NomaCMS MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects AI agents like Cursor and Claude Code to your NomaCMS project. Manage collections, fields, content entries, assets, and webhooks programmatically through natural language.
Configuration
NOMA_API_KEY: API key from User settings β API keys β see API key abilities.
NOMA_PROJECT_ID: Your project's UUID β you can find it on the project home page or under Project settings β API Access
Usage with Cursor
Add this to your Cursor MCP settings (~/.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"nomacms": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@nomacms/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"NOMA_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
"NOMA_PROJECT_ID": "your-project-uuid"
}
}
}
}
Usage with Claude Code
Add the MCP server using the Claude Code CLI:
claude mcp add nomacms \
-e NOMA_API_KEY=your-api-key \
-e NOMA_PROJECT_ID=your-project-uuid \
-- npx -y @nomacms/mcp-server
Project
get_project β Get project information (default_locale, locales, etc.)
add_project_locale β Add a locale code to the project (requires admin)
set_default_project_locale β Set the default locale (requires admin)
Removing locales is intentionally not exposed here (use Project settings β Localization in the NomaCMS dashboard if you must remove a locale).
Collections
list_collections β List all collections
get_collection β Get a collection with its full field schema
create_collection β Create a collection (with optional batch field creation)
update_collection β Update a collection's name and slug
reorder_collections β Reorder collections
Fields
create_field β Add a field to a collection
update_field β Update a field
reorder_fields β Reorder fields within a collection
Content Entries
list_entries β List entries with advanced filtering (where with 13 operators, OR groups, relation filtering), sorting, pagination, count, and first
get_entry β Get a single content entry
create_entry β Create a content entry
update_entry β Update a content entry
patch_entry β Partially update an entry (HTTP PATCH; merge only the fields you send)
publish_entry β Publish the draft as a new immutable version (update)
unpublish_entry β Clear the live published pointer; versions retained (update)
delete_entry β Soft-delete a content entry (moves to trash)
bulk_create_entries β Create multiple entries atomically
bulk_update_entries β Update multiple entries atomically by UUID
bulk_delete_entries β Delete multiple entries atomically by UUID
link_entry_translation β Link two entries (different locales) into the same translation group (POST β¦/link-translation; requires update ability)
list_entry_versions β List version history for an entry
get_entry_version β Fetch one version by number (includes snapshot payload)
revert_entry_version β Restore draft from a prior snapshot and publish (update)
update_entry_version_label β Edit label/description on a version; snapshot unchanged (update)
Content API shape: Each entry has uuid, locale, published_at, and fields (custom field values). Richtext values are markdown strings on write; on read they are either raw markdown or rendered HTML depending on the fieldβs editor.outputFormat (markdown vs html). Relation fields return nested entry objects (or arrays for one-to-many) on read; on write send only the related entryβs UUID or numeric id (never the full nested object from a previous get_entry). get_entry supports translation_locale, exclude, timestamps, and state query parameters.
Asset URLs: The API returns url, thumbnail_url, and original_url as stable links (optional ?variant=thumbnail or ?variant=original).
Assets
list_assets β List assets with pagination
get_asset β Get an asset by UUID or filename
upload_asset β Upload a file as an asset
bulk_upload_assets β Upload multiple files atomically
bulk_update_asset_metadata β Update metadata for multiple assets atomically
delete_asset β Delete an asset
Webhooks
list_webhooks β List all webhooks for the project
get_webhook β Get a webhook by UUID
create_webhook β Create a webhook for content and auth events (name, url, events, sources; optional description, secret, payload, status, collection_ids)
update_webhook β Update a webhook by UUID (same fields as create)
delete_webhook β Delete a webhook by UUID
list_webhook_logs β List delivery logs for a webhook (uuid; optional paginate, page)
Resources
The server exposes three reference resources that AI agents can read for context:
- Field Types Reference (
nomacms://field-types) β Complete reference of all 16 field types, their options, validations, and common patterns.
- Collections Guide (
nomacms://collections-guide) β Guide for working with collections, singletons, reserved slugs, and best practices.
- Query Reference (
nomacms://query-reference) β Full documentation for content queries: where filters with 13 operators, OR groups, relation filtering, sorting, pagination, and examples.
API key abilities
Your API key needs the appropriate abilities for the tools you want to use:
| Ability | Tools |
|---|
read | list/get collections, entries, assets, webhooks; webhook logs |
create | create entries, upload assets, create webhooks |
update | update entries, link_entry_translation, update asset metadata, update webhooks |
delete | delete entries, delete assets, delete webhooks |
admin | create/update/reorder collections and fields; add/set default project locales (MCP does not expose locale removal) |
Create the key in the NomaCMS dashboard under User settings β API keys. Copy the Project ID from the project home page or Project settings β API Access when you configure this server.
Using Multiple Projects
Each MCP entry connects to a single NomaCMS project. To work with multiple projects, add separate entries in your MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nomacms-blog": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@nomacms/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"NOMA_API_KEY": "blog-project-api-key",
"NOMA_PROJECT_ID": "blog-project-uuid"
}
},
"nomacms-store": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@nomacms/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"NOMA_API_KEY": "store-project-api-key",
"NOMA_PROJECT_ID": "store-project-uuid"
}
}
}
}
