Agility CMS MCP Server

The official MCP server for Agility CMS: a hosted, remote server that gives your AI tools real-time access to the content, models, pages and media in the Agility instances you already have access to — through conversation, not APIs.

There is nothing to install. Point your client at https://mcp.agilitycms.com/api/mcp, sign in with your Agility account, and your assistant can work with the instances you already have access to.

• Endpoint: https://mcp.agilitycms.com/api/mcp (streamable HTTP)
• Auth: OAuth 2.0 against your Agility organization — your Agility permissions are the authority
• Tools: 32, covering content, models, components, containers, pages, sitemaps and media
• Setup guide with screenshots: mcp.agilitycms.com/instructions
• Live tool catalog: mcp.agilitycms.com/tools

Connect your client

One click

Every supported client

Full walkthroughs with screenshots are at mcp.agilitycms.com/instructions. To wire anything up by hand, the only value you need is the endpoint. Details per client follow.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http "Agility-CMS" https://mcp.agilitycms.com/api/mcp

Claude (desktop & web)

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, then paste the endpoint:

https://mcp.agilitycms.com/api/mcp

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Command Palette → MCP: Add Server → HTTP, then paste the endpoint. Or add to your MCP config:

{
  "servers": {
    "agility-cms": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.agilitycms.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server → type HTTP, URL as above. Or in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agility-cms": {
      "url": "https://mcp.agilitycms.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

LM Studio

Use the one-click badge above, or add the endpoint under Program → Install → Edit mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agility-cms": {
      "url": "https://mcp.agilitycms.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Settings → Cascade → MCP servers → add a server with the endpoint above.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http agility-cms https://mcp.agilitycms.com/api/mcp

Or in ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agility-cms": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.agilitycms.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT

Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode, then add a connector with the endpoint above.

Anything else

Any client that speaks streamable HTTP works. Give it the endpoint and let it run the OAuth flow — there is no API key to paste and nothing to keep in a config file.

If a client only supports local (stdio) servers, bridge to it with mcp-remote:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agility-cms": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.agilitycms.com/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

That bridge is a general-purpose client-side shim, not an Agility package. There is no agility-mcp-server npm package and there won't be one — a hosted HTTP server has nothing to install, so if you find a config telling you to npx something Agility-named, it's wrong.

What you can ask for

Once it's connected, talk to your assistant about your content — it will pick the tools. Most tools take an instanceGuid (which Agility instance) and, for content, a locale; ask it to list your instances first and it will use the right one from then on.

• "List the Agility instances I can access, then show me the content models in the marketing site."
• "Add a Subtitle text field to the Blog Post model, under the existing SEO tab."
• "Build a Team Member model — name, photo, bio, and a link to their posts — and a container for it."
• "Create a blog post in en-us from this outline and give me the editor link."
• "Which pages in the main channel are still unpublished?"
• "Publish the three posts I just created."

Data and security

Authentication is OAuth 2.0 against your Agility organization, over HTTPS. There is no API key to paste and nothing to keep in a config file — tokens are held by your MCP client, not by this repo's configuration or any file you edit.

Your Agility permissions are the ceiling. Every call runs as you: the Management API refuses anything you personally can't do, so the server cannot exceed the access you already have. It follows that the practical way to limit what an assistant can reach is to sign in as an Agility user that only has the access you're willing to give it.

Destructive actions are marked and prompted. The delete_*, unpublish_content and unpublish_page tools carry destructiveHint: true, so interactive clients ask before running them. Non-interactive clients don't prompt at all — they require each write tool to be allow-listed instead.

Treat content as untrusted input. This is structural to MCP, not specific to Agility: an assistant reads content items, page text and field descriptions, and any of that can contain text that reads like an instruction (prompt injection). A client that acts on it does so with your permissions. Use clients you trust, leave confirmation prompts on for destructive tools, and don't hand a broadly-privileged Agility account to an unattended agent.

What gets logged. The hosted server records operational telemetry to Agility's Application Insights: the tool or API method called, duration, success or failure, the Agility instance GUID and your Agility user ID. Request and response payloads are recorded in truncated form for debugging (capped, 2 KB by default), so small content values can appear in those logs. There is no client-side opt-out on the hosted server; self-host without APP_INSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING to collect nothing.
