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 DatoCMS 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

DatoCMS 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 DatoCMS 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. 10 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 DatoCMS, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with DatoCMS. 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 DatoCMS owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical users who want to manage content without constantly switching to a web browser.

  • 01

    Content Editors

    They use the agent to create or update entries and manage media assets.

  • 02

    Front-end Developers

    They use it to test GraphQL queries and check content models directly in their IDE.

  • 03

    Digital Ops

    They use the agent to monitor content versioning and verify record consistency.

FAQ

Questions DatoCMS owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my DatoCMS account?

    You need to provide your DatoCMS Full Access API Token, which you can find in your project settings under API Tokens.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 03

    Can I delete content using this capability?

    Yes, you can use capabilities like wipe_cms_record to permanently remove document rows.

  • 04

    Does this support GraphQL?

    Yes, the execute_graphql_cda capability allows you to run queries against your DatoCMS GraphQL tree.

  • 05

    Is my media management included?

    Yes, you can inspect, retrieve, and delete media uploads using the dedicated media capabilities.

  • 06

    Can my agent execute custom GraphQL queries against DatoCMS?

    Yes. Use the 'execute_graphql_cda' capability. You can provide any valid GraphQL query string to fetch data from the Content Delivery API (CDA) tree, bypassing rigid limits and retrieving exactly what your agent needs.

  • 07

    How do I create a new content item using the agent?

    Use the 'create_cms_record' capability. Provide the Item Type ID and a JSON object containing the attributes. The agent will orchestrate the absolute explicit bindings to generate a new record in your DatoCMS project.

  • 08

    Can I inspect the available content models through chat?

    Absolutely. The 'list_global_models' capability enumerates all registered item types and models. This allows your agent to identify precisely what schemas bind to your editor blocks and which fields are available for data mutations.
