How to manage media assets with your AI agent

Connect Hygraph to your agent to turn your headless CMS into a searchable source for your development workflow.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I use AI to handle my Hygraph media?

Your agent uses the Hygraph MCP to scan your media library and grab specific file URLs. You can then ask your agent to find assets by name or type to get the links you need for your code. This setup gives you a direct line from your chat interface to your CMS assets.

Where your assets land

What you get from your agent

The AI handles the heavy lifting of searching and fetching, leaving you to focus on the implementation.

ASSET DISCOVERY

Find specific files

The agent scans your Hygraph library to find images, videos, or documents. You get a clean list of what's available without manual browsing.

URL RETRIEVAL

Get direct links

Instead of clicking through a dashboard, your agent pulls the exact file URLs. You can grab these links and drop them straight into your frontend.

CODE INTEGRATION

Feed your frontend

Use the retrieved URLs to populate your components. Your agent acts as the bridge between your CMS storage and your code editor.

HUMAN REVIEW

Verify asset selection

The AI presents the list of assets it found. You decide which specific file is the right one for your project before using the link.

    The agent uses the list_media_assets tool to scan your library and then matches your text descriptions against the file metadata.
