About

Contentful ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 10 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Contentful reads and writes structured content from a workflow — listing and fetching entries, creating and updating them, and reading the content types that define their shape, so a workflow can adapt to a space’s schema instead of assuming a fixed set of fields.

Assets and locales are available too: assets can be listed and fetched for use alongside the entries that reference them, and locales can be listed to handle a space that publishes in more than one language correctly rather than assuming a single default.

Useful for keeping Contentful in sync with another system — publishing a new entry when content is approved elsewhere, updating one as source data changes, or pulling entries and their assets into another step of a workflow for further processing or distribution.

Build with Contentful

Three routes to the same 10 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Contentful's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Create Entry

create-entry

Create a new entry via the Management API. Requires a Management token.

Delete Entry

delete-entry

Delete an entry via the Management API. The entry must be unpublished first.

Get Asset

get-asset

Retrieve a single asset by ID.

Get Content Type

get-content-type

Retrieve a single content type definition by ID.

Get Entry

get-entry

Retrieve a single entry by ID.

List Assets

list-assets

List assets in a space/environment. Walks one page; pass `skip` to paginate.

List Content Types

list-content-types

List content types defined in a space/environment.

List Entries

list-entries

List entries in a space/environment, optionally scoped by content type.

List Locales

list-locales

List locales configured in the space/environment.

Update Entry

update-entry

Replace an entry's fields via the Management API. Requires the current version for optimistic locking.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Contentful's real ids.

+5 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Contentful, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Contentful. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "create-entry",
  payload: {
    contentTypeId: "<value>",
    fields: "<value>",
    // spaceId: "<value>",
    // environmentId: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action create-entry --payload '{"contentTypeId":"<value>","fields":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Contentful — without giving it Contentful's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.contentful#create-entry",
    "input": {
      "contentTypeId": "<contentTypeId>",
      "fields": "<fields>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Contentful connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Contentful's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Contentful itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Contentful declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
