How to Set Up and Use Sanity (Legacy)
The legacy Sanity MCP server (@sanity/mcp-server) was an npm-based local MCP integration for the Sanity headless CMS. This package is now deprecated and archived; Sanity has replaced it with an improved hosted remote MCP server at mcp.sanity.io that offers OAuth authentication, Streamable HTTP transport, and continuously updated tools with no local Node.js setup required.
Prerequisites
- An MCP-compatible client that supports remote HTTP MCP servers (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code)
- A Sanity.io account and at least one Sanity project
- Network access to mcp.sanity.io
Use the remote Sanity MCP server instead
The local @sanity/mcp-server package is deprecated. Sanity now provides a hosted remote MCP server at https://mcp.sanity.io with OAuth authentication and no local setup required.
Add the remote server to your MCP client configuration
Open your MCP client configuration and point it at the remote Sanity MCP server using HTTP transport. No API tokens are needed—OAuth authentication is handled automatically in the browser.
{
"mcpServers": {
"sanity": {
"url": "https://mcp.sanity.io",
"type": "http"
}
}
}Authenticate via OAuth
The first time you invoke a Sanity tool through your MCP client, you will be redirected to the Sanity OAuth flow in your browser to authorize access to your projects.
Verify access to your Sanity project
After authentication, ask your AI client to list your Sanity datasets or query documents to confirm the connection is working.
Sanity (Legacy) Examples
Client configuration
Remote MCP server configuration for the Sanity CMS. This works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and other clients that support HTTP transport.
{
"mcpServers": {
"sanity": {
"url": "https://mcp.sanity.io",
"type": "http"
}
}
}Prompts to try
Example prompts to use with the Sanity MCP server once authenticated.
- "List all datasets in my Sanity project"
- "Query all published blog post documents from my Sanity dataset"
- "Create a new blog post document with title 'Hello World' and a draft status"
- "Update the description field of document with ID <doc-id> in my Sanity project"
- "Show me the schema for the 'post' document type"Troubleshooting Sanity (Legacy)
OAuth authentication does not complete or browser does not open
Ensure your MCP client has access to open browser windows, and that you are logged into your Sanity account at sanity.io. Try visiting https://mcp.sanity.io directly in your browser to confirm the service is reachable.
Tools are unavailable after switching from the old local @sanity/mcp-server
Remove the old local server entry (which used 'npx sanity') from your MCP config and replace it with the remote HTTP config pointing to https://mcp.sanity.io as shown in the configuration example.
MCP client does not support type: http transport
Check that your MCP client is updated to a recent version. Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code all support HTTP transport. For older clients that only support stdio, visit mcp.sanity.io for alternative connection options.
