How to Use the Webiny CMS MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I manage drafts using Webiny CMS with Windsurf?

Use listmodelentries specifying 'manage' for the apitype. This shows all draft entries for a model. After identifying the correct entry ID, you can pass it to updatecmsentry to make your necessary field changes.

Q: Can I run custom queries on Webiny CMS using Windsurf?

Yeah, just call executegraphqlquery. You specify the desired apitype (read, manage, or preview) and provide your raw GraphQL query string. Windsurf handles running that mutation or read request against the live instance.

Q: What data does Webiny CMS expose regarding tenant settings?

The gettenantconfig tool pulls global system variables for the entire content platform. This includes high-level settings like default locales or API access controls, which are crucial for ensuring your multi-step automation runs correctly.

Q: Does Windsurf support viewing specific revisions in Webiny CMS?

Absolutely. You use getmodelentrydetails and provide the unique revision ID. This tool pulls a complete snapshot of that single content model entry, showing exactly what data was stored at that point in time.

Q: If I need to delete an old draft from Webiny CMS, how do I do it with Windsurf?

You use deletecmsentry. Just remember this action is irreversible. The tool requires the specific content model entry ID for deletion. Be sure you're deleting the right revision before hitting run.

Perplexity

Automate Content Drafting Cycles

Need to dump a batch of new article drafts? Use `create_cms_entry` to pass the model name and field data. Windsurf reads your goal—like 'add three articles about Q3 earnings'—and automatically generates the necessary JSON payloads, submitting them all in sequence. It doesn't stop until every entry is created or an error occurs. You just set the objective; Cascade handles the multi-step submission and reports back the full list of new draft IDs.

Full Content Model Auditing with MCP Server

Checking if your content models are structured right? The `get_api_introspection` tool pulls the entire GraphQL schema. Windsurf uses this to validate that any client-side code or subsequent actions you plan actually reference valid fields and types. It's perfect for setting up migration pipelines. You feed it a goal like 'check all data structure assumptions,' and it executes the introspection query first, giving you the reliable blueprint before anything else runs.

Publishing and Updating Content in One Flow

Drafting content is one thing; publishing it live is another. You can't just call `publish_cms_entry`. Windsurf chains this: first, you use `list_model_entries` to find the target draft ID, then you pass that ID into `update_cms_entry` if revisions need tweaking, and finally, it calls `publish_cms_entry`. It manages the entire workflow—draft -> modify -> live status—without manual intervention. You define the content state; Windsurf handles the API transitions.
