Can I navigate the JCR tree structure through my agent?

Yes. Use the `mg.get_delivery_children` tool by providing an endpoint and parent path. Your agent will retrieve exclusively the hierarchical descendants, allowing you to understand the branch nesting and property distribution accurately.

How do I audit the required fields for a specific Magnolia component?

The `mg.get_template_schema` tool parses the YAML definitions of your components. Your agent will list exactly what fields and scalar parameters the template respects, making it easy to verify your content model without opening the code.

Can my agent trigger a content publication command?

Absolutely. Use the `mg.execute_workspace_command` tool and specify 'activate' or 'publish' as the command name. Your agent will dispatch the JSON payload to Magnolia's command system to transition your content across lifecycle states.

About Magnolia (Enterprise Headless CMS) MCP Server

Connect your Magnolia CMS instance to any AI agent and take full control of your enterprise-grade headless content and JCR repository management through natural conversation.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Magnolia (Enterprise Headless CMS) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

Node Orchestration — List, retrieve, and create hierarchical JCR nodes directly from your agent, allowing for precise structural content management
JCR Discovery — Execute complex property-based queries using native JCR logic to identify specific content fragments and textual mappings securely
Template Schema Audit — Extract detailed component and page template definitions to understand which fields and properties a component expects natively
Delivery Layer Management — Navigate through explicitly configured delivery endpoints (e.g., pages, tours) to verify JSON mappings and content boundaries
Workspace Visibility — Discover and list active JCR workspaces (website, dam, configuration) to understand how your project data is distributed
Operational Commands — Trigger automated workspace commands including activation and publishing workflows to move content through its lifecycle
Cloning & Relocation — Copy or move content nodes across your repository while maintaining structural matching and delivery logic integrity

Magnolia (Enterprise Headless CMS) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Magnolia (Enterprise Headless CMS) MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
