What is the NomaCMS MCP server?

MCP server for NomaCMS. Manage collections, fields, content, assets, and webhooks via AI agents. That is what the nomacms mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

Add this to your Cursor MCP settings (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @nomacms/mcp-server on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 11 tools. What each one is for:

  • 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)
  • Project — Removing locales is intentionally not exposed here (use Project settingsLocalization in the NomaCMS dashboard if you must remove a
  • Collections — The Collections tool exposed by this server
  • Fields — The Fields tool exposed by this server
  • Assets — The Assets tool exposed by this server
  • Webhooks — The Webhooks tool exposed by this server

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: NOMA_API_KEY, NOMA_PROJECT_ID. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 11 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch NomaCMS.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Among the monitoring and observability options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. NomaCMS's toolset — Ability, read, create and 8 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by NomaCMS; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

Frequently asked questions

It connects NomaCMS to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 11 tools (Ability, read, create, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with NomaCMS directly.
