FAQ from Strapi MCP Server

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
