Manage content items inside Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between your browser and your AI client. Use `create_content_item` to spin up new drafts or `update_content_item` to push changes directly from your chat session. Everything stays in sync with your GatherContent account. Your agent handles the heavy lifting while you focus on the actual writing.

Pull project schemas for your AI client

Get the exact structure of your content using `get_template_schema`. Your AI client needs this context to ensure the drafts you generate match the required fields in your CMS. It removes the guesswork from your workflow. You'll know exactly what fields exist and what data they require before you start writing.

Monitor workflow states in Claude Desktop

Check the progress of your projects by running `list_workflow_statuses` through this MCP server. You can see which items are stuck and which are ready for review. It gives you a clear view of your pipeline. You'll spot bottlenecks before they impact your publishing schedule.
