Opti FAQs

Question 1

What is Opti and its main purpose?

Accepted Answer

Opti is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server library for Optimizely CMS 12. It's designed for local development, exposing content operations as callable HTTP tools, enabling AI assistants to interact with and manage your Optimizely content programmatically.

Question 2

What specific content operations can Opti perform?

Accepted Answer

Opti allows AI assistants to fetch content items by ID, list children of content nodes, create new content (pages, blocks), update existing properties, publish content, soft-delete items by moving them to trash, resolve friendly URLs, and list all registered content types with their properties.

Question 3

What are the core requirements to use Opti?

Accepted Answer

To use Opti, you need an Optimizely CMS 12 project, .NET 8 or .NET 10, and a local SQL Server development database. It's crucial to integrate it into your development project configuration (e.g., using `#if DEBUG` directives) to prevent accidental deployment to non-development environments.

Question 4

How does Opti integrate with AI assistants to manage content?

Accepted Answer

Opti provides a `/mcp` HTTP endpoint that AI clients can connect to using the Streamable HTTP transport. This allows AI assistants to use predefined tools like `create_content`, `update_content`, `get_content`, and `publish_content`, streamlining content workflows and even guiding page and block creation.

Question 5

Is Opti suitable for production environments?

Accepted Answer

**No, Opti is strictly for local development and local databases only.** It exposes unauthenticated content read/write operations over HTTP, making it a severe security risk if deployed in production or any shared environment. It should only be installed in development project configurations.
