DatoCMS MCP Server

Connect DatoCMS to your AI agents with the DatoCMS MCP server.

Updated

What is DatoCMS MCP?

The DatoCMS MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects DatoCMS to AI agents and assistants as a set of tools. With it connected, an agent can work with DatoCMS (headless cms — records, models, fields, uploads, environments) directly — instead of you copying data in and out by hand.

It is a remote MCP server that uses OAuth, so you point your client at the server URL, authorize once, and the DatoCMS tools become available to the model.
