Frequently asked questions

1

What authentication methods are supported?

You can use admin email/password (recommended for full schema access) or an API token as a fallback. The server prefers admin credentials and validates configuration to reject common placeholders.

2

What environment variables are required?

`STRAPI_URL` (default `http://localhost:1337`), `STRAPI_ADMIN_EMAIL`, and `STRAPI_ADMIN_PASSWORD` are recommended. `STRAPI_API_TOKEN` is optional. Set `STRAPI_DEV_MODE=true` to enable development mode features.

3

What are the file size limits for media uploads?

The `upload_media` tool has a ~1MB base64 size limit (~750KB file) to prevent context overflow. `upload_media_from_path` supports files up to 10MB from local file paths.

4

How can I filter, paginate, and sort entries?

The `get_entries` tool supports `filters` (e.g., `{"title": {"$contains": "hello"}}`), `pagination` (`page`, `pageSize`), `sort` (e.g., `["title:asc"]`), and `populate` for relations.

5

What is the purpose of STRAPI_DEV_MODE?

Setting `STRAPI_DEV_MODE` to `true` enables development mode features in Strapi, allowing the server to access additional functionality during local development. It defaults to `false`.
