This guide shows you how to configure the Contentful connector for WRITER Agent. After setting up this connector, WRITER Agent can publish and archive content entries, list locales, and perform other content management operations across your Contentful spaces.

​
Set up the Contentful connector

Configure the Contentful connector in AI Studio under Connectors & Tools.
Dynamic client registration means Contentful dynamically creates and manages OAuth credentials during the setup process. You don’t need to create your own OAuth application or provide a client ID and client secret.

​
Configure the connector in AI Studio

Create the connector profile and connection settings in AI Studio:
  1. Navigate to Connectors & Tools in AI Studio
  2. Search for Contentful and select the connector
  3. On the Profile step, enter a profile name and description for the connector, and select who has access by default (all users or specific teams)
  4. Select Next to continue to the Type step
  5. Select the connection level: user level (each user authenticates their own account) or org level (shared connection to a single account)
  6. Select Dynamic client registration as the Managed by option
  7. Select Next to continue to the Tools step
  8. Select which tools to enable for your agents, then select Save

​
Authorize the connector in Contentful

When the OAuth authorization flow opens Contentful, grant access to your organization, spaces, and tool categories:
  1. Log in to your Contentful account when prompted
  2. Select Authorize to allow the Contentful Remote MCP application to access your content
  3. Select the Organization where you install Contentful’s Remote MCP Server
  4. Under Select spaces and environments, select the Space and Environment to grant access to
  5. Select Add row to grant access to additional spaces or environments
  6. Under Configure Contentful access, select which tool categories the MCP server can access for the selected space and environment (for example, entries, assets, content types, environments, or AI Actions)
  7. Choose read-only or read/write access for each category you enable
  8. Expand Content lifecycle actions to configure entry-related actions like publishing and archiving
  9. Select I recognize and trust this URL to confirm the redirect URL, then select Agree to authorize the WRITER MCP Client
  10. Confirm you see Connected to Contentful, then close the tab
