Why people use DatoCMS
DatoCMS for faster headless content management
This Connector changes that by letting you just tell your agent what to do. You can say "update the price on all product records" and it uses patch_cms_record to do the work for you. You get the results in seconds without ever opening the dashboard.
What Vinkius changes
You get a direct line to your DatoCMS content without the tab-switching.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about DatoCMS.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can I use the DatoCMS MCP to create new content?
Yes, you can create new records directly through your agent. It handles the JSON:API requirements so your new content follows your project's rules perfectly.
Does the DatoCMS MCP let me delete media files?
Yes, it can remove specific media uploads from your storage. This is great for cleaning up your library or removing old assets.
Can I use this to run GraphQL queries?
Definitely. You can run queries against your content delivery area to see exactly how your data will appear on your site.
How do I manage my content models with this?
You can use the Connector to list all your registered models and item types. It gives you a quick way to see how your content is structured.
Is this Connector safe for updating production records?
Yes, it uses the patch_cms_record capability to update specific fields. This allows for precise changes without affecting the rest of your data.
Can I see my media library's storage IDs?
Yes, the Connector lets you inspect the internal arrays of your uploaded assets. This is helpful for verifying storage identifiers securely.
Can my agent execute custom GraphQL queries against DatoCMS?
Yes. Use the 'execute_graphql_cda' capability. You can provide any valid GraphQL query string to fetch data from the Content Delivery API (CDA) tree, bypassing rigid limits and retrieving exactly what your agent needs.
How do I create a new content item using the agent?
Use the 'create_cms_record' capability. Provide the Item Type ID and a JSON object containing the attributes. The agent will orchestrate the absolute explicit bindings to generate a new record in your DatoCMS project.
Can I inspect the available content models through chat?
Absolutely. The 'list_global_models' capability enumerates all registered item types and models. This allows your agent to identify precisely what schemas bind to your editor blocks and which fields are available for data mutations.
