microCMS

microCMS is an MCP server that connects Claude and other Model Context Protocol clients directly to the microCMS headless content management system. Content editors, developers, and marketing teams use it to read, create, update, and review structured content stored across multiple microCMS endpoints using standard conversational language. The server interfaces with microCMS content and management APIs, allowing AI models to inspect existing article drafts, generate and publish new entries, upload media assets, and verify multilingual or grammatical accuracy in Japanese and other languages. It supports both single-service and multi-service configurations, enabling users to switch between or coordinate content across multiple projects such as independent blog and e-commerce stores. While it can run locally via standard input/output (stdio) or packaged bundles, it also provides an HTTP transport mode for shared remote deployments and Docker container support. This setup streamlines headless CMS workflows by letting LLM agents manage schema-bound items, query existing listings, and stage updates directly through API endpoints without opening the web console.
