How to Use the Hygraph (Headless CMS) MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure Hygraph (Headless CMS) inside Cursor?

You add the server configuration to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Once saved, the editor automatically loads the tools for your agent to use.

Q: Can Cursor generate TypeScript types from my Hygraph (Headless CMS) schema?

Yes, the agent uses listschemaintrospection to inspect your active models. It then writes accurate TypeScript types directly into your local project files.

Q: How does this MCP Server handle media assets in Cursor?

The listmediaassets tool allows the editor to check your media limits and structured rules. This helps you verify asset paths while writing your frontend image components.

Q: Can I safely update draft content from the editor?

You can use updatecmsdocument to edit draft values without affecting your live site. This lets you test content updates in your local development environment first.

Generate code using live schema data from Cursor by connecting directly to your headless CMS.

Generate Code from Live Cursor Schema Queries

The `get_model_fields` tool inspects your internal schema arrays and delivers exact Hygraph configurations directly to the Cursor agent. This allows the editor to write TypeScript interfaces that match your actual headless API response structures. By using `execute_graphql_query`, the agent pulls live production data to test Cursor components instead of relying on outdated mock JSON files. You get working code built against real, current Hygraph content payloads.

Write Mutations with this MCP Server

This MCP Server exposes `execute_graphql_mutation` so Cursor can write direct schema updates as you build your frontend components. The editor sends the mutation payload directly to Hygraph through the active terminal process. To verify the changes, `list_schema_introspection` runs an immediate check to determine which models your Hygraph project currently hosts. This loop ensures your local Cursor codebase and headless schema stay aligned.

Create and Publish Content from the Editor

The `create_cms_document` tool dispatches validation checks to generate new dynamic content models directly from your Cursor workspace. Cursor uses this to seed test databases or set up mock content blocks during feature development. Once your code changes are ready, `publish_cms_document` triggers the live shift of draft properties. Running this MCP Server allows you to push new Hygraph content types live without switching from your code editor to a web browser.

Setup guide

Set up Hygraph (Headless CMS) MCP in Cursor
