Managing content just got a whole lot smarter. We're excited to announce the Cosmic MCP Server, a powerful new way to interact with your Cosmic CMS directly through AI assistants like Claude and Cursor.

What Is the Cosmic MCP Server?

The Cosmic MCP Server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to expose your entire Cosmic CMS as tools for AI assistants. This means you can manage objects, upload media, modify schemas, and even generate AI content using natural language commands.

Instead of switching between your code editor and the Cosmic dashboard, simply tell your AI assistant what you need. It handles the rest.

Get Started in Seconds

Installing the MCP server takes just one command:


Configure it with your Cosmic credentials, and your AI assistant gains direct access to your content bucket.

17 Powerful Tools at Your Fingertips

Once configured, your AI assistant can perform a wide range of content operations:

Objects Management

Your assistant can list, create, read, update, and delete content objects. Need to publish that draft blog post? Just ask.

Media Management

Upload images from URLs, browse your media library, and organize files into folders. All through natural conversation.

Schema Management

Create and modify object types, define fields, and structure your content model without leaving your editor.

AI Generation

Leverage Cosmic's built-in AI capabilities to generate text, images, and video content directly through your assistant.

Natural Language Content Management

Here's what working with the MCP server looks like:

Content Operations

  • "List all blog posts in my Cosmic bucket"
  • "Create a new product with the name 'Wireless Headphones' and price $99"
  • "Update the homepage banner to say 'Summer Sale'"

Media Operations

  • "Show me all images in the blog-images folder"
  • "Upload this image URL to my media library"

Schema Operations

  • "Create a new object type called Events with fields for title, date, and location"
  • "Add a featured image field to the Products type"

AI Generation

  • "Generate a product description for noise-canceling headphones"
  • "Create an image of a mountain landscape and upload it to media"
