What is the Sanity Alternative MCP Server?
Connect your Sanity project to any AI agent and take full control of your content through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Content Queries — List, search and retrieve documents by type or run custom GROQ queries
- Content Management — Create, update and delete documents with full schema support
- Dataset Management — List existing datasets and create new ones for staging/development
- Asset Management — Browse image assets and manage media library content
- Team Management — List project members and audit access permissions
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Sanity Project ID, Dataset name and API Token
- Start managing your content from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more navigating the Sanity Studio to find documents or run GROQ queries. Your AI acts as a dedicated content operations assistant.
Who is this for?
- Content Teams — quickly create and update content, search for specific documents and browse content collections
- Developers — run GROQ queries, manage schemas programmatically and audit project access
- Editors — search for content by keyword, review document details and manage media assets
Built-in capabilities (11)
Provide the dataset name (e.g. "staging", "development"). The dataset will be empty and ready for content. Dataset names must be lowercase alphanumeric. Create a new Sanity dataset
Requires a JSON object with _type and content fields. For example: {"_type": "post", "title": "Hello", "body": "World"}. Returns the created document with its generated ID. Create a new Sanity document
Provide the document ID. WARNING: this action is irreversible. Delete a Sanity document
g. "drafts.abc123" or "abc123"). Returns the full document with all fields. Useful for inspecting individual content items. Get a specific Sanity document by ID
Datasets are isolated content collections within a project (e.g. "production", "staging", "development"). List all datasets in the Sanity project

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Sanity API token?
Log in to manage.sanity.io, select your project, go to API tab, and click Generate API token. Choose read/write permissions and copy the token immediately.
What is GROQ?
GROQ (Graph-Relational Object Queries) is Sanity's query language for fetching and transforming content. It's similar to GraphQL but designed specifically for document-based content. Use the query_documents tool to run custom GROQ queries.
Can I create new content types?
Yes! Use create_document with any _type value (e.g. "post", "product", "author"). The document will be created with that type. Schema validation is handled by your Sanity Studio configuration, not the API.
Can I search for documents by keyword?
Yes! Use search_documents with a search term. It will search across all document fields. Optionally filter by specific document types and set a result limit. For more complex searches, use query_documents with custom GROQ.
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.
