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 Sanity 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

Sanity 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 Sanity 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. 11 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 Sanity, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

Content professionals and developers who want to manage structured data without leaving their primary workspace.

  • 01

    Content Teams

    They hand off repetitive tasks like updating post statuses or searching for specific assets to the agent.

  • 02

    Developers

    They use the agent to run GROQ queries and manage project schemas through natural language.

  • 03

    Editors

    They delegate document searches and media library management to the agent.

FAQ

Questions Sanity owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Sanity project to an AI client?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and provide your Project ID, Dataset name, and API Token. Once connected, you can use it in any MCP-compatible client like Claude or Cursor.

  • 02

    Can I run GROQ queries through this MCP?

    Yes, you can use the query_documents capability to run any valid GROQ query against your dataset.

  • 03

    Is it possible to create new datasets?

    Yes, the create_dataset capability allows you to spin up new, empty datasets for development or staging.

  • 04

    Can I manage my media assets with the agent?

    Yes, the list_image_assets capability lets you browse and view metadata for the images in your Sanity media library.

  • 05

    Does this MCP support my existing Sanity schema?

    Yes, the create and update capabilities respect your defined schema when you provide the necessary JSON fields.

  • 06

    How do I get a Sanity API token?

    Log in to manage.sanity.io, select your project, go to API tab, and click Generate API token. Choose read/write permissions and copy the token immediately.

  • 07

    What is GROQ?

    GROQ (Graph-Relational Object Queries) is Sanity's query language for fetching and transforming content. It's similar to GraphQL but designed specifically for document-based content. Use the query_documents capability to run custom GROQ queries.

  • 08

    Can I create new content types?

    Yes! Use create_document with any _type value (e.g. "post", "product", "author"). The document will be created with that type. Schema validation is handled by your Sanity Studio configuration, not the API.

  • 09

    Can I search for documents by keyword?

    Yes! Use search_documents with a search term. It will search across all document fields. Optionally filter by specific document types and set a result limit. For more complex searches, use query_documents with custom GROQ.
