Contentful MCP Server 🔌 MCP server Freemium

What it is

The Contentful MCP Server is Contentful's official, open-source Model Context Protocol server. It runs locally with Node.js and uses the Content Management API, so an agent can model content, write entries, upload assets and publish in a Contentful space.

Key features

• Create, update, publish, delete and search entries
• Upload assets, edit metadata and publish or unpublish them
• Create and change content types
• Work with environments, locales, releases and tags
• Trigger Contentful AI Actions
• PROTECTED_ENVIRONMENTS setting blocks writes to chosen environments

How to install

Run npx -y @contentful/mcp-server with CONTENTFUL_MANAGEMENT_ACCESS_TOKEN and SPACE_ID set (optional ENVIRONMENT_ID, default master). The README has config examples for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex and VS Code, and a one-click Cursor install. No hosted version is documented.

Pricing and rights

The server is free and MIT-licensed. Contentful has a free plan with limits; paid plan prices were not verified for this listing. A management token gives broad write access, so scope it and use protected environments.

Who it is for

Content and engineering teams on Contentful who want agents to draft entries, translate locales or bulk-edit content. It is also useful for localisation work, since locales and environments are exposed as tools, and for one-off content migrations between content types. It is maintained in Contentful's own GitHub organisation.

Verdict

Official and thorough on the Management API, with a useful guard for protected environments. It is local only and the community is small, so expect to handle tokens and setup yourself.
