Contentrain AI

AI skills and rules for managing Contentrain CMS content across all AI tools.

Works with or without MCP — when the @contentrain/mcp server is available, AI agents use it for git-synced operations. When it's not, they fall back to direct file editing with the same rules.

What's Included

File	Tool	Type	Description
skills/contentrain/SKILL.md	Claude Code	Auto-invoked skill	Claude automatically uses this when working with Contentrain projects
commands/contentrain.md	Claude Code	/contentrain command	User-invoked slash command for content management
.mcp.json	Claude Code	MCP config	Connects @contentrain/mcp server for git-synced operations
cursor/contentrain.mdc	Cursor	Rule	Activates when editing files in contentrain/ directory

Setup

Claude Code (Plugin)

Install as a Claude Code plugin:

claude plugin add /path/to/contentrain-ai

This gives you:

• Auto-invoked skill (Claude uses it automatically for Contentrain projects)
• /contentrain slash command
• MCP server integration (if @contentrain/mcp is installed globally)

Claude Code (Manual)

Copy the skill to your commands directory:

cp commands/contentrain.md ~/.claude/commands/contentrain.md

Cursor

Copy the rule to your project's Cursor rules:

mkdir -p .cursor/rules
cp cursor/contentrain.mdc .cursor/rules/contentrain.mdc

Or install globally:

mkdir -p ~/.cursor/rules
cp cursor/contentrain.mdc ~/.cursor/rules/contentrain.mdc

MCP Server (Optional)

For git-synced operations (auto commit + push), install the MCP server:

npm install -g @contentrain/mcp

The .mcp.json in this plugin will automatically connect to it.

How It Works
