Installation

You can use this server directly with npx in your Claude Desktop configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@bschauer/strapi-mcp-server@2.6.0"]
    }
  }
}

Configuration

Create a configuration file at ~/.mcp/strapi-mcp-server.config.json:

{
  "myserver": {
    "api_url": "http://localhost:1337",
    "api_key": "your-jwt-token-from-strapi-admin",
    "version": "5.*" // Optional: Specify Strapi version (e.g., "5.*", "4.1.5", "v4")
  }
}

You can configure multiple Strapi instances by adding them to this file.

Version Configuration

The server now supports various version formats:

• Wildcard: "5.", "4."
• Specific: "4.1.5", "5.0.0"
• Simple: "v4", "v5"

This helps the server provide version-specific guidance and handle API differences appropriately.

Getting a JWT Token

1. Log in to your Strapi admin panel
2. Create an API token with appropriate permissions
3. Add the token to your config file under the appropriate server name

Usage

List Available Servers

strapi_list_servers();
// Now includes version information and differences between v4 and v5

Content Types

// Get all content types from a specific server
strapi_get_content_types({
  server: "myserver",
});

// Get components with pagination
strapi_get_components({
  server: "myserver",
  page: 1,
  pageSize: 25,
});

REST API

The REST API provides comprehensive CRUD operations with built-in validation and version-specific handling:

// Query content with filters
strapi_rest({
  server: "myserver",
  endpoint: "api/articles",
  method: "GET",
  params: {
    filters: {
      title: {
        $contains: "search term",
      },
    },
  },
});

// Create new content
strapi_rest({
  server: "myserver",
  endpoint: "api/articles",
  method: "POST",
  body: {
    data: {
      title: "New Article",
      content: "Article content",
      category: "news",
    },
  },
});

// Update content
strapi_rest({
  server: "myserver",
  endpoint: "api/articles/123",
  method: "PUT",
  body: {
    data: {
      t
