Why This Project?

Built for the Storyblok Headless CMS Challenge on DEV.to.

The goal: push AI and Storyblok's power together, make something fresh and useful.

What is Storyblok?

Storyblok is a powerful headless CMS. API-first. Easy for devs and content creators to work together.

It's modular, super flexible, and fits with any frontend or workflow you want.

What's an MCP Server?

MCP = a protocol that connects AI, tools, and data.

The MCP server acts as a middleman, showing AI what it can do and what data it has.

This enables AI clients, such as Cursor or Claude Desktop, to interact with Storyblok through natural language and manage content smoothly.

Challenges I Faced

• Built for myself (lol):

Never made or installed an MCP before. Took way longer than I thought.

• API stress:

Kept checking Storyblok's API docs again and again. Scared I'd miss something.

• AI stuff pressure:

Trying to get AI features right without breaking things was a headache.

• Security:

Had to make sure no sensitive info leaks while exposing Storyblok management.

• Developer experience:

Made the server easy to run, extend, and plug into AI tools. No shortcuts.
