Vinkius supports streamable HTTP and SSE.
* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
What is the Directus MCP Server?
The Directus MCP Server gives AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor direct access to Directus via 10 tools. Manage any SQL database via Directus — handle collection items, audit schemas and fields, manage users, and track media storage directly from any AI agent. Powered by the Vinkius - no API keys, no infrastructure, connect in under 2 minutes.
Built-in capabilities (10)
Tools for your AI Agents to operate Directus
Ask your AI agent "List all items in the 'articles' collection" and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 10 tools connected to real Directus data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

What the Directus MCP Server unlocks
Connect your Directus instance to any AI agent and take full control of your open-source data platform and headless CMS through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Collection Orchestration — Identify bounded routing spaces inside headless Directus SQL mappers and extract database tables traversing collections natively
- Item Management — Provision highly-available JSON payloads to write or update Directus rows, or irreversibly wipe records to clear internal database allocations
- Schema Auditing — Enumerate explicitly attached structured rules defining your PostgreSQL tables and execute bulk iterations to track registered system types
- Metadata Inspection — Analyze specific localized variables decoding native collection boundaries and extracting hidden tracking configurations seamlessly
- Field Discovery — Inspect deep internal arrays defining precisely which fields accept formatting and validate payloads strictly against your DB links
- Identity Oversight — Explains explicitly mapped profile arrays iterating the exact users authorized within the DB layer enforcing RBAC boundaries securely
- Media Storage — Retrieve the exact structural matching verifying file uploads and generating download routes for active frontends
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Directus Base URL and Static Token (found in User Directory > User > Token)
3. Start managing your data platform from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Database Administrators — audit schemas and manage users without writing complex SQL or using the Studio interface
- Full-stack Developers — create and update records and manage digital assets directly from the IDE or chat
- Product Teams — monitor collection data and verify field configurations across different environments
- Content Editors — manage headless content and digital assets through natural language conversation
Frequently asked questions about the Directus MCP Server
Can my agent list all collections and their fields in Directus?
Yes. Use the 'list_schema_collections' tool to see all tables, and then use 'list_collection_fields' for a specific collection. The agent retrieves the absolute structural details defining precisely which fields accept formatting.
How do I create a new record in a specific Directus collection?
Use the 'create_cms_record' tool. Provide the collection name and a JSON payload mapping the columns. Your agent will orchestrate the request to drop the formatted endpoint into your database and return the new UUID.
Can I audit authorized users and their roles via the agent?
Absolutely. The 'list_directus_users' tool retrieves the explicitly mapped profile arrays iterating the exact users authorized within the database layer. This helps you monitor RBAC boundaries and organizational identities.
