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.

Bulk Field Updates

An author can instruct the agent to update specific fields across multiple items using JSON payloads.

02

Rapid Content Audits

A marketer can quickly check if a set of pages has reached the 'Published' workflow state.

03

Automated Test Data

A developer can have their agent generate a structured tree of test items using specific templates.

04

Layout Verification

A developer can verify which renderings are active on a page without navigating the Sitecore UI.

Automate a task

Put Sitecore 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

Sitecore 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 Sitecore 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. 9 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 Sitecore, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

This MCP is built for professionals managing large scale enterprise content ecosystems.

  • 01

    Content Authors

    They use the agent to update field values and check workflow status without opening the Sitecore client.

  • 02

    Marketers

    They use it to find legacy content or verify that personalized components are in the correct layouts.

  • 03

    Developers

    They use the agent to automate test item creation and query complex trees while building headless apps.

FAQ

Questions Sitecore owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Sitecore instance?

    You need to provide your Sitecore Base URL and your Services Client API Key (the Item ID) within the Vinkius interface to establish the connection.

  • 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 items using the agent?

    Yes, the delete_content_item capability allows you to permanently remove items from the Sitecore tree, but this action is irreversible.

  • 04

    Do I still need to use the Sitecore Content Editor?

    You can perform most standard management tasks like creating, updating, and searching for items through the agent, which reduces the need to use the traditional editor.

  • 05

    Is this compatible with headless Sitecore setups?

    Yes, this MCP is designed to support headless content operations by providing a direct interface to the content tree and templates.

  • 06

    Can my AI agent create new pages from specific templates?

    Yes. Ask the agent to list your content templates to find the ID of the template you want (e.g., 'Article' or 'Landing Page'). Then, provide the parent path where you want the new items to exist. Your agent will call the Sitecore API to instantly generate the new items based on those schemas without requiring you to open the Content Editor.

  • 07

    How can I bulk update metadata for outdated pages?

    First, ask your agent to search for the specific path or keyword to get all related page IDs. Then, command the agent to update each item by passing a JSON with the new fields (like updating SEO descriptions or valid dates). The AI parses your instruction and dynamically executes the updates directly into Sitecore.

  • 08

    Is it possible to check whether an item is published or still in Draft mode?

    Absolutely. You can request the agent to get the workflow state of any given item path. The agent will respond with the current state (e.g., Draft, Awaiting Approval, or Published), making it easy to track content pipelines.
