Perplexity

Search assets across the entire Acquia DAM using your AI client.

Need to find a specific image or asset? Your agent runs `search_widen_assets` and returns live results from Widen (Acquia DAM). You can narrow down searches by keyword, making it fast enough for a PM who needs quick data without opening the web UI. It's not just simple searching. The MCP Server lets you run queries against internal search syntax, so your AI client pulls exactly what you need right into the chat window.

Manage asset metadata directly from Claude Desktop.

Found an asset that needs a better description or updated keywords? Use `update_asset_metadata` to change fields like titles and descriptions for any given ID. You just provide the ID and the JSON payload, and your agent handles the update. This is perfect for batch work. Instead of logging into the DAM UI repeatedly, you tell your AI client what changes to make, and it sends the structured updates through the MCP Server.

Map out asset structure using Widen (Acquia DAM) data.

Want a full map of where all the content lives? The server lets you list `list_global_categories` to see every top-level folder in the system. You can then drill down, calling tools like `get_category_contents` for specific nodes. It's great for auditing or planning a migration. You ask your AI client for all categories, and it gives you the full hierarchy list instantly.
