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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Contentstack 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
- 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 Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
