Perplexity

Run headless node operations via the Drupal MCP Server

The `list_content_nodes` tool identifies bounded routing spaces inside your headless Drupal models directly from your chat window. You can instantly query your content pool, pull specific records using `get_single_node`, and draft updates without opening the admin UI. Write clean payloads to your database with `create_cms_node` to publish new entries. If you need to update drafts or clean up stale content, `patch_cms_node` and `wipe_cms_node` handle mutations and deletions safely.

Map taxonomies and vocabularies in Claude Desktop

The `list_term_vocabularies` tool enumerates explicitly attached structured rules exporting taxonomies to your workspace using this MCP connection. Your agent uses this data to organize content structures and maintain strict categorization standards. Extract precise properties driving active term mappings with `get_taxonomy_term` to keep frontend routing clean. This keeps your headless site's navigation aligned with your database structure.

Audit files and user access levels

The `list_managed_files` tool inspects deep internal arrays to mitigate specific picture constraints and track media assets. It gives your agent immediate visibility into your server's file storage layout. Run `get_file_metadata` to verify file storage structures before running frontend builds. You can also monitor active admin identities using `list_drupal_users` to keep your deployment secure.
