## Set up the Contentful connector

Configure the Contentful connector in [AI Studio](https://app.writer.com/aistudio) under **Connectors & Tools**.

Dynamic client registration means Contentful dynamically creates and manages OAuth credentials during the setup process. You don’t need to create your own OAuth application or provide a client ID and client secret.

### Configure the connector in AI Studio

Create the connector profile and connection settings in AI Studio:

1. Navigate to **Connectors & Tools** in [AI Studio](https://app.writer.com/aistudio)
2. Search for **Contentful** and select the connector
3. On the **Profile** step, enter a profile name and description for the connector, and select who has access by default (all users or specific teams)
4. Select **Next** to continue to the **Type** step
5. Select the connection level: user level (each user authenticates their own account) or org level (shared connection to a single account)
6. Select **Dynamic client registration** as the **Managed by** option
7. Select **Next** to continue to the **Tools** step
8. Select which tools to enable for your agents, then select **Save**

### Authorize the connector in Contentful

When the OAuth authorization flow opens Contentful, grant access to your organization, spaces, and tool categories:

01. Log in to your Contentful account when prompted
02. Select **Authorize** to allow the Contentful Remote MCP application to access your content
03. Select the **Organization** where you install Contentful’s Remote MCP Server
04. Under **Select spaces and environments**, select the **Space** and **Environment** to grant access to
05. Select **Add row** to grant access to additional spaces or environments
06. Under **Configure Contentful access**, select which tool categories the MCP server can access for the selected space and environment (for example, entries, assets, content types, environments, or AI Actions)
07. Choose read-only or read/write access for each category you enable
08. Expand **Content lifecycle actions** to configure entry-related actions like publishing and archiving
09. Select **I recognize and trust this URL** to confirm the redirect URL, then select **Agree** to authorize the WRITER MCP Client
10. Confirm you see **Connected to Contentful**, then close the tab
