CMSKite MCP server

cmskite-mcp

CMSKite is a hosted blog backend: you write posts in a dashboard, and your website fetches them over HTTP. This MCP server lets an AI assistant do that work for you: create a project, write and publish posts, issue API keys, and generate the code that connects your site.

An MCP server for CMSKite. It gives an assistant the workspace, project and content surface behind one agent token.

Setup

Create a token in the dashboard under Settings → Agent tokens. Tick only what the assistant needs; the defaults are read and write content. The token is shown once, and that dialogue generates the block below for whichever client you pick — Set up a client on the same screen shows it again afterwards.

The first start downloads the package, which can take longer than a client waits for a server (often 30 seconds). If yours reports a timeout, run npx -y cmskite-mcp@latest once in a terminal to fill the cache, or npm install -g cmskite-mcp and use cmskite-mcp as the command.

Every client runs the same process. They disagree only about where it is written and under what key, and a block copied from the wrong one pastes without complaint and then does nothing.

Claude Code

claude mcp add cmskite --scope user \
  --env CMSKITE_API_URL=https://api.cmskite.com \
  --env CMSKITE_AGENT_TOKEN=cka_live_… \
  -- npx -y cmskite-mcp

--scope user puts it in every project. Drop it to add it to one repository.

Claude Desktop reads that file only at start-up, so quit it completely and open it again.

Codex CLI

~/.codex/config.toml — TOML, and the only one here that does not take the block above.

[mcp_servers.cmskite]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "cmskite-mcp"]

[mcp_servers.cmskite.env]
CMSKITE_API_URL = "https://api.cmskite.com"
CMSKITE_AGENT_TOKEN = "cka_live_…"

VS Code

.vscode/mcp.json — the key is servers, not mcpServers, and the transport is named.

        "CMSKITE_AGENT_TOKEN": "cka_live_…"
