degree-dynamicweb-mcp
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for DynamicWeb 10 Admin API. Gives Claude Code full access to manage DynamicWeb item types, fields, pages, paragraphs, and API discovery - without touching the DW Admin UI.
Tools
Item Types
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
dw_itemtype_list |
List all item types |
dw_itemtype_get |
Get item type details and restrictions |
dw_itemtype_create |
Create item type with fields, groups, and restrictions in one call |
dw_itemtype_update_settings |
Update settings (name, category, icon, availability, etc.) |
dw_itemtype_update_restrictions |
Update restrictions (allowed parents, children, websites, etc.) |
dw_itemtype_delete |
Delete an item type |
Schema maintenance
Deploying item type XML does not touch the database. Until the schema is synced, a field whose column is missing saves without error and keeps nothing.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
dw_itemtype_health |
Report fields whose DB column is missing, and columns the XML no longer declares |
dw_itemtype_sync_schema |
Reload item type XML and create the missing tables and columns |
dw_itemtype_usages |
List the pages and paragraphs that use an item type |
dw_itemtype_clean_table |
Destructive. Delete orphaned rows from an item type's table |
After deploying new XML: dw_itemtype_sync_schema, then dw_itemtype_health. The sync endpoint answers "ok" even when it aborted partway, so the health check is what tells you whether it worked - and /Files/System/Log/items/ActivationWorkflow holds the real errors. An item type whose table is missing entirely does not appear in the health report at all.
Fields
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
dw_field_list |
List fields on an item type |
dw_field_save |
Add or update a field |
dw_field_delete |
Delete a field |
dw_field_types |
List all available editor types from the DW instance (not hardcoded) |
Pages
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
dw_page_list |
List pages, optionally filtered by area or parent |
dw_page_get |
Get a page with all item fields |
dw_page_create |
Create a page under a parent |
dw_page_set_fields |
Set item field values on a page |
dw_page_delete |
Delete a page |
dw_area_list |
List all areas (websites) |
Paragraphs
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
dw_paragraph_list |
List paragraphs on a page |
dw_paragraph_get |
Get a paragraph with all item fields |
dw_paragraph_create |
Create a paragraph on a page |
dw_paragraph_set_fields |
Set item field values on a paragraph |
dw_paragraph_delete |
Delete a paragraph |
dw_page_set_fields and dw_paragraph_set_fields verify their own write. A field name the item type does not declare is an error that lists the names it does have, and after saving they read the item back and return what it now holds. DW answers "ok" whether or not a value was stored, so a typo in a SystemName used to be indistinguishable from a successful write.
Products
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
dw_product_list |
List products, optionally filtered by group or search |
dw_product_get |
Get a single product (full model incl. CustomFields/CategoryFields). Returns {found: false} for a missing product rather than an API error |

dw_product_delete |
Delete one or more products |
dw_product_bulk_discount |
Apply a percentage discount to DefaultPrice across a group or product list |
dw_product_update accepts three input maps:
fields- top-level product fields (Name, DefaultPrice, Stock, etc.)customFields- global product custom field values, keyed by SystemNamecategoryFields- product category field values, keyed by SystemName
Product Schema
Manage the PIM data model: product categories (groups of attributes) and product fields (the attributes themselves).
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
dw_product_field_type_list |
List the 15 product field types (TypeId + aliases) |
dw_product_category_list |
List product categories |
dw_product_category_save |

Local development
If you want to run from source instead of the published package:
git clone https://github.com/Degree-AS/degree-dynamicweb-mcp.git
cd degree-dynamicweb-mcp
npm install
npm run build
Then use "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/degree-dynamicweb-mcp/dist/index.js"] in .mcp.json.
Field Type Aliases
Item type fields (dw_field_save, dw_itemtype_create)
When creating fields, you can use short aliases instead of full .NET class names:
| Alias | Editor |
|---|---|
text |
TextEditor |
longtext |
LongTextEditor |
richtext |
RichTextEditor |
richtextlight |
RichTextEditorLight |
file / image |
FileEditor |
folder |
FolderEditor |
media |
MediaEditor |
link |
LinkEditor |
itemlink |
ItemLinkEditor |
itemrelation |
ItemRelationListEditor |
number |
IntegerEditor |
decimal |
DecimalEditor |
date |
DateEditor |
datetime |
DateTimeEditor |
checkbox |
CheckboxEditor |
checkboxlist |
CheckboxListEditor |
dropdown |
DropDownListEditor |
radiolist |

singleuser |
SingleUserEditor |
usergroup |
SingleUserGroupEditor |
geolocation |
GeolocationEditor |
googlefont |
GoogleFontEditor |
hidden |
HiddenFieldEditor |

Any full .NET editor class name is also accepted. Use dw_field_types to discover all available editors from your DW instance.
Repeatable lists (itemrelation)
itemrelation (ItemRelationListEditor) creates a repeatable list of child items — the generic way to model FAQ items, rows, persons, etc. (instead of fixed numbered slots like Question1..5). It needs two extra params:
| Param | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
itemRelationType |
yes | systemName of the child item type the list holds. Create it first. |
itemSource |
no | where items live. Default CurrentParagraph (rows stored on the owner). |
Create the child item type first, then the parent:
// 1) child row
dw_itemtype_create { systemName: "OpeningHoursRow", fields: [
{ name: "Label", systemName: "Label", type: "text" },
{ name: "Value", systemName: "Value", type: "text" },
]}
// 2) parent with the repeatable list
dw_itemtype_create { systemName: "OpeningHours", fields: [
{ name: "Title", systemName: "Title", type: "text" },
{ name: "Rows", systemName: "Rows", type: "itemrelation", itemRelationType: "OpeningHoursRow" },
]}
The tool emits the required EditorConfiguration + EditorFields (Item type / Item source) and the Int32 underlying type automatically.
Product fields (dw_product_field_save)
Product fields use a different system - integer TypeId from FieldTypeAll, not editor class names:
| Alias | TypeId | Name |
|---|---|---|
text / text255 |
1 | Text (255) |
longtext |
2 | Long text |
checkbox |
3 | Checkbox |
date |
4 | Date |
datetime |
5 | Date/Time |
number / integer |
6 | Integer |
decimal |
7 | Decimal |
link |
8 | Link |
file |
9 | File |
text100 |
10 | Text (100) |
text50 |
11 | Text (50) |
text20 |
12 | Text (20) |
text5 |
13 | Text (5) |
richtext / editor |
14 | Editor |
list / dropdown |
15 | List |
Numeric TypeId is also accepted directly. Use dw_product_field_type_list to fetch the live list from your DW instance.

delivery.ts Read-only Delivery API
discovery.ts Swagger search, endpoint schema, raw API calls
DW API surfaces
The DynamicWeb Admin API has three calling conventions:
- Admin API (
GET /admin/api/{Endpoint}) - queries with URL params - Command API (
POST /admin/api/{Endpoint}) - mutations with{ Model: {...} }body. Delete commands use flat body (no Model wrapper). - Update API (
POST /Admin/Api/{Endpoint}?Query.Type={Type}) - updates existing records with{ QueryData: {...}, model: {...} }body
DwClient has dedicated methods for each: get(), post(), command(), update(), delivery().
Development
npm run dev # Run with tsx (hot reload)
npm run build # Compile TypeScript
npm run start # Run compiled version
After changes, run npm run build and restart Claude Code to pick up the new version.
