Strapi Connector

Maintains a registry of multiple Strapi server endpoints with authentication credentials, allowing seamless context switching between different Strapi deployments without re-authentication. Implements connection pooling and credential caching to enable rapid server switching within a single MCP session, storing server configurations in a local state store that persists across tool invocations.

Queries Strapi's content-type API endpoints to dynamically discover and cache all available content types, components, and their field schemas. Exposes hierarchical navigation of content structure with field metadata (type, validation rules, relations), enabling intelligent prompting and validation without hardcoding schema knowledge. Uses Strapi's GraphQL introspection or REST schema endpoints to build an in-memory schema graph.

Implements full CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) against Strapi's REST API with automatic payload validation against discovered schemas. Constructs properly-formatted REST requests with correct endpoint routing, query parameters, and request bodies based on content type structure. Includes error handling for validation failures, permission errors, and API rate limits with automatic retry logic.

Handles file uploads to Strapi's media library via multipart form-data requests with automatic MIME type detection and file validation. Supports batch uploads with progress tracking, implements resumable uploads for large files, and manages asset metadata (alt text, captions, focal points). Integrates with Strapi's upload plugin to handle provider-specific storage (local filesystem, S3, Cloudinary, etc.) transparently.

Resolves and manages relationships between content entries (one-to-many, many-to-many, polymorphic relations) by tracking foreign keys and populating related content automatically. Implements lazy-loading of related entries with configurable depth to avoid circular reference issues. Provides bidirectional relationship management — updating a relation from either side maintains consistency.

Constructs complex Strapi REST API queries with support for filtering, sorting, pagination, and field selection. Implements a query builder pattern that translates human-readable filter expressions into Strapi's query syntax (e.g., $eq, $ne, $gt, $contains). Supports nested filters on related content and full-text search capabilities where available. Automatically optimizes queries to minimize API calls and response payload size.

Manages content lifecycle states (draft, published, archived) with automatic timestamp tracking and version history. Implements publish scheduling to set future publication dates, and provides rollback capabilities to revert to previous versions. Handles draft-to-publish transitions with validation to ensure required fields are populated before publishing.

Handles Strapi's component and dynamic zone features, which allow flexible content composition with reusable field groups. Manages component instances within entries, supporting nested components and dynamic zone polymorphic content. Validates component payloads against component schemas and handles component lifecycle (create, update, delete within parent entry).

Manages internationalized content across multiple locales using Strapi's i18n plugin. Handles locale-specific content creation, updates, and queries. Supports fallback locale behavior and detects missing translations. Provides locale switching within the same entry and bulk locale operations.

Configures and manages Strapi webhooks to trigger external actions on content events (create, update, delete, publish). Provides webhook testing and debugging capabilities to verify payload structure and delivery. Implements webhook retry logic and event filtering to reduce unnecessary webhook triggers.
