ThinCMS MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for ThinCMS. Gives AI agents typed tool access to your ThinCMS site — no HTTP boilerplate, no header construction, no JSON encoding.

What it does

Wraps the ThinCMS REST API as 45 typed tools that any MCP-compatible AI client can call directly. Instead of constructing HTTP requests, agents call tools like thincms_create_post(title, content, status) and get structured responses back.

Requirements

• Node.js 18+

• A running ThinCMS instance

• An API key from ThinCMS (Admin > API Keys)

• An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code, etc.)

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thincms": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["tsx", "/path/to/thincms-mcp/src/index.ts"],
      "env": {
        "THINCMS_BASE_URL": "https://your-domain.com",
        "THINCMS_API_KEY": "tcms_your_key_here",
        "THINCMS_SITE_ID": "your_site_id_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Same configuration in .claude/settings.json or global Claude Code settings.

Available tools

All tool names are prefixed with thincms_ (e.g., thincms_list_posts).

Permissions

Uses the same API key auth as the REST API. API keys grant editor-level access — full CRUD on content, forms, templates, navigation, scripts, and secrets. Cannot change site settings, manage users, or run imports/backups.

Development

npm install
npm run build     # Compile TypeScript
npm run dev       # Run with tsx (for development)
