Perplexity

Edit Git-based XML schemas inside Cursor

`write_studio_xml` generates new content pages and structural nodes directly inside your local or remote Git workspace. Cursor uses this tool to write clean XML that matches your Crafter CMS blueprint constraints. Instead of copy-pasting XML blocks, the editor inserts the generated code directly into your active project tree. To prevent path errors, the `get_studio_tree` tool maps out your folder structure and reads nested XML hierarchies. This ensures the AI editor knows exactly where to write new files. You maintain complete control over the file paths and Git history as you build out your headless schemas.

Test live GraphQL queries using Cursor MCP Server

`execute_graphql_payload` runs live GraphQL queries against your Crafter Engine directly from Cursor's agent mode. The editor uses real API responses to shape your front-end components instead of relying on mock data. This speeds up component design because you see actual content structures as you write code. If a query fails, `get_site_config` isolates the GraphQL URL limits to debug the connection. You can also execute `search_crafter_delivery` to inspect specific image assets or payload arrays. This keeps your development loop tight and focused inside one window.

Deploy Studio changes directly from Cursor

`publish_crafter_content` pushes local Studio modifications straight to your live delivery endpoint. Cursor handles the workflow migration, allowing you to deploy code and content updates simultaneously. This reduces manual steps when testing how custom components render live content. The `list_platform_sites` tool displays your active domains so you never deploy to the wrong environment. You can also run `list_studio_users` to verify user permissions and blueprint constraints before executing high-impact deployments. It keeps your team's workflow synchronized and secure.

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
