Strapi MCP Server & AI Connector
The Model Context Protocol is the open standard assistants use to reach outside tools. Strapi AI Agent acts as an MCP server for your Strapi site: the assistant asks it for a capability, it checks what you have authorised, and only then does it touch your site. This page covers the technical side for Strapi.
What the connector talks to on Strapi
Strapi's REST API, at /api, against the collections you have designed yourself.
An API token created under Settings → API Tokens, scoped to only the collections you want reachable.
Worth knowing about Strapi
Because a Strapi content model is yours rather than the platform's, a setup step maps your field names onto the ones an assistant uses.
What the platform does not allow
An API token cannot list the collections it can reach, so the name of the collection holding your articles is something you tell us once, and it is checked before anything is written.
Authentication and permissions
The assistant authorises through OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, and is granted scopes rather than an open door. Your Strapi credential is encrypted at rest, tied to the one website it belongs to, and never sent to the assistant. Every operation is recorded, and an operation outside what you granted is refused before it reaches your site.
Everything above describes what Strapi’s interface offers. None of it is marked verified yet, which in this product means exercised against a live installation with the date recorded.
Common questions
What is an MCP server, in plain terms?
A service an AI assistant can call to do real work. Rather than describing a change to you, the assistant asks the server to make it. Strapi AI Agent is that server for Strapi, and the boundary of what it will do is set by what you authorised.
Does the assistant see my Strapi password or token?
No. The credential is encrypted and bound to the single website it was given for, so a copy of it elsewhere is useless. The assistant asks for an action; it never receives the way in.
Is this an official Strapi product?
No. Strapi AI Agent is an independent product that uses Strapi’s own published interfaces. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Strapi.
