About DatoCMS MCP Server
Connect your DatoCMS project to any AI agent and take full control of your headless CMS and digital experience platform through natural conversation.
The Vercel AI SDK gives every DatoCMS tool full TypeScript type inference, IDE autocomplete, and compile-time error checking. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and stream results progressively to React, Svelte, or Vue components. works on Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and any Node.js runtime.
What you can do
- GraphQL Discovery — Identify bounded routing spaces inside the DatoCMS GraphQL tree and extract delivery arrays targeting specific schemas
- Record Orchestration — List, retrieve, and create CMS records natively, enforcing JSON:API specifications and item_type validation rules
- Content Mutation — Safely update existing records by patching attribute blocks or irreversibly vaporize document nodes to clear internal database limits
- Media Oversight — Inspect deep internal arrays of uploaded assets, track Imgix proxy mappings, and verify physical storage identifiers securely
- Schema Auditing — Enumerate explicitly registered models and item types defining the structure of your content blocks and editor environments
- CDA/CMA Integration — Seamlessly switch between Content Delivery (CDA) for high-performance reading and Content Management (CMA) for structural edits
The DatoCMS MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Vercel AI SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
