Contentstack?

Yes. Use the 'create_cms_entry' tool. Provide the content type UID and a JSON object containing the entry fields. The agent will orchestrate the absolute explicit bindings to generate a new draft in your stack.

How do I publish an entry to multiple environments via chat?

Use the 'publish_to_environment' tool. Provide the content type UID, the entry UID, and a comma-separated list of environments (e.g., 'production,staging'). The agent will trigger the exact sequence to push your data live.

Can I inspect the fields and validation rules of a content type?

Absolutely. The 'get_schema_details' tool retrieves the structural extraction of properties for a specific content type UID, showing you exactly which fields are required and what data the database expects.

About Contentstack MCP Server

Connect your Contentstack account to any AI agent and take full control of your agentic experience platform and headless CMS through natural conversation.

Cursor's Agent mode turns Contentstack into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Contentstack 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

Entry Orchestration — List and retrieve document rows bound to specific content types and create new drafts using purely formatted JSON attributes
Content Mutation — Safely update existing entries by overwriting schema blocks and substituting draft values through the Management API
Live Publishing — Trigger the exact publication sequence to push CMS data to specific environments (e.g., development, production, staging)
Schema Inspection — Enumerate global schemas and decode native boundaries to identify exactly what fields and validation rules the database expects
Media Management — Access global files and retrieve explicit media metadata, including original Contentstack URLs, to mitigate manual CDN scraping
Repository Cleanup — Irreversibly remove app nodes and delete live document rows to manage internal database allocations and clear quotas

The Contentstack 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.

Contentstack + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Contentstack MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
