agent-content-mcp

MCP server for Django sites: AI agents read and edit content through tools generated from the site.

Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP clients, and any Django site running django-agent-content. Its tools aren't hard-coded: at startup it reads the site's API description and creates tools for whatever the site has registered, such as list_posts, update_post or publish_post. One server for every site, with no code to edit.

MCP client ──stdio──> agent-content-mcp ──HTTPS + API key──> site /api/agent/ ──> Django models

Requirements

• A Django site with django-agent-content installed and an API key from it (python manage.py agent_content_key, or the site's admin under Agent content › API keys).
• uv to run the server: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Setup

Run once, in the project folder where you use Claude Code:

claude mcp add agent-content \
  -e AGENT_CONTENT_URL=https://example.com/api/agent/ \
  -e AGENT_CONTENT_KEY=ac_your_key \
  -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/hexa01/agent-content-mcp agent-content-mcp

Then start Claude Code there; claude mcp list shows whether it connected.

Scopes

claude mcp add stores the entry for the current project, visible only to you. Other options:

Other MCP clients

Any client that starts stdio servers can run it with the same command and environment variables, for example Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agent-content": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/hexa01/agent-content-mcp", "agent-content-mcp"],
      "env": { "AGENT_CONTENT_URL": "https://example.com/api/agent/", "AGENT_CONTENT_KEY": "ac_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

Tools

Each resource the site registers becomes a set of tools:

Descriptions come from the site's models (labels, help texts, limits, choices) and resource descriptions, so better documented models give agents better guidance. To see the tools for a site without an MCP client:

AGENT_CONTENT_URL=https://example.com/api/agent/ AGENT_CONTENT_KEY=ac_... \
  uvx --from git+https://github.com/hexa01/agent-content-mcp agent-content-mcp --check

Asking before public changes

To have Claude Code ask for approval before a tool runs, add it to the project's .claude/settings.json:

{ "permissions": { "ask": ["mcp__agent-content__publish_post"] } }

Safety

• The key is sent only over HTTPS (or to localhost). The site stores only its hash and can expire or revoke it.
• What the key can do is limited by its Django user's permissions. The API has no delete operations.
• Every change is recorded in the site's admin history under the key's user.

Development

git clone https://github.com/hexa01/agent-content-mcp.git && cd agent-content-mcp
poetry install                  # creates .venv/ here
.venv/bin/agent-content-mcp --check

To use a local checkout from Claude Code: claude mcp add agent-content -e ... -- uvx --from /path/to/agent-content-mcp agent-content-mcp.
