Quick start: choose your path
You can get started in a few different ways with Contentstack. Use the CLI, grab a kickstarter from the Marketplace, or start from scratch.
With the CLI
Use our CLI to get started
npm install -g @contentstack/cliSet your region and log in
csdx config:set:region AWS-EU
csdx auth:loginBootstrap
csdx cm:bootstrap --app-name "kickstarter Next.js" You can also just seed a stack
csdx cm:stacks:seed --repo "contentstack/kickstart-stack-seed" --org "<ORG_ID>"With a Kickstarter
Contentstack Kickstarts are minimal, opinionated starter projects that remove boilerplate and provide the fastest path from zero to a fully wired Contentstack integration, from simple framework connections to advanced rendering patterns and production-ready templates.

This website is optimised for AI agents
We built this site with the notion users and AI agents will consume it. With that in mind we have created a few things.
This website offers an http streamable MCP server to query it's content with different tools: content_search, content_get, people_get_profile, people_list.
{
"mcpServers": {
"contentstack": {
"transport": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://developers.contentstack.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}
}To make Agents happy we have:
- Markdown views for core content. Long-form resources are available in markdown, including .md routes and markdown content negotiation.
- /agents.md for autonomous behavior guidance. Agents get explicit policy, scope, and safe usage expectations.
- /llms.txt for LLM-friendly discovery. Models can find structure quickly without playing guesswork games.
- /sitemap.md for content map readability. Humans and models can both inspect the catalog in a compact format.
- API endpoints and OpenAPI spec for the whole website.
