Before you connect

Questions about Directus.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

How does the Directus MCP help my content team?

It lets your team manage content using natural language. Instead of clicking through a complex dashboard, they can ask your agent to create, update, or search for items, which speeds up your publishing workflow.

Can I use Directus MCP to create new items?

Yes, you can ask your agent to create new records in any collection. You can even provide a list of data, and the agent will handle the individual creation steps for you.

Does Directus MCP support searching?

Yes, your agent can search through your collections using keywords. This makes it much faster to find specific content without having to know the exact ID or filter settings.

How do I connect Directus MCP to my agent?

You just need your Directus Static Token from your user profile in the Data Studio. Once you provide that to the Connector, your agent can start interacting with your data.

Can it manage my users?

Yes, it can list all users and show their roles. This is great for quickly checking who has access to what without digging into the admin settings.

Is it safe for my database?

The Connector respects your existing Directus permissions. Your agent can only perform the actions that your specific Static Token is authorized to do.

Can I create, update, and delete content items in any collection?

Yes! Use create_item with a collection name and JSON payload to add new items. Use update_item with the collection, item ID, and updated fields to modify existing items. Use delete_item to remove items. All operations respect the permissions assigned to your Static Token's user role.

How does Directus authentication work with a Static Token?

Directus uses a non-expiring Static Token associated with a specific user account. Generate it from your User Profile in the Data Studio. The token is sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Its permissions match the role assigned to that user. use an admin role for full access or a restricted role for read-only operations.

Can I audit what changes have been made to my database?

Yes. The list_activity capability retrieves the audit log of recent database operations, showing who made changes, which collections were affected, timestamps, and the type of operation (create, update, delete). Combine with list_users and list_roles for full accountability tracking.
