Install

Quick Start (recommended)

OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID \
OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET \
OAUTH2_SCOPES=YOUR_OAUTH2_SCOPES \
BEARER_TOKEN=YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN \
uvx mcparmory-contentful-management

With pip

pip install mcparmory-contentful-management
OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID \
OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET \
OAUTH2_SCOPES=YOUR_OAUTH2_SCOPES \
BEARER_TOKEN=YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN \
mcparmory-contentful-management

MCP Client Configuration

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contentful-management": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcparmory-contentful-management"],
      "env": {
        "OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID": "YOUR_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID",
        "OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET": "YOUR_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET",
        "OAUTH2_SCOPES": "YOUR_OAUTH2_SCOPES",
        "BEARER_TOKEN": "YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set OAUTH2_SCOPES to a comma-separated list of scopes your app requires (e.g. OAUTH2_SCOPES=scope_a,scope_b). Some OAuth2 providers may also use additional scope env vars such as OAUTH2_USER_SCOPES; open .env to see all generated scope buckets and descriptions.


Credentials

Set the following environment variables (via MCP client env config, shell export, or .env file):

  • OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID — OAuth2 client ID
  • OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET — OAuth2 client secret
  • OAUTH2_SCOPES — OAuth2 scopes (comma-separated)
  • BEARER_TOKEN — Bearer token Do not commit credentials to version control.

OAuth2

Add this redirect URI to your OAuth provider's allowed redirect URIs:

http://localhost:9400/callback

If you change OAUTH2_CALLBACK_PORT in .env, update the redirect URI to match.

On first use, a browser window opens automatically for OAuth authorization. Grant access when prompted — tokens are saved to tokens/oauth2_tokens.json and refreshed automatically.

Re-authorization: Delete tokens/oauth2_tokens.json and restart the server.


Run Locally

First, configure your credentials in .env (see Credentials above).

pip install -r requirements.txt
python server.py

Connect MCP Client

Edit .mcp.json and replace <SERVER_DIR> with the absolute path to this directory, then add to your MCP client configuration.

Example (if server is at /home/user/mcp-servers/contentful-management):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contentful-management": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/home/user/mcp-servers/contentful-management/server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Docker

Pre-built image (recommended)

docker run -p 8000:8000 -p 9400:9400 -v ./tokens:/app/tokens \
  -e OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID \
  -e OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET \
  -e OAUTH2_SCOPES=YOUR_OAUTH2_SCOPES \
  -e BEARER_TOKEN=YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN \
  ghcr.io/mcparmory/contentful-management:latest

Build from source

First, configure your credentials in .env (see Credentials above).

docker build -t contentful-management .
mkdir -p tokens
docker run -p 8000:8000 -p 9400:9400 -v ./tokens:/app/tokens --env-file .env contentful-management

Before running, make sure ports 8000, 9400 are free. If you changed the callback port in .env, update the -p port mapping and your OAuth provider's redirect URI to match.

On first run, the server prints an authorization URL — check docker logs for the URL. Open it in your browser to complete OAuth consent. Tokens are persisted to ./tokens/ via the volume mount so re-authorization is not needed on subsequent runs.

MCP client config (Docker)

For Docker, use SSE transport in your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contentful-management": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/sse"
    }
  }
}
