Two capabilities your current CMS doesn't have
----------------------------------------------

[](#two-capabilities-your-current-cms-doesnt-have)

### 🔌 Native MCP Server — AI agents read and write your content directly

[](#-native-mcp-server--ai-agents-read-and-write-your-content-directly)

Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent to Jambo API. No custom API glue code. No integration layer. The agent talks to your CMS the same way a developer would — and acts autonomously.

```
# Your .cursor/mcp.json (or Claude Desktop config)
{
  "jambo": {
    "url": "https://your-jambo.com/mcp",
    "token": "your-api-token"
  }
}

```

**What your agent can do out of the box:**

- Browse collections, read and filter entries
- Create, update, delete content
- Manage schema (add fields, create collections)
- Upload and query media assets
- Translate entries into any configured locale
- Manage front-end users

> *"Connect your AI to update product sheets without writing a single line of API integration code."*

---

### 🤖 AI Studio — design your entire schema in a single conversation

[](#-ai-studio--design-your-entire-schema-in-a-single-conversation)

Open the Studio, describe your project in plain language, and the AI scaffolds all your collections and fields — names, types, relations, required flags. Change your mind? Just say so.

Supported providers: **OpenAI · Claude · Gemini · Mistral · Groq · DeepSeek · xAI · Perplexity · Qwen · Ollama**

The AI also works **inside entries**: generate content, translate to 4 languages, suggest improvements — without leaving the admin.

---

One install. Unlimited projects.
--------------------------------

[](#one-install-unlimited-projects)

Most headless CMS tools give you one project per deployment. Jambo API gives you **unlimited projects on a single instance** — each with its own collections, API tokens, locales, and end users. No extra containers. No extra SSL certificates. No extra pipelines.
