Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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

FAQ

Questions Payload CMS owners ask.

  • 01

    Does this work with both MongoDB and Postgres implementations of Payload?

    Yes. The API agent interacts securely via Payload's standard abstracted REST endpoints. It remains explicitly agnostic of the underlying physical persistence arrays (Mongo/Postgres), resolving logically normalized JSON payloads.

  • 02

    Can I query deeply nested values explicitly utilizing where limits?

    Absolutely. The search_collection_where capability leverages Payload's native query parser strings. You can send explicit nested filters like title[equals]=Hello limiting extraction loops flawlessly.

  • 03

    What format do I need to send to patch or create a new CMS item?

    To command dynamic creations, pass the explicit stringified JSON properties directly mapping your specific Collection's local fields setup. The node forwards this strict data limit logically causing a DB insert over Payload endpoints.
