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

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Hygraph (Headless CMS) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Hygraph (Headless CMS) 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 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.
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.
