Varbase AI MCP Server Base

Varbase AI MCP Server Base

An opt-in Drupal recipe that lets external assistants (Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, other MCP clients) read a Varbase 11 site and draft blog posts and pages over the Model Context Protocol: an MCP server on /mcp, OAuth 2.1, eight read tools and four draft-writing tools. Nothing it writes is ever published: publishing stays a human action in Drupal.

Install and apply

ddev composer config --json extra.drupal-recipe-unpack.ignore '["drupal/varbase_ai_mcp_server_base"]'
ddev composer require drupal/varbase_ai_mcp_server_base:~1
# Rebuild first: the module list is cached from before the require, and the apply
# stops with "is not a known module" without it.
ddev drush cr
ddev drush recipe ../recipes/varbase_ai_mcp_server_base
ddev drush cr

When the project already ignores other packages, add to the unpack list rather than replacing it. Re-applying is safe. On a site that applied 1.0.x, re-applying turns the mcp:write grants on and adds the draft permissions and tools. The blog and page content types and varbase_editorial_workflow must exist (Varbase 11 has them).

Automated testing

GitLab CI on git.drupalcode.org (.gitlab-ci.yml) builds a Varbase 11 site, applies this recipe twice and runs the Varbase functional testing suite in tests/ on it. See tests/README.md to run it against a site of your own.
