About Crafter CMS MCP Server
Connect your Crafter CMS instance to any AI agent and take full control of your enterprise headless CMS and Git-based content workflows through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Crafter CMS data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- GraphQL Orchestration — Execute absolute explicit nesting requirements against the delivery schema using raw GraphQL payloads natively
- Studio Tree Navigation — Perform structural extraction of properties driving active Git hierarchies and trace nested XML structures safely
- Git-Based Content Writing — Provision highly-available XML payloads to write physical Git boundaries and generate new pages or components
- Live Publishing — Trigger automated workflow bounds to migrate changes from Crafter Studio onto the high-performance Delivery Engine
- Elasticsearch Discovery — Inspect deep internal arrays leveraging integrated Elasticsearch to perform full-text queries spanning all content nodes
- Platform Governance — Identify precise active arrays spanning rented Context domains and list configured sites and studio users securely
- Environment Audit — Discovered disconnected physical limits fetching site configurations and global variables tied to your frontend SDKs
The Crafter CMS MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
