Question 1

What is Drush MCP?

Accepted Answer

Drush MCP (Multi-site Control Plane) is an external Node.js server that enables AI agents (like Claude Code, Gemini CLI) to interact with Drupal 10+/11+ sites by executing Drush commands across local, SSH, or Docker environments. It streamlines Drupal management and automation.

Question 2

How does Drush MCP connect to Drupal sites?

Accepted Answer

Drush MCP supports multiple connection methods: local shell, SSH, and Docker. It features dynamic Docker container resolution, allowing it to connect to ephemeral environments (e.g., Coolify, Docker Compose) by filtering for active containers.

Question 3

What kind of operations can AI agents perform using Drush MCP?

Accepted Answer

AI agents can utilize 17 specialized tools for Drupal, including comprehensive entity management (create, read, update, list, delete), cache rebuilding, logging, site status checks, configuration management, user management, and even executing arbitrary Drush commands or PHP code.

Question 4

Does Drush MCP require additional Drupal modules?

Accepted Answer

No, Drush MCP can function without any Drupal modules using its built-in Drush command execution capabilities. For more structured entity operations and introspection, installing the optional `bloomidea/drush-mcp-bridge` Composer package on your Drupal site is recommended.

Question 5

How does Drush MCP handle multi-site Drupal installations?

Accepted Answer

Drush MCP offers built-in multi-site management from a single server instance. When multiple sites are configured (via CLI, YAML, or ENV), all tools accept a 'site' parameter, allowing AI agents to target specific Drupal sites easily.
