README

A comprehensive MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Statamic CMS v6 that provides AI assistants with structured access to Statamic's content management capabilities through a modern router-based architecture.

Requirements

• PHP 8.3+
• Laravel 12+
• Statamic 6.6+
• Laravel MCP ^0.6 || ^0.7 || ^0.8

Installation

# Install via Composer
composer require cboxdk/statamic-mcp

# Run the installation command
php artisan mcp:statamic:install

Recommended: Laravel Boost Integration

We recommend installing Laravel Boost alongside this addon for the best experience:

composer require laravel/boost --dev

Laravel Boost provides Laravel-specific tools (Eloquent, database, debugging), while Statamic MCP Server provides Statamic-specific tools (blueprints, collections, entries, assets). Together they give your AI assistant complete coverage.

Web MCP Endpoint

The web MCP endpoint is enabled by default after installation. To customize the path:

STATAMIC_MCP_WEB_PATH="/mcp/statamic"

Create a token in the CP dashboard (Tools > MCP > Tokens), then configure your AI client:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "statamic": {
            "url": "https://your-site.test/mcp/statamic",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>"
            }
        }
    }
}

See Getting Started for detailed setup or AI Client Setup for client-specific instructions (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Windsurf).

Features

The MCP server organizes Statamic's capabilities into domain routers with action-based routing:

Blueprint Management — statamic-blueprints

Actions: list, get, create, update, delete, scan, generate, types, validate

List, inspect, create, and modify blueprints. Generate TypeScript/PHP types from field definitions. Validate blueprints for conflicts and structural integrity.

Entry Management — statamic-entries

Dedicated entry operations with filtering, search, pagination, status filtering, merge strategies, and bulk operations.

Term Management — statamic-terms

Taxonomy term operations with slug conflict prevention, dependency validation, and relationship mapping.

Global Management — statamic-globals

Global set structure and values management with multi-site support, change tracking, and field-level filtering.

Structure Management — statamic-structures

Collection, taxonomy, navigation, and site configuration management.

Asset Management — statamic-assets

Asset container and file operations: upload, move, copy, rename, delete with metadata management.

User Management — statamic-users

User CRUD, role assignment, group management with RBAC support.

System Management — statamic-system

System info, health checks, cache management (clear/warm), and configuration access.

Content Workflow Facade — statamic-content-facade

High-level workflow operations: content_audit and cross_reference.

Agent Education Tools

• statamic-system-discover — Intent-based tool discovery
• statamic-system-schema — Tool schema inspection

Architecture

Router-Based Design

• 11 domain routers instead of 140+ individual tools
• Action-based routing: Each router handles multiple related operations
• Better AI performance: Fewer tools to choose from, clearer purposes
• Single file per domain: Easy maintenance and testing

Security

• Scoped API tokens with 21 granular permissions
• OAuth 2.1 authorization server with PKCE and dynamic client registration
• Bearer token + Basic Auth authentication
• Rate limiting per token
• Audit logging for all operations
• Path traversal protection
• PHPStan Level 8 strict typing

CP Dashboard

Vue 3 dashboard in the Statamic CP (Tools > MCP) with:

• Connect — Endpoint URL, client config snippets for Claude/Cursor/ChatGPT/Windsurf
• Tokens — Create, list, and revoke API tokens with scope selection
• Activity — Audit log of MCP tool calls
• Settings — System stats, endpoint status, rate limiting

Configuration

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=statamic-mcp-config

Key settings in config/statamic/mcp.php:

• Web endpoint (enabled, path, HTTPS enforcement)
• Authentication (scoped tokens, token lifetime, audit logging)
• Security (force web mode, audit logging)
• Rate limiting (max attempts per minute)
• Per-domain tool enablement
