Strapi MCP: Documentation
Updated:
Connection
Since Strapi 5.47.0 the MCP server ships in core — no separate plugin to enable. The /mcp endpoint (e.g. http://localhost:1337/mcp or your production URL) runs the Streamable HTTP transport protocol; the architecture is stateless — every POST to /mcp spins up a fresh, ephemeral server instance scoped to the authenticated token's permissions. Auth: a Bearer admin token from Settings → API Tokens.
Tools
Each collection type generates up to 8 tools (find, findOne, create, update, delete, publish, unpublish, discardDraft — when Draft & Publish is enabled), and each single type up to 6 (no create/delete). The tool set adapts automatically to the project's content schema — as many types as the project has, that's how many tool sets the agent gets.
Agent flow
"Find every article still in draft from the last week", "publish the article with ID 12", "create a new entry in the Products collection with name and price fields".
Pricing
Part of Strapi's free core; only your chosen Strapi Cloud plan (if used) or your own infrastructure is billed.
