Query and Mutate Hygraph Schemas in Claude Desktop

The `execute_graphql_query` tool lets your Claude Desktop agent pull raw Hygraph content models directly from your headless endpoint. Instead of copy-pasting GraphQL payloads into a web browser, you ask Claude Desktop to inspect your production data structures inside the chat interface. When you need to push changes, `execute_graphql_mutation` writes direct updates to your Hygraph schema without leaving the desktop app. The local runner handles the raw payload delivery so you can test mutations inside Claude Desktop before committing them to production.

Inspect and Build Models with this MCP Server

This MCP Server uses `list_schema_introspection` to let Claude Desktop map your entire headless Hygraph setup without manual API lookups. The server feeds active schema definitions directly into the local chat window so the agent knows exactly which models are available. To narrow down specific fields, `get_model_fields` inspects internal arrays and displays your Hygraph configurations. This means your Claude Desktop agent can draft precise validations and structure new content models that match your system requirements.

Manage Live Publishing and Locales Locally

The `publish_cms_document` tool shifts your draft Hygraph content to a live production state directly from Claude Desktop. You control the transition of your marketing copy or product catalogs without opening the web interface of your headless CMS. If you manage multi-region setups, `list_project_locales` identifies the active translation spaces available in your project. This MCP Server lets Claude Desktop read these arrays to verify that localized content strings map perfectly to your target regions before you run a publish command.
