What is the DatoCMS MCP Server?
Connect your DatoCMS project to any AI agent and take full control of your headless CMS and digital experience platform through natural conversation.
What you can do
- GraphQL Discovery — Identify bounded routing spaces inside the DatoCMS GraphQL tree and extract delivery arrays targeting specific schemas
- Record Orchestration — List, retrieve, and create CMS records natively, enforcing JSON:API specifications and item_type validation rules
- Content Mutation — Safely update existing records by patching attribute blocks or irreversibly vaporize document nodes to clear internal database limits
- Media Oversight — Inspect deep internal arrays of uploaded assets, track Imgix proxy mappings, and verify physical storage identifiers securely
- Schema Auditing — Enumerate explicitly registered models and item types defining the structure of your content blocks and editor environments
- CDA/CMA Integration — Seamlessly switch between Content Delivery (CDA) for high-performance reading and Content Management (CMA) for structural edits
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your DatoCMS Full Access API Token (found in Settings > API Tokens)
- Start managing your headless content from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Content Editors — create and update entries or manage media assets without leaving the workspace
- Front-end Developers — test GraphQL queries and fetch content model definitions directly from the IDE or chat
- Product Teams — monitor content versioning and audit media libraries across different environments
- Digital Ops — manage CMS models and verify record consistency through natural language

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent execute custom GraphQL queries against DatoCMS?
Yes. Use the 'execute_graphql_cda' tool. You can provide any valid GraphQL query string to fetch data from the Content Delivery API (CDA) tree, bypassing rigid limits and retrieving exactly what your agent needs.
How do I create a new content item using the agent?
Use the 'create_cms_record' tool. Provide the Item Type ID and a JSON object containing the attributes. The agent will orchestrate the absolute explicit bindings to generate a new record in your DatoCMS project.
Can I inspect the available content models through chat?
Absolutely. The 'list_global_models' tool enumerates all registered item types and models. This allows your agent to identify precisely what schemas bind to your editor blocks and which fields are available for data mutations.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
