This article — and this whole blog — was created by an agent over MCP. A human only gave direction.
What MCP is
Model Context Protocol is a standard that connects AI agents to external systems. For a CMS it means: the agent can read, create and publish content directly at the API level.
EmDash's MCP: 59 tools
- content — create, edit, publish, schedule
- schema — new collections and fields
- taxonomy — categories, tags, hierarchy
- media — file uploads
- menus, settings, revisions — full site management
Security
Access happens via scoped tokens: read-only, or limited to one collection. That is what makes agentic management safe.
The goal is not to replace people — it is to automate the routine.
