About Frontify MCP Server
Connect your Frontify account to any AI agent and take full control of your digital asset management (DAM), brand guidelines, and collaborative workspaces through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Frontify 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
- Workspace Project Orchestration — Enumerate explicitly registered project schemas and gather required IDs to browse and discover collaborative workspaces natively
- Asset Lifecycle Management — Retrieve detailed metadata for project assets and perform structural extraction of properties driving active media limits flawslessly
- Brand Guideline Discovery — Identify precise active arrays spanning rented documentation trees, identifying where strict UI/UX constraints and brand rules are registered
- Metadata Mutation — Update global asset boundaries by substituting attributes like titles and descriptions securely through GraphQL mutation logic
- Media Content Oversight — Analyze specific global boundaries iterating through brands to discover exact tenant separations inside a single account
- Identity & User Management — Retrieve the exact structural matching verifying identity schemas and invite new users directly into designated project workspaces securely
- Digital Asset Purging — Irreversibly vaporize explicit app nodes to remove media assets and separating limits pulling items offline flawlessly
- Custom GraphQL Execution — Identify bounded routing spaces inside the headless Frontify DAM utilizing native GraphQL strings for advanced structural queries
The Frontify 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.
