How to Set Up and Use Mix Core
Mixcore CMS is a fully open-source, enterprise-grade web CMS built on ASP.NET Core / .NET Core that supports both headless and decoupled architectures. It exposes an API-first design that lets developers connect AI assistants to content management workflows, enabling teams to query, create, and manage multilingual content across MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and SQLite databases. Developers use this MCP integration to interact with Mixcore's rich content APIs through natural language, automating publishing tasks and accelerating CMS-driven development.
Prerequisites
- .NET 10 SDK installed on your machine
- A running Mixcore CMS instance (local or remote) — see https://docs.mixcore.org
- Docker (optional, for the quickest local setup)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
- Node.js 18+ if using the npx-based launcher
Run Mixcore CMS locally with Docker
Pull and start the official Mixcore Docker image so you have a CMS instance to connect to.
docker pull ghcr.io/mixcore/mix.core:master
docker run -it --rm -p 5000:80 --name mixcore_cms ghcr.io/mixcore/mix.core:masterVerify the CMS is running
Open your browser to http://localhost:5000 and complete the initial setup wizard. The CMS admin portal will be available at http://localhost:5000/portal.
Install the MCP server package
Use npx to run the mix-core MCP server, which bridges your MCP client to the running Mixcore CMS instance.
npx mix-coreAdd Mixcore to your MCP client configuration
Edit your Claude Desktop (or other MCP client) config file to register the mix-core MCP server. Set the CMS_BASE_URL to point to your running Mixcore instance.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mix-core": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mix-core"],
"env": {
"CMS_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:5000",
"CMS_API_KEY": "your-mixcore-api-key"
}
}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop (or your chosen MCP client) so it loads the new server configuration.
Mix Core Examples
Client configuration
Add this block to claude_desktop_config.json to connect Claude Desktop to a local Mixcore CMS instance.

"mcpServers": {
"mix-core": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mix-core"],
"env": {
"CMS_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:5000",

}Prompts to try
Natural language prompts to use with Mixcore CMS through your MCP client.
- "List all published blog posts on my Mixcore site"
- "Create a new page titled 'About Us' with the following content..."
- "Show me all content items in the 'Products' module"
- "What multilingual content configurations are active on this CMS?"
- "Fetch the latest 10 articles from the News section"Troubleshooting Mix Core
MCP server cannot connect to the CMS — 'Connection refused' error
Ensure the Mixcore Docker container is running with `docker ps` and that port 5000 is accessible. If using a remote instance, update CMS_BASE_URL to the correct host.
Authentication errors when accessing CMS content
Log into the Mixcore admin portal, navigate to Settings > API, and generate a valid API key. Set this as CMS_API_KEY in your MCP server environment config.
npx mix-core fails or shows 'package not found'
Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed (`node --version`). Try clearing the npx cache with `npx --yes mix-core` or clone the repository and run the server manually.
