Super excited to introduce the official Directus MCP server to our community.
Now you can easily interact with your Directus data inside your favorite AI tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Raycast.
Some good use cases to get started with:
- Automate page building and publishing content from Google Docs.
- Leverage AI to analyze your data to generate insights and reports using natural language.
- Automatic asset organization so no more folders full of

I did everything in the video but the mcp server did not start in claude desktop?
Are there any extra instructions missing? Example, setting up the mcp repo provided on github locally, I’ve done my best to follow the instructions but still. I just want to be able to create new reusable blocks in directus and my svelte site, why is this so difficult to do.
Hi there 
and welcome to the community!
Do you have node installed?
Have you double checked your configuration?
Can you provide the specific errors you received?

Is it possible to create flow with it ?
No, not currently. We’re reviewing this and other “admin” oriented tools in a future release.
You can view the available tools here.

This is super cool, but I’d love to use it with n8n. Is there any way to do that at this time? Wire up the Directus MCP Server to an n8n MCP Client?
I ported this to a Directus endpoint extension using HTTP Streaming to allow hosting the MCP server directly with your Directus instance and connect to it with a URL: GitHub - JoshTheDerf/directus-extension-mcp
