Strapi Content MCP

# Installation & Setup ## Prerequisites - Strapi v5.x project - Node.js 18 or higher - yarn or npm ## Installation ### Option 1: Copy Plugin Copy the plugin folder to your Strapi project's `src/plugins` directory: ```bash cp -r strapi-content-mcp /path/to/your-strapi-project/src/plugins/ ``` ### Option 2: Link Plugin (Development) For development, you can link the plugin: ```bash cd /path/to/your-strapi-project yarn link /path/to/strapi-content-mcp ``` ### Option 3: npm/yarn Package If published to npm: ```bash yarn add strapi-content-mcp # or npm install strapi-content-mcp ``` ## Configuration ### 1. Enable the Plugin Create or edit `config/plugins.ts` in your Strapi project: ```typescript export default { 'strapi-content-mcp': { enabled: true, config: { logLevel: 'info', }, }, }; ``` ### 2. Build the Plugin If using the plugin from source: ```bash cd src/plugins/strapi-content-mcp yarn install yarn build ``` ### 3. Rebuild Strapi ```bash cd /path/to/your-strapi-project yarn build ``` ### 4. Start Strapi ```bash yarn develop ``` ## Verify Installation Once Strapi starts, you should see in the logs: ``` [strapi-content-mcp] MCP plugin initialized [strapi-content-mcp] MCP endpoint available at: /api/strapi-content-mcp/mcp ``` ## Test the Endpoint You can test the MCP endpoint is accessible: ```bash # Check the endpoint responds curl -I http://localhost:1337/api/strapi-content-mcp/mcp ``` The endpoint uses session-based connections, so a simple curl test won't show tools - use Claude Desktop to test full functionality. ## Troubleshooting ### Plugin not loading 1. Ensure the plugin is in the correct location (`src/plugins/strapi-content-mcp`) 2. Check that it's enabled in `config/plugins.ts` 3. Rebuild Strapi: `yarn build` ### MCP endpoint returns 404 1. Verify the plugin is loaded in Strapi logs 2. Check the route exists: `GET /api/strapi-content-mcp/mcp` 3. Ensure no conflicting routes in your Strapi app ### TypeScript errors 1. Ensure all dependencies are installed: `yarn install` 2. Build the plugin: `yarn build` 3. Check Node.js version is 18+ ## Next Steps - [Configure authentication](./CONFIGURATION.md#authentication) - [Connect Claude Desktop](./CLAUDE-DESKTOP.md) - [Explore available tools](./TOOLS.md)
