Check Content Model Schemas

Team members can run `list_content_models` to see all available Zesty.io content types directly in the chat panel. This keeps everyone on the same page regarding data structure requirements. This knowledge is key when writing code that needs to validate or generate new records.

Fetch and Modify Content Data

The `get_content_item` tool pulls specific, live content records for review. Similarly, running `create_content_item` allows the team to programmatically spin up test data. When a record needs fixing, `update_content_item` ensures changes are applied correctly across the board.

Handle Zesty.io Instance Management

The MCP Server includes tools for knowing your account layout. Use `list_zesty_instances` to list all associated accounts, and `get_instance_settings` for detailed configuration checks. This prevents developers from accidentally pointing code at the wrong development environment.

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
