Manage Records with the MCP Server

Use `create_cms_entity` to build new content elements or records in your TYPO3 Extbase. You can also use `update_cms_entity` when you need to change fields on an existing record, specifying the entity name and record ID. Need to clean up old data? Just call `delete_cms_entity`. Remember, that action is permanent, so double-check what you're deleting.

Get Site Structure and Content

Want to see the site map? Run `get_navigation_tree` to pull the full hierarchy starting from any page. If you just need details on a specific page, use `get_rendered_page`, giving it either an ID or the canonical path. For deeper context, you can call `list_backend_records` by supplying an entity name and optional query filters.

Verify CMS Connectivity via Claude Desktop

Before writing complex scripts, confirm the connection. Run `ping_rest_api` to verify that your agent can talk to the TYPO3 REST API. Alternatively, you can check global settings using `list_typoscript_globals`. This shows all constant values and TypoScript configurations set up for your site.
