About GatherContent MCP Server
Connect your GatherContent (by Bynder) account to any AI agent to automate your structured content operations and editorial workflows through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). GatherContent is a content operations platform that helps teams organize and produce structured content at scale. This MCP server enables you to manage your content projects, retrieve item data, and track workflow statuses directly through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings GatherContent data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 12 tools — Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
Key Features
- Project Orchestration — List all content projects and fetch detailed configuration metadata for each environment.
- Content Oversight — Access and retrieve structured data from your content items (pages, articles), including field-level metadata.
- Workflow Automation — Monitor and list the workflow statuses (e.g., Draft, Review, Published) configured for your projects.
- Item Management — Programmatically create new content items or update existing ones to keep your production pipeline moving.
- Template Discovery — Access available content templates and fetch field schemas to ensure consistent data entry.
- Folder Navigation — List project folders to understand your content hierarchy and organization.
- User Identity — Fetch profile information for the authenticated API identity to verify access levels.
- Real-time Synchronization — Keep your structured content strategy accessible to your AI assistant without leaving your primary workspace.
