Sitecore MCP server

Sitecore MCP server is an MCP server that provides AI assistants with direct read and write access to Sitecore content management systems. Built for developers, technical architects, and content engineers working with Sitecore XM, Sitecore XP, and SitecoreAI, it removes the need to manually copy and paste details between LLM clients and the Content Editor interface. The server connects across four distinct Sitecore API surfaces: the Authoring and Management GraphQL API, the Item Service REST API, GraphQL Edge, and Sitecore PowerShell Extensions (SPE) Remoting. By exposing 121 specialized tools, it enables agents to search items, inspect and scaffold templates, handle presentation layout assignments with placeholder validation, manage media assets, query indices, publish items, and execute PowerShell scripts. It also provides embedded procedural guides that agents can consult during complex workflows like page composition, bulk updates, and connection troubleshooting. Credentials and endpoints stay within local or private infrastructure, running locally via npx, Docker containers, or source code.
