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