What is DatoCMS?

Building with AI: Agent Skills turn coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor) into expert DatoCMS developers, with full read/write via the auto-installed CLI. No local terminal? Use the MCP Server instead.

Talking to DatoCMS from code:

• Content Delivery API (CDA) — the fast, read-only GraphQL API your website/app uses to fetch published content.
• Content Management API (CMA) — the REST API for creating and updating content, models, and project settings (think scripts, migrations, integrations).
• CLI — terminal tool for schema migrations and importing from Contentful/WordPress.

Framework guides: end-to-end recipes for fetching content, rendering Structured Text, optimizing images/video, handling SEO, and setting up live preview with visual editing in Next.js, Nuxt, Svelte, and Astro.
