DevHub CMS MCP

What is DevHub CMS MCP about?

DevHub CMS MCP provides a set of Model Context Protocol tools that let language models interact with the DevHub CMS platform. It covers business and location data, blog content, and media assets, allowing CRUD operations without direct API calls.

How to use DevHub CMS MCP?

1. Install the package with uv (or uvx for a thin wrapper):

   uvx devhub-cms-mcp
   

2. Set the required environment variables:

   export DEVHUB_API_KEY="your_api_key"
   export DEVHUB_API_SECRET="your_api_secret"
   export DEVHUB_BASE_URL="https://yourbrand.cloudfrontend.net"
   

3. Run the server (e.g., uv run main.py) and reference it in your LLM client configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, Smithery, etc.).
4. Call the exposed tools such as get_businesses(), create_blog_post(), or upload_image() from the LLM’s tool‑calling interface.

Usage with LLMs

This MCP is designed to be used with Large Language Models that support the Model Context Protocol. It allows LLMs to manage content in DevHub CMS without needing direct API access integrated into the LLM natively.

Testing

This package includes a test suite with mocked requests to the DevHub API, allowing you to test the functionality without making actual API calls.

Running Tests

To run the tests, first install the package with test dependencies:

uv pip install -e ".[test]"

Run the tests with pytest:

uv run pytest

For more detailed output and test coverage information:
