Sanity MCP Server

The Sanity MCP Server bridges the gap between AI assistants such as Claude Desktop and the Sanity.io headless CMS. By exposing a set of well‑defined tools over the Model Context Protocol, it lets developers harness Sanity’s content management capabilities directly from conversational agents. This eliminates the need for custom API wrappers or manual HTTP requests, enabling AI‑driven workflows that can read, create, update, and list content with natural language commands.

The server solves a common pain point for teams that want to integrate rich, structured content into AI‑powered applications. Instead of exposing raw REST endpoints or GraphQL schemas to the assistant, the MCP server translates high‑level tool calls into Sanity’s client operations. This abstraction reduces boilerplate, enforces consistent authentication via environment variables, and provides a single point of configuration for all content interactions. For developers building knowledge bases, dynamic blogs, or product catalogs, the ability to manipulate Sanity documents through an AI interface streamlines content creation and maintenance.

Key features include:

• Create Document – Instantiate any Sanity document type with a JSON payload, allowing the assistant to author new articles, pages, or custom data structures on demand.
• Edit Document – Update existing records by ID, supporting partial updates to fields such as titles or body blocks.
• List Documents – Retrieve a paginated list of documents for a specified type, useful for browsing recent posts or fetching inventory items.
• Get Schema – Generate a schema template from an existing document, aiding in rapid prototyping and ensuring consistency across content types.
• Secure Environment Configuration – All credentials are sourced from environment variables, keeping tokens out of source control and simplifying deployment.

Real‑world scenarios that benefit from this MCP server include:

• AI‑Assisted Blogging – A content editor can ask Claude to draft, revise, or publish new posts directly within the CMS.
• Dynamic FAQ Generation – Customer support bots can pull up-to-date product information or troubleshooting guides from Sanity without manual API calls.
• Content Curation Pipelines – Data scientists can trigger automated content updates or bulk imports through conversational prompts, streamlining editorial workflows.

Integration is straightforward: after adding the server to Claude Desktop’s MCP settings, developers can invoke any of the listed tools by referencing their names and supplying JSON arguments. The assistant handles serialization, error handling, and response formatting, returning rich content objects that can be displayed or further processed. Because the server operates over standard MCP, it is agnostic to the underlying AI model and can be reused with other assistants or custom tooling.

In summary, the Sanity MCP Server offers a clean, secure, and developer‑friendly gateway to Sanity.io from AI assistants. By encapsulating common CMS operations into reusable tools, it empowers teams to build conversational interfaces that read from and write to structured content without writing repetitive code or exposing sensitive credentials.
