What is the Zesty.io MCP Server?
Connect your Zesty.io account to any AI agent to streamline your headless CMS operations. This MCP server enables your agent to interact with instances, content models, and data entries (items) directly from natural language.
What you can do
- Instance Oversight — List all Zesty.io instances associated with your account and retrieve their metadata
- Schema Management — List content models to understand your data structures and identify Model ZUIDs
- Content Operations — List, retrieve, create, and update content items within specific models
- Technical Auditing — Access instance settings and technical metadata for any of your properties
- Workflow Automation — Delete content items and maintain your CMS hierarchy via natural language commands
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Zesty API Token and Instance ZUID (starting with 8-)
- Start managing your content from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Instance ZUID?
You can list all your accessible instances using the list_zesty_instances tool, or find it in your Zesty.io URL (it starts with 8-).
Can I see all content items for a particular model?
Yes, use the list_content_items tool with the unique ZUID of the model (starts with 6-) to retrieve all associated entries.
Is it possible to update content via the agent?
Absolutely. Use the update_content_item tool by providing the Model ZUID, the Item ZUID, and a JSON object containing the fields you wish to modify.
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.
