What is MCP, and what can it do with your content?

You ask Claude to translate this week’s five articles. It does, overnight, through the CMS. In the morning, your reviewer reads each one and approves. MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is what lets an agent work in your tools like that.

How it works

Servers, agents, and a person in charge

An open standard, published by Anthropic on 25 November 2024.

  • Servers

    A server per tool

    A product offers its actions as an MCP server: read an entry, save a draft, ask for review.

  • Clients

    Agents connect to it

    Claude Code, Codex and other AI apps connect to servers, and use their actions as tools.

  • Access

    Someone’s permissions

    An agent works as a person: with their sign-in, their projects, their role. Never more.

  • Review

    A person decides

    Good servers let the agent draft, then wait. A reviewer reads what it wrote before anyone sees it.

What to ask of a CMS’s MCP server

Three products, three answers to the question that matters: can the agent publish on its own?

    What no agent can do

    Approve its own work, run the server, or reach a project you didn’t choose.

Questions about MCP

An agency developer asksIs MCP only for Claude?

MoteurNo. It’s an open standard. Claude Code and Codex both connect to Moteur’s server, and any MCP client can.

An agency owner asksCan an agent publish a client’s page?

MoteurNot on its own. It asks for review, and a person approves. A project can allow more, but nothing does by default.

A client’s editor asksDo we see what the agent changed?

MoteurYes. Its edits are marked as written by the agent, and the commit says who it acted for: “Louise via Claude”.

An agency developer asksDo we need to install anything?

MoteurNo. The hosted server is an address and a sign-in in the browser. A local one runs through the CLI, if you prefer.
