What is the Hygraph (Headless CMS) MCP Server?
Connect your Hygraph project to any AI agent and take full control of your federated content and headless CMS architecture through natural conversation.
What you can do
- GraphQL Orchestration — Execute complex nested queries and mutations directly from your agent to fetch or update structured content without manual REST endpoints
- Schema Introspection — Discover content models and list available fields to understand your project's data structure and scalar parameters automatically
- Document Lifecycle — Create, update, and publish CMS documents, moving content from Draft to Published stages with precise ID targeting
- Media Management — Enumerate media assets and retrieve secure handles and cloud URLs required for frontend delivery and display
- Localization Audit — List project locales and translation spaces to identify which content stages are mapped to specific internationalization rules
- Cleanup Operations — Irreversibly delete specific content nodes and documents to maintain a clean and optimized content repository
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Hygraph API Endpoint and Auth Token
3. Start managing your content architecture from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Frontend Developers — test GraphQL queries and introspect content models without leaving your IDE or opening the Hygraph Playground
- Content Architects — audit schema definitions and verify field configurations across multiple content models through natural conversation
- Digital Editors — create and publish draft content quickly by commanding your AI agent to update specific document fields

Frequently asked questions
Can I test complex GraphQL queries through my agent?
Yes. Use the execute_graphql_query tool to run any valid GraphQL query block. Your agent will return the nested document results, making it an ideal way to verify content fetching without using the Hygraph Playground.
How do I publish a draft document using my agent?
The publish_cms_document tool allows your agent to shift a document's stage from DRAFT to PUBLISHED. You just need to provide the Model Name and the Target UUID to make the content live on your frontend.
Can I see all available fields for a specific content model?
Absolutely. Use the get_model_fields tool with the name of your Model (e.g., 'Post' or 'Product'). Your agent will perform a schema introspection and list all fields, types, and scalar parameters defined in that model.
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.
