What is the Builder MCP Server?
Connect your Builder.io space to any AI agent and take full programmatic control over your headless CMS architecture and visual pages through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Content Automation — Create, update, or wipe specific content entries across any data model dynamically
- Schema Navigation — List your active Builder models and analyze exact field definitions and strict JSON bounds
- Search & Retrieval — Use query strings to pull matched content documents or count entities effortlessly
- Media Fetching — Inspect metadata and URLs of uploaded assets living on the Builder platform
- Headless Maintenance — Delete deprecated components or page sections instantly using targeted endpoints
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Builder Public and Private API Key pair
- Start fetching schemas and inserting web blocks from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No need to leave the code editor to see how a model is defined. Read schema structures immediately inside your chat.
Who is this for?
- Frontend Developers — retrieve the strict data schema of a Builder model before configuring your frontend fetch logic
- Content Editors — push 50 translated copies of a landing page section automatically via API automation
- DevOps — wipe orphaned elements or test environment components natively without touching the UI

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI read the strict structure of a custom model before creating a block?
Yes! We highly recommend asking your agent to use get_model_schema first. By retrieving the exact JSON fields (Strings, Lists, Booleans), the AI naturally learns the shape of your Page or HeroContent model and formats its create_visual_block mutation flawlessly avoiding validation errors.
How can I count how many blogs or pages are in my Builder space?
You can use the native count_model_entities tool. By querying a model like blog-post, the agent accesses the Builder backend with limit=1 exclusively to extract the metadata counts without downloading heavyweight content arrays—highly efficient for broad analytics.
Can the agent wipe an accidentally created page completely?
Yes. If an error occurs or a staging draft needs removal, the agent can call wipe_visual_block. Supply the targeted entity ID, and the HTTP DELETE command is irreversibly broadcasted to the Builder environment. Always review IDs manually.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
