@cmssy/mcp-server

MCP server for Cmssy CMS — enables AI-driven page creation and management with i18n support.

Setup

Prerequisites

1. Your Cmssy backend API URL (e.g. https://api.your-cmssy.com)
2. An API token (create in Dashboard > API Tokens, starts with cs_)
3. Your workspace ID

Add to Claude Code

Add to .mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cmssy": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@cmssy/mcp-server",
        "--token",
        "cs_YOUR_TOKEN",
        "--workspace-id",
        "YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID",
        "--api-url",
        "https://api.your-cmssy.com"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

Instead of CLI args, you can set:

• CMSSY_API_TOKEN — API token (cs_xxx)
• CMSSY_WORKSPACE_ID — Workspace ID
• CMSSY_API_URL — API URL (required, e.g. https://api.your-cmssy.com)

Response shape (write tools)

As of 0.6.0, most write tools accept an optional response arg:

• response: "minimal" (default) - returns a small ack (~200 bytes): {id, slug, hasUnpublishedChanges, updatedAt} for page tools, {pageId, blockId, hasUnpublishedChanges, updatedAt} for block tools, {id, slug, status, updatedAt} for form tools, {id, slug, updatedAt} for model tools, {id, status, updatedAt} for record tools, {id, orderNumber, status, paymentStatus, fulfillmentStatus, total, balanceDue, currency, updatedAt} for order tools, {id, code, type, value, enabled, updatedAt} for discount tools.
• response: "full" - returns the full mutation response (pre-0.6 behavior).

Use "full" only if you need the post-write state inline; otherwise issue a follow-up get_page/get_form/get_model/get_record. This keeps agent context windows from being eaten by echoed content.

Tools that accept response: create_page, update_page_blocks, update_page_settings, publish_page, unpublish_page, revert_to_published, update_page_layout, add_block_to_page, update_block_content, remove_block_from_page, create_form, update_form, create_model, update_model, create_record, update_record, create_manual_order, edit_order, update_order_details, mark_order_paid, record_order_payment, refund_order, cancel_order, transition_order_fulfillment, set_order_pipeline_stage, record_order_invoice, create_discount, update_discount, set_discount_enabled.

patch_block_content and the various delete_* / status-only tools (update_form_submission_status, import_records) already returned a compact ack and don't take response.

Available Tools

Read Tools

| Tool | Description | | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | list_pages | Page tree with hierarchy (optional search filter) | | get_page | Full page with blocks, i18n content and region settings (own regionSettings + resolved resolvedRegions with inheritance source) by slug or id | | get_site_config | Languages, navigation, site name | | get_workspace_info | Workspace name, plan, limits | | list_media | Media library listing |

Write Tools

| Tool | Description | | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------- | | create_page | Create a new page | | update_page_blocks | Set full blocks array on a page | | update_page_settings | Update page metadata and SEO | | publish_page | Publish a page | | unpublish_page | Unpublish a page | | delete_page | Delete a page | | revert_to_published | Discard draft, revert to published |

Block Helper Tools

| Tool | Description | | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | add_block_to_page | Insert a block at position (auto-generates UUID + translations) | | update_block_content | Merge content into an existing block | | patch_block_content | Surgical HTML patch (insert/replace around unique markers) | | remove_block_from_page | Remove a block by ID | | update_page_layout | Update layout blocks and overrides | | update_region_settings | Set one layout region's settings (manifest-validated; other regions untouched) |

update_region_settings

Region (layout position) settings are declared by the workspace's layout manifest and validated against it on write. The tool reads the page's current layoutRegionSettings, replaces only the named region and writes the whole list back, so sibling regions keep their values (entries for regions the manifest no longer declares, and keys a region's schema no longer has, are dropped on the way - the same pruning the admin editor does). The backend's own BAD_USER_INPUT message is returned verbatim for an unknown region, an unknown key, or a non-empty values on a region that declares no settings (such a region accepts values: {} only); blockWarnings are surfaced when present.

{ "pageId": "...", "region": "sidebar", "values": { "width": "wide" } }

Child pages inherit a region's settings unless they set their own - get_page shows the effective value per region in resolvedRegions (settingsAreInherited, settingsSourcePageId).

patch_block_content

For small edits on long HTML content strings (e.g. a docs-article body), patch_block_content is ~10x cheaper in tokens than update_block_content and catches marker mistakes before anything writes to the DB.

{
  "pageId": "...",
  "blockId": "...",
  "locale": "en",
  "operations": [
    {
      "op": "insert_before",
      "marker": "<h2>Environment Variables</h2>",
      "html": "<hr><h2>cmssy skills install</h2><p>...</p>",
    },
  ],
}

Three ops: insert_before, insert_after, replace_section. Every marker must match exactly once - 0 or 2+ matches error out with the actual count (no silent half-applied state). For replace_section, startMarker is inclusive and endMarker is exclusive.

Requires @cmssy/cli-registered workspace with PAGES_EDIT permission. Default fieldPath is "content" (the HTML body on docs-article); override if patching a different string field.

Model Tools (Custom Data Models)

AI agents can define ModelDefinitions and CRUD their records. Schema/fields follow PropertyField from @cmssy/types; records are validated against the model on every write.

| Tool | Description | | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | list_models | List all ModelDefinitions in the workspace | | get_model | Get a model by id (ObjectId) or slug | | create_model | Create a model (name, slug, fields, optional statusField) | | update_model | Update any field of a model (fields change triggers schema migrate) | | delete_model | Delete a model — cascades to all its records | | list_records | List records with filter (JSON), sort, pagination, optional populate | | get_record | Get a record by id | | create_record | Create a record; data keyed by model field keys | | update_record | Update a record's data and/or transition its status | | delete_record | Delete a record | | import_records | Bulk import up to 1000 records; returns { importedCount, errors } |

Requires workspace permissions MODELS_VIEW (read) / MODELS_CREATE / MODELS_EDIT / MODELS_DELETE depending on the operation.

Commerce Tools (Orders, Carts, Discounts)

Manage the storefront's orders, carts, and discount codes. All money fields are integer minor units (cents). Order/discount write tools accept the response arg (see Response shape).

| Tool | Description | | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | | list_orders | List orders (filter by payment/fulfillment status, customer, dates) | | get_order | Get an order with items, payments, and tax summary | | get_order_pipeline | Get the workspace's configurable order pipeline stages | | create_manual_order | Create an admin-entered order | | edit_order | Replace an order's line items (recomputes totals) | | update_order_details | Update customer email, notes, and tracking | | mark_order_paid | Record a full payment (manual reconciliation, no provider verify) | | record_order_payment | Record a partial payment against the balance due | | refund_order | Refund an order (full, or partial with amount) | | cancel_order | Cancel an order | | transition_order_fulfillment | Move an order to a new fulfillment status (with optional tracking) | | set_order_pipeline_stage | Move an order to a pipeline stage | | record_order_invoice | Attach an invoice (number, url, provider) to an order | | list_carts | List shopping carts (admin view, optional status filter) | | list_discounts | List discount codes (filter by enabled/type/code) | | get_discount | Get a discount by id | | create_discount | Create a discount (percentage / fixed / free_shipping) | | update_discount | Partial update (code/type/currency lock once the code is used) | | set_discount_enabled | Enable or disable a discount | | list_products | Product catalog with stock + variant info (over a Data Model) | | bulk_update_products | Bulk set/adjust status, stock, or price on selected products | | bulk_delete_products | Bulk-delete selected product records |

Products are records of a Custom Data Model; these tools add product-aware stock/variant reads and bulk writes on top of the generic record tools. The bulk tools target an explicit ids list or everything matching a filter (allMatching: true). There is no per-variant stock write and no standalone inventory mutation - stock is set/adjusted in bulk via patch.setStock / patch.adjustStock.

Requires workspace permissions ORDERS_VIEW / ORDERS_MANAGE (orders), CARTS_VIEW (carts), DISCOUNTS_VIEW / DISCOUNTS_MANAGE (discounts), MODELS_VIEW / MODELS_EDIT / MODELS_DELETE (products).

Webhook Tools

Manage outbound event webhooks. create_webhook and rotate_webhook_secret return the signing secret once - it cannot be retrieved again.

| Tool | Description | | -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | list_webhooks | List webhook endpoints (secrets never returned) | | list_webhook_deliveries | Recent delivery attempts (pending/success/failed) | | list_webhook_event_types | The authoritative allowlist of subscribable events | | create_webhook | Create an endpoint; returns the endpoint + secret (once) | | update_webhook | Partial update; pass enabled to enable/disable | | rotate_webhook_secret | Rotate the signing secret (returns new secret once) | | delete_webhook | Delete an endpoint |

Requires workspace permissions WEBHOOKS_VIEW (read) / WEBHOOKS_MANAGE (create, update, rotate, delete).
