What is the Sitecore MCP Server?
Connect your Sitecore instance to any AI agent and take full control of your enterprise CMS through natural conversation. Execute headless content operations without navigating the complex Sitecore Content Editor.
What you can do
- Item Management — Retrieve, create, update, and delete Sitecore items using their path or unique ID
- Content Search — Search deeply across your content tree using keywords, templates, and dates
- Site navigation — List item children to traverse the content tree hierarchy natively
- Templates & Layouts — List available templates and retrieve presentation/layout details (renderings and placeholders) for specific pages
- Workflows — Check the current workflow state of any item (e.g., Draft, Review, Published)
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Provide your Sitecore Base URL and your Services Client API Key (Item ID)
- Start managing your digital experience platform from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more context-switching between your editor and the Sitecore backend. Your AI agent becomes your CMS copilot.
Who is this for?
- Content Authors — quickly update field values across multiple pages and see their workflow states without opening the Sitecore client
- Marketers — rapid searches to find legacy content items or verify if specific personalized components are in the right layout
- Developers — automate the creation of test items and query complex Sitecore trees while coding your front-end headless applications

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Sitecore becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Sitecore tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent create new pages from specific templates?
Yes. Ask the agent to list your content templates to find the ID of the template you want (e.g., 'Article' or 'Landing Page'). Then, provide the parent path where you want the new items to exist. Your agent will call the Sitecore API to instantly generate the new items based on those schemas without requiring you to open the Content Editor.
How can I bulk update metadata for outdated pages?
First, ask your agent to search for the specific path or keyword to get all related page IDs. Then, command the agent to update each item by passing a JSON with the new fields (like updating SEO descriptions or valid dates). The AI parses your instruction and dynamically executes the updates directly into Sitecore.
Is it possible to check whether an item is published or still in Draft mode?
Absolutely. You can request the agent to get the workflow state of any given item path. The agent will respond with the current state (e.g., Draft, Awaiting Approval, or Published), making it easy to track content pipelines.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
