About Directus MCP Server
Connect your Directus instance to any AI agent and take full control of your open-source data platform and headless CMS through natural conversation.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and Directus tool infrastructure. Connect 10 tools through the Vinkius and use Mastra's built-in workflow engine to chain tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution — deployable to any Node.js host in one command.
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
The Directus MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Mastra AI in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
