What is the Contentstack MCP Server?
Empower your conversational AI with secure and instant read access to your Contentstack headless CMS. Utilizing the Contentstack Delivery API, your agent can efficiently fetch published entries, retrieve asset URLs, and audit content type schema structures in real-time.
What you can do
- Entry Retrieval — Instruct the agent to query and read live content entries by searching for specific title tags or matching query filters.
- Asset Discovery — Request exact URLs from the media library to find specific images, PDFs, or files needed in your conversational context.
- Schema Inspections — Ask for a detailed structural breakdown of any Content Type before utilizing it in an external application.
How it works
- Enable the MCP integration linked to your workspace.
- Secure the connection using a read-only Delivery Token, your Stack API Key, and the targeted Environment Name.
- Chat seamlessly via natural text to retrieve whatever validated content exists within the targeted publishing environment.
Who is this for?
- Developers — Check live payload structures instantly without leaving your ideation environment to verify frontend rendering code.
- Content Managers — Audit what content variants are currently available in the 'production' or 'staging' environments quickly.
- Marketing Integrators — Read copy text snippets and locate public URLs of campaign assets efficiently for cross-platform distribution.

Frequently asked questions
How do I correctly generate a Contentstack Delivery Token?
Log into your core Contentstack account dashboard securely. Access the specific Stack you wish to query and navigate toward the technical 'Settings' header before clicking on 'Tokens'. Within this specific submenu, specifically select 'Delivery Tokens'. Generate a new one with an identifying name, assigning it distinctly to your intended 'Environment'. Note down the produced Token safely to input along with the matching Stack API key below.
Can the agent update entries or publish content directly to the CMS?
No. The integration exclusively relies upon Contentstack's globally distributed 'Delivery API' rather than their 'Management API', deliberately restricting operations to a secure read-only modality focused on retrieving already published entries, preventing accidental automated or unauthorized payload mutations from impacting live production data stores.
Do I need to type the exact environment name as it appears in Contentstack?
Yes, accuracy is strictly required. Providing the exact environment name (e.g., 'production' or 'staging') matching the internal naming correctly ensures the endpoint filters accurately out published iterations of records belonging only to those targeted distribution layers you are aiming specifically at querying reliably during chat prompts.
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.
