There are no idempotency keys, the only official client library is JavaScript, audit logs are Enterprise only, and prices are in euros with no machine payment route.\n\n**Prismic.** The hosted MCP server stages every write as a draft in a release, cannot delete, and publishes only when a user with the Publisher role asks. Write tokens for the Migration, Asset and Types APIs have no scopes, no OpenAPI file was found, writes are limited to one request a second, and the acceptable use policy forbids access by scripts.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### DatoCMS\n\n1. Send `X-Api-Version: 3` and `Accept: application/json` on every request, with `Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json` on writes\n2. Records are `items`, models are `item_types` and assets are `uploads` in every path and payload\n3. Save a record, then call the publish endpoint as a separate PUT. Send `meta.current_version` on updates and re-fetch on `STALE_ITEM_VERSION`\n4. Stay under 60 requests every 3 seconds. On 429 wait the seconds in `x-ratelimit-reset`, and retry any error whose body has `transient` set to true\n5. Fork a sandbox environment for schema changes and promote it when checked. Use `POST /items/validate` to test a payload without saving it\n\n### Prismic\n\n1. Ask a repository Administrator to activate Prismic MCP in Settings first. Activation can take several minutes, and each environment has its own setting\n2. Call `list_repositories`, then `get_custom_type` or `get_shared_slice` for the empty content template before `create_document`\n3. Create a release with `create_release` and write into it. Call `publish_release` only on an explicit request, because a publish cannot be undone through MCP\n4. For the Migration API send `Authorization: Bearer \u003cwrite token\u003e` and a `repository` header, one page a request, one request a second, and keep each returned `id` for later PUT calls\n5. Upload media first (`upload_asset` or POST to `https://asset-api.prismic.io/assets`) and reference the asset `id` in image and media link fields\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, DatoCMS or Prismic?\n\nDatoCMS scores 74.4 (BB) on agent readiness against Prismic's 61.9 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do DatoCMS and Prismic need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call DatoCMS and Prismic without installing anything?\n\nYes.
