Integration

DatoCMS integration

DatoCMS is a headless, API-first content management system. Manage records, models, fields, assets, environments, and webhooks via the JSON:API-compliant Content Management API. Authenticated with a project-scoped API token (Project Settings > API Tokens). All write operations expect a JSON:API body wrapped under data.type/data.attributes; responses unwrap the same envelope.

What you can do with DatoCMS

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use DatoCMS from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect DatoCMS in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its DatoCMS operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect DatoCMS

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect DatoCMS once
Add your DatoCMS connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
