Setting up Strapi 5

From the connector definition itself: where to find the credentials, what they need to be allowed to do, and which API this adapter talks to.

Set STRAPI_URL to the root URL of the Strapi instance, for example https://cms.example.com; do not append /api. Strapi Cloud and any other publicly reachable Strapi 5 instance can be used from AnythingMCP Cloud. A self-hosted instance on a private network, localhost, or a private IP address can only be reached from a self-hosted AnythingMCP deployment and must also be allowed through SSRF_ALLOWED_HOSTS, because the outbound guard blocks private address space by default. Set STRAPI_API_TOKEN to a Strapi Content API token with read-only access to the collection types that should be available. The token is sent only in the Authorization Bearer header and must never be placed in a query string, log, or tool argument. This adapter targets the Strapi 5 REST Content API; Strapi 4 response shapes and the Admin, Content Manager, and Content-Type Builder APIs are not supported. All three tools are read-only GET requests and cannot create, update, publish, unpublish, or delete content. strapi_health checks only whether the Strapi process is reachable; the /_health endpoint does not prove that the API token is valid or that it can read a collection. Collection types are addressed by their plural API ID, such as articles, not by the display name, and Strapi does not expose a general public endpoint for this adapter to discover them. Use strapi_list_documents with a known plural API ID before retrieving one document by its Strapi 5 documentId. The list tool preserves both data and meta so pagination information remains available. Use fields to limit scalar fields, filters for Strapi filter operators, sort for field:asc or field:desc expressions, pagination for page-based paging, populate for relations or media, locale for localized content, and status to choose published or draft documents. Relations, media, components, and dynamic zones are not populated unless populate is requested. Content type and document identifiers are percent-encoded before entering the request path, so values containing slashes, question marks, fragments, or spaces cannot change the target route.
