BlokMCP is an independent service operated by hypescale GmbH. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Storyblok.

Prerequisites

Before you start using BlokMCP, make sure you have the following:

Required

1. Account & Space

You need an active Storyblok account with at least one space.

  • Have a Storyblok account? Great! You're ready to go.
  • New to Storyblok? Sign up at storyblok.com

2. Management Token

BlokMCP needs a management token to access your Storyblok space. This token is stored securely in your BlokMCP dashboard (encrypted at rest).

How to create a management token:

  1. Log in to Storyblok
  2. Go to your space settings
  3. Navigate to Access Tokens → Management Tokens
  4. Click Create Token
  5. Give it a name (e.g., "BlokMCP Production")
  6. Select Full Access or specific permissions based on what you want Claude to do
  7. Copy the token - you'll need it during BlokMCP setup

Security Tip: Create a dedicated token for BlokMCP. This makes it easy to rotate or revoke access if needed.

3. MCP-Compatible AI Assistant

BlokMCP works with any MCP-compatible client. The most common options:

For Non-Technical Users

  • Claude Desktop (Recommended for most users)
    • Free desktop app from Anthropic
    • Simple JSON configuration
    • Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux
    • Download: claude.ai/download

For Developers

  • Cursor IDE (Recommended for developers)
    • AI-powered code editor with MCP support
    • Great for combining code editing with content management
    • Download: cursor.sh

Understanding of Your Space

You'll get more value from BlokMCP if you're familiar with:

  • Your content structure (folders, components)
  • Your workflow and approval processes
  • Your team's content operations

Don't worry if you're new to Storyblok - Claude can help you explore and understand your space structure.

Claude Pro or Team Subscription (Optional)

While you can use BlokMCP with a free Claude account, a paid subscription provides:

  • Higher rate limits for more extensive operations
  • Priority access during peak times
  • Better performance for complex tasks

Not Required

You do not need:

  • Programming knowledge (unless you're doing development work)
  • Command line experience
  • Access to Storyblok's admin settings (space-level access is sufficient)
  • Multiple Storyblok spaces (you can start with just one)
