How do I get a Sanity API token?

Log in to [**manage.sanity.io**](https://manage.sanity.io), select your project, go to **API** tab, and click **Generate API token**. Choose read/write permissions and copy the token immediately.

GROQ (Graph-Relational Object Queries) is Sanity's query language for fetching and transforming content. It's similar to GraphQL but designed specifically for document-based content. Use the `query_documents` tool to run custom GROQ queries.

Can I create new content types?

Yes! Use `create_document` with any _type value (e.g. "post", "product", "author"). The document will be created with that type. Schema validation is handled by your Sanity Studio configuration, not the API.

Can I search for documents by keyword?

Yes! Use `search_documents` with a search term. It will search across all document fields. Optionally filter by specific document types and set a result limit. For more complex searches, use `query_documents` with custom GROQ.

Sanity Alternative + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Sanity Alternative MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Sanity Alternative tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
