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

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns DatoCMS into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from DatoCMS and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

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.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
