Frequently asked questions

1

What Strapi versions are supported?

Both Strapi v4 and v5 are supported. Version can be specified in the config (e.g., "5.*", "4.1.5", "v4") and the server handles API differences automatically.

2

How do I authenticate with my Strapi instance?

Authentication is done using a JWT token. You must create an API token in your Strapi admin panel and add it to the configuration file.

3

Can I use this server with multiple Strapi instances?

Yes. You can configure multiple Strapi instances by adding multiple entries to the configuration file at `~/.mcp/strapi-mcp-server.config.json`.

4

How does write protection work?

The server implements a strict write protection policy. All write operations (POST, PUT, DELETE, media upload) require explicit authorization. Each operation is logged and validated.

5

What are the main differences between Strapi v4 and v5 handled automatically?

v4 uses numeric IDs and nested attribute structures with a data wrapper, while v5 uses document-based IDs, flat data direct attribute access, and enhanced JWT security with integrated i18n.
