How do I connect my Strapi instance to this MCP?

You need to provide your STRAPI_BASE_URL and a STRAPI_API_KEY generated from your Strapi admin panel in your configuration.

Can I upload images using my AI client?

Yes, you can use the upload_media_asset capability to send a public file URL to your Strapi Media Library.

Is it safe to delete entries through the AI?

The delete_entry capability is irreversible. You should only use it when you are certain you want to permanently remove a record.

Which AI clients can use this Strapi MCP?

Any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code, can use this capability.

Can I see my content type schema?

Yes, you can use the list_content_types capability to see all the collections and single types you have defined.

How does the AI know the correct JSON format for new entries?

The agent calls list_content_types first to read each collection's field names and types. It then builds a compliant JSON payload matching the schema before calling create_entry.

Can the agent delete content types or schemas?

No. delete_entry only removes individual data rows within a collection. It cannot alter, drop, or modify content type schemas or structural CMS settings.

Can I upload media files through the integration?

Yes. Use upload_media_asset to add images, videos, or documents to the Strapi Media Library. You can also browse existing assets with list_assets.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

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 Strapi 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

Strapi 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 Strapi 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.

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 Strapi, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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