What you can do

  • Collection Management — Query, filter, and sort documents across any collection using the find_many and find_by_id tools.
  • Content Operations — Create, update, or delete documents directly from your chat interface with full JSON support.
  • Global Data — Access and modify global configurations (like headers, footers, or site settings) using get_global and update_global.
  • Relationship Control — Manage data complexity by specifying the depth of populated relationships in your queries.
  • Advanced Filtering — Use the where parameter to perform complex queries using Payload's native query language.

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Payload CMS Base URL
  3. Provide an optional API Key and Auth Collection slug if your instance is protected
  4. Start managing your content from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Find the last 3 documents in the 'posts' collection sorted by creation date.

I've retrieved the 3 most recent posts from your collection. They include 'New Features in v3', 'Getting Started with MCP', and 'API Best Practices'. Would you like to see the full content of any of these?

Update the document with ID 673c2 in the 'products' collection to set the price to 49.99.

I have successfully updated the product (ID: 673c2). The price is now set to 49.99. Is there anything else you'd like to modify in this document?

Get the current data for the 'header' global.

I've fetched the 'header' global data. It currently contains the site logo URL, a navigation array with 5 links, and a 'sticky' setting set to true. Do you need to update any of these fields?

You can use the `find_many` tool and provide a JSON string in the `where` parameter. This follows Payload's standard query syntax, allowing you to filter by fields, operators (like `equals`, `contains`), and nested logic.
