What can you actually build with Strapi’s MCP server?
In this tutorial by @JavaScriptar, we will build an AI-powered content assistant using Strapi MCP and the @vercel AI SDK.
It can work with content in Strapi, but that’s just the start.
We also extend the MCP server with custom tools to:
🔎 Research competing content with @SerpApi
🔗 Find related articles for internal linking
🛠️ Check articles for broken internal links
And before the AI makes changes to content, a human can review and approve the action.
It’s a practical look at how MCP, AI models, external tools, and your CMS can work together while keeping humans in control.
