## Description

This MCP server provides comprehensive access to Directus CMS instances through HTTP streaming support, enabling AI assistants to manage content, schema, and workflows within headless CMS environments. Built by JoshTheDerf using TypeScript with the Directus SDK and Model Context Protocol, it offers tools for CRUD operations on collections and items, file management with Base64 encoding for image analysis, field and schema manipulation, flow triggering for automation, user management with permission checking, and dynamic prompt management stored within Directus collections. The implementation uses stateless HTTP transport with access token authentication, includes intelligent schema fetching that filters system fields while preserving file/user relations, supports markdown conversion, comment management with user mentions, and provides configurable tool filtering with safety defaults like disabling delete operations. It's valuable for AI assistants that need to manage content workflows, automate publishing processes, or provide intelligent content editing capabilities within Directus-powered applications.
