Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Cockpit CMS to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Cockpit CMS works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Cockpit CMS to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 17 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Cockpit CMS, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Cockpit CMS. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Cockpit CMS owners hand off.

This MCP is built for anyone managing headless content who wants to bypass the standard CMS dashboard.

  • 01

    Content Managers

    Update blog posts, product details, or FAQs without logging into the Cockpit UI.

  • 02

    Developers

    Query content structures and asset metadata directly from an IDE like Cursor or VS Code.

  • 03

    Marketing Teams

    Retrieve localized content and assets for campaigns using natural language.

FAQ

Questions Cockpit CMS owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Cockpit instance?

    You just need to provide your Cockpit Instance URL and your API Key after subscribing to the MCP on Vinkius.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    It works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 03

    Can I update existing content or only create new items?

    You can do both. The create_or_update_content_item capability will update an existing item if you provide its ID.

  • 04

    Does this support image resizing?

    Yes, the get_asset_image capability allows your agent to generate thumbnails or resized versions of your assets.

  • 05

    Is my data hosted by Vinkius?

    Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages the connection, but the content remains in your self-hosted Cockpit instance.

  • 06

    Can I filter content items using Mongo-style queries?

    Yes! The list_content_items capability supports a filter parameter where you can pass a JSON object with Mongo-style query operators to precisely target your data.

  • 07

    Is it possible to resize images directly through the agent?

    Absolutely. Use the get_asset_image capability with parameters like w (width), h (height), and m (mode) to request processed versions of your stored image assets.

  • 08

    Can I fetch data from multiple collections at once?

    Yes, the batch_content_items capability allows you to define multiple models and their respective query parameters in a single JSON object to retrieve all required data in one go.
