How to Use the Hygraph (Headless CMS) MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How does my team share the Hygraph (Headless CMS) config in VS Code Copilot?

You commit a .vscode/mcp.json file to your shared git repository. This allows every developer on the team to use the same schema tools instantly.

Q: Can we publish draft models from VS Code Copilot to Hygraph (Headless CMS)?

Yes, developers can run publishcmsdocument directly through the Copilot chat. This triggers a live shift of your draft properties to the production environment.

Q: How does this MCP Server handle nested GraphQL queries?

The executegraphqlquery tool processes your raw GraphQL strings directly against the headless endpoint. VS Code Copilot displays the returned JSON structure in your active panel.

Q: Can we wipe test content during local development?

You can execute wipecmsdocument to irreversibly clear test content arrays. This is useful for resetting your development environment before running fresh migrations.

Share your CMS schema across your engineering team in VS Code Copilot with a committed config.

Introspect Schemas in VS Code Copilot

The `list_schema_introspection` tool automatically determines which models your Hygraph project hosts and delivers the structure to VS Code Copilot. This gives your entire engineering team access to the active backend schema right from the chat panel. If team members need to drill down into specific structures, `get_model_fields` inspects internal arrays to retrieve exact Hygraph configurations. This prevents schema drift across different developer environments in VS Code Copilot.

Execute Queries via this MCP Server

This MCP Server lets your team use `execute_graphql_query` to run direct queries against your headless Hygraph project inside VS Code Copilot. Developers can test queries in the chat window before committing them to the codebase. For writing operations, `execute_graphql_mutation` provisions direct schema writes to update your remote Hygraph structure. Copilot handles the payload delivery securely using your team's shared configuration.

Automate Content and Media Validation

The `create_cms_document` tool dispatches automated validation checks to route new model creation inside VS Code Copilot. This helps your team build automated scripts that generate test Hygraph content during CI/CD runs. To keep track of storage, `list_media_assets` enumerates the structured rules defining your media limits. The MCP Server helps Copilot use this data to alert developers if a Hygraph asset upload pattern violates your backend rules.
