What it does

The server connects an agent to Sitecore so you stop copying data between chat and the Content Editor. It covers four APIs: Authoring and Management GraphQL, Item Service, GraphQL Edge and Sitecore PowerShell Extensions. In total there are 121 tools for searching, reading, creating, updating and deleting items, and for media, security, logs, indexing, publishing and presentation. It works with SitecoreAI and with Sitecore XM and XP of any version, including a local Docker CM instance. Three guide resources, guide://compose-page, guide://bulk-update and guide://diagnose-connection, can be read mid-task: building a page, bulk updates and connection self-diagnosis. When no ready tool exists, run-powershell-script and raw GraphQL remain. add-rendering-to-placeholder refuses a component that the placeholder settings forbid and names the allowed list. TOOL_PROFILE, TOOL_GROUPS and DISABLED_TOOLS trim the tool set so the schema takes less of the context.

Who it is for. Sitecore developers and administrators who build, migrate and audit solutions on XM, XP or SitecoreAI and want an agent to take over the routine.

Good fit when

  • Update fields across hundreds of items in bulk and verify the result before publishing
  • A page is assembled from components by a design, and the agent must place them in placeholders with rule checks
  • Audit access rights and roles on a CM before a release
  • You cannot connect to an instance and need self-diagnosis across GraphQL, Item Service and SPE
  • Migrating templates and content between environments

Not a fit when

  • You need cloud marketing features: briefs, brand kits, personalization and A/B tests. Sitecore has its own Marketer MCP for those
  • The instance is unreachable from where the server runs: GraphQL and PowerShell Remoting both need access
  • The agent must not touch accounts: enable no-account-management or pick another tool
  • You need vendor-backed support: this is a community project that Sitecore does not support

Limitations

This is a community project that Sitecore does not support. Which tools work depends on how the instance is set up: the authoring groups need only the Authoring and Management API and a token, while Item Service and SPE Remoting are off by default and need a config patch. Without SPE roughly three quarters of the tools cannot run.

121 tools weigh on the agent context, so narrow the set with TOOL_PROFILE before real work. Passwords and keys are passed through the client's environment variables.

How to disable. Remove the sitecore-mcp entry from mcpServers in the client config. If the server ran in Docker, stop the container. It is wise to revoke the Sitecore credentials it was given.

FAQ

How does it differ from Sitecore Marketer MCP?

Marketer MCP is hosted by Sitecore and aimed at SitecoreAI marketers: pages, briefs, brand kits, personalization. This server runs on your side, covers XM, XP and SitecoreAI, and gives 121 developer tools. A client can connect both.

What must be configured in Sitecore before starting?

The authoring groups need only the Authoring and Management API and a token. Item Service and SPE Remoting are off by default and are enabled with the config patch described in docs/sitecore-setup.md.

How do I reduce the number of tools?

Set TOOL_PROFILE: no-spe, no-item-service, no-edge-graphql, no-authoring-api or no-account-management. TOOL_GROUPS and DISABLED_TOOLS select more precisely. Profiles can be listed with commas.

How do I run the server?

Three ways: through npm with npx @antonytm/mcp-sitecore-server@latest, in a Docker image for Linux or Windows, or from source. Transports are stdio and HTTP.

Can the server delete items?

Yes. Among the 121 tools are creating, updating and deleting items, and editing accounts. The no-account-management profile switches off the twelve account tools.

README in short

The docs describe preparing an instance, three ways to run, a tool reference grouped by API surface, configuration and tool selection, three guides and the Docker images. A table compares the project with Sitecore's own Marketer MCP. The author quotes a case study claiming Figma-to-Sitecore work is five times faster.
