@cmssy/mcp-server

MCP server for Cmssy CMS — enables AI-driven page creation and management with i18n support.

Setup

Prerequisites

1. Your Cmssy backend API URL (e.g. https://api.your-cmssy.com)
2. An API token (create in Dashboard > API Tokens, starts with cs_)
3. Your workspace ID

Add to Claude Code

Add to .mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cmssy": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@cmssy/mcp-server",
        "--token",
        "cs_YOUR_TOKEN",
        "--workspace-id",
        "YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID",
        "--api-url",
        "https://api.your-cmssy.com"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

Instead of CLI args, you can set:

• CMSSY_API_TOKEN — API token (cs_xxx)
• CMSSY_WORKSPACE_ID — Workspace ID
• CMSSY_API_URL — API URL (required, e.g. https://api.your-cmssy.com)

Response shape (write tools)

As of 0.6.0, most write tools accept an optional response arg:

• response: "minimal" (default) - returns a small ack (~200 bytes): {id, slug, hasUnpublishedChanges, updatedAt} for page tools, {pageId, blockId, hasUnpublishedChanges, updatedAt} for block tools, {id, slug, status, updatedAt} for form tools, {id, slug, updatedAt} for model tools, {id, status, updatedAt} for record tools, {id, orderNumber, status, paymentStatus, fulfillmentStatus, total, balanceDue, currency, updatedAt} for order tools, {id, code, type, value, enabled, updatedAt} for discount tools.
• response: "full" - returns the full mutation response (pre-0.6 behavior).

Use "full" only if you need the post-write state inline; otherwise issue a follow-up get_page/get_form/get_model/get_record. This keeps agent context windows from being eaten by echoed content.

Tools that accept response: create_page, update_page_blocks, update_page_settings, publish_page, unpublish_page, revert_to_published, update_page_layout, add_block_to_page, update_block_content, remove_block_from_page, create_form, update_form, create_model, update_model, create_record, update_record, create_manual_order, edit_order, update_order_details, mark_order_paid, record_order_payment, refund_order, cancel_order, transition_order_fulfillment, set_order_pipeline_stage, record_order_invoice, create_discount, update_discount, set_discount_enabled.

patch_block_content and the various delete_* / status-only tools (update_form_submission_status, import_records) already returned a compact ack and don't take response.

Available Tools

Read Tools

Write Tools

Block Helper Tools

update_region_settings

Region (layout position) settings are declared by the workspace's layout manifest and validated against it on write. The tool reads the page's current layoutRegionSettings, replaces only the named region and writes the whole list back, so sibling regions keep their values (entries for regions the manifest no longer declares, and keys a region's schema no longer has, are dropped on the way - the same pruning the admin editor does). The backend's own BAD_USER_INPUT message is returned verbatim for an unknown region, an unknown key, or a non-empty values on a region that declares no settings (such a region accepts values: {} only); blockWarnings are surfaced when present.

{ "pageId": "...", "region": "sidebar", "values": { "width": "wide" } }

Child pages inherit a region's settings unless they set their own - get_page shows the effective value per region in resolvedRegions (settingsAreInherited, settingsSourcePageId).

patch_block_content

For small edits on long HTML content strings (e.g. a docs-article body), patch_block_content is ~10x cheaper in tokens than update_block_content and catches marker mistakes before anything writes to the DB.

{
  "pageId": "...",
  "blockId": "...",
  "locale": "en",
  "operations": [
    {
      "op": "insert_before",
      "marker": "<h2>Environment Variables</h2>",
      "html": "<hr><h2>cmssy skills install</h2><p>...</p>",
    },
  ],
}

Three ops: insert_before, insert_after, replace_section. Every marker must match exactly once - 0 or 2+ matches error out with the actual count (no silent half-applied state). For replace_section, startMarker is inclusive and endMarker is exclusive.

Requires @cmssy/cli-registered workspace with PAGES_EDIT permission. Default fieldPath is "content" (the HTML body on docs-article); override if patching a different string field.

Model Tools (Custom Data Models)

AI agents can define ModelDefinitions and CRUD their records. Schema/fields follow PropertyField from @cmssy/types; records are validated against the model on every write.

Requires workspace permissions MODELS_VIEW (read) / MODELS_CREATE / MODELS_EDIT / MODELS_DELETE depending on the operation.

Commerce Tools (Orders, Carts, Discounts)

Manage the storefront's orders, carts, and discount codes. All money fields are integer minor units (cents). Order/discount write tools accept the response arg (see Response shape).
