Perplexity

Automate XML deployments via Claude Code

The XML provisioning tool replaces brittle API wrappers in your shell scripts. You can now trigger `write_studio_xml` straight from your terminal via this MCP integration to provision highly-available XML payloads during a build step. Cleaning up ephemeral staging environments takes seconds. A simple cron job can fire `wipe_studio_xml` to drop live database bytes and vaporize old test nodes automatically.

Trace GraphQL payloads in the terminal

The GraphQL execution tool traces routing spaces inside the Headless Crafter Engine directly from your terminal. Now you just run `execute_graphql_payload` to retrieve explicit cloud logging traces limitlessly. Checking live endpoints fits right into your existing workflows. Your headless agent calls `search_crafter_delivery` to inspect deep internal arrays and mitigate constraints without any GUI bloat.

Audit configurations with this MCP Server

The platform listing tool validates deployment targets by checking accurate site data. Your CI pipeline can run `list_platform_sites` to identify precise active arrays across your rented context domains before pushing any changes. User permissions and global rules are just as easy to extract. The CLI pulls `get_site_globals` and `list_studio_users` to verify blueprint constraints and ensure the environment matches your expected state.

Common questions about Crafter CMS MCP in Claude Code

Run `claude mcp add --transport http crafter-cms -- ` in your terminal. Make sure you place all flags before the server name, and verify the connection with `claude mcp list`.

Yes, headless execution is exactly what this tool is built for. Your automated pipeline can call `publish_crafter_content` to migrate Studio changes onto the Delivery Engine live endpoint.

Mapping out hierarchies works perfectly from the command line. The agent runs `get_studio_tree` to identify exact folders and trace nested XML structures safely.

Ask your terminal agent to fetch the active configuration. It will use `get_site_config` to isolate GraphQL URL limits and return the exact JSON payload your script needs.

Your structural matching blueprints and Studio user lists remain strictly confidential. Every command routes through a V8 Isolate Sandbox with single-endpoint token authentication, guaranteeing that your CI/CD environment never leaks sensitive access details.
