How to Use the Webiny CMS MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I retrieve the global settings for Webiny CMS using VS Code Copilot?

You call gettenantconfig. This function fetches all the high-level operational settings for your entire Webiny tenant, which is useful when setting up environment variables shared across the team.

Q: Is it possible to list multiple content models using VS Code Copilot?

Yes. Use listmodelentries. You must provide the plural model name (like 'Articles') and specify if you are looking for drafts ('manage') or live published data ('read').

Q: What happens when I use Webiny CMS with VS Code Copilot to update content?

The updatecmsentry tool modifies specific fields of an existing content model entry revision. It accepts the entry ID and a JSON object detailing only the required field changes.

Q: How do I get details for a single piece of content using VS Code Copilot?

Use getmodelentrydetails. Simply provide the revision ID, and the tool pulls all associated data points from that specific version of the content model entry.

Q: What type of data is touched when deleting entries using VS Code Copilot?

The server handles Content Model Entry revisions. The deletecmsentry action permanently removes a specified revision ID, making the deletion irreversible across your Webiny CMS setup.

Perplexity

Creating and Publishing Draft Content

Team members can use `create_cms_entry` to generate new drafts by supplying the model name and field data as JSON. This ensures every developer writes content using the same, structured input. Once review is complete, run `publish_cms_entry`. This takes the revision ID and makes the content available globally via the 'read' API endpoint for the whole team.

Querying Webiny CMS Data Directly

Copilot Chat lets you execute raw GraphQL queries using `execute_graphql_query`. You specify whether it’s a 'manage', 'read', or 'preview' action and the locale. This capability gives the whole team direct API access. Furthermore, if you need to see all available content for a model, use `list_model_entries` with the plural name and desired api_type.

Updating or Deleting Content Revisions

Need to correct field data? Use `update_cms_entry`. Pass the entry ID and a JSON object containing only the fields that need updating. It's precise, minimizing risk across your codebase. If an entry is completely obsolete, run `delete_cms_entry` for permanent removal of that specific content revision.
