What is the GatherContent MCP Server?
Connect your GatherContent (by Bynder) account to any AI agent to automate your structured content operations and editorial workflows through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). GatherContent is a content operations platform that helps teams organize and produce structured content at scale. This MCP server enables you to manage your content projects, retrieve item data, and track workflow statuses directly through natural conversation.
Key Features
- Project Orchestration — List all content projects and fetch detailed configuration metadata for each environment.
- Content Oversight — Access and retrieve structured data from your content items (pages, articles), including field-level metadata.
- Workflow Automation — Monitor and list the workflow statuses (e.g., Draft, Review, Published) configured for your projects.
- Item Management — Programmatically create new content items or update existing ones to keep your production pipeline moving.
- Template Discovery — Access available content templates and fetch field schemas to ensure consistent data entry.
- Folder Navigation — List project folders to understand your content hierarchy and organization.
- User Identity — Fetch profile information for the authenticated API identity to verify access levels.
- Real-time Synchronization — Keep your structured content strategy accessible to your AI assistant without leaving your primary workspace.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get an API Key for GatherContent?
Log in to your GatherContent account, click on your profile avatar, navigate to Personal Settings > API, and you can generate a new API Key there.
What email should I use for authentication?
You must use the exact email address associated with your GatherContent user account. This email is used as the username for Basic Authentication.
Can I see the structured fields of a content item?
Yes! The 'get_item_content' tool retrieves the full metadata and content for any item, including the specific data values stored in each defined field.
How do I find my Project ID?
You can use the 'list_content_projects' tool to see all your active projects and their corresponding IDs, or look at the URL when you are viewing a project in your browser.
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.
