Introducing Strapi MCP: An open-source Strapi plugin that provides AI support for your developers
Strapi MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a custom, open-source Strapi plugin created with development teams in mind. It provides an instant live context and information such as content types, relationships, and plugin configurations, giving your team a better understanding of the projects they are working on.
Why your Development Team needs Strapi MCP
Right now, your developers are coding blind. They only know pieces of your content structure, plugin setup, or project relationships. With every update, they spend hours figuring out how the changes in the project’s context.
Strapi MCP solves this by giving your developers AI tools with direct access to your live Strapi instance data while coding.
