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**Storyblok.** The hosted MCP server covers the whole Management API with seven tools, OAuth scopes split into read, write and publish per space, and a confirmation step on deletes. The Management API has no public OpenAPI spec, no idempotency keys and no monitor on the public status page, and publishing is a GET request.\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### Storyblok\n\n1. Pick the base URL by the space's region (mapi.storyblok.com for the EU, api-us, api-ca or api-ap otherwise). A token sent to the wrong region fails\n2. Create stories without `publish` to keep them as drafts, then call the publish endpoint. It is a GET, so never prefetch or blindly retry it\n3. Write translations as `field__i18n__\u003ccode\u003e` keys inside the same content object, and set the component field to translatable first\n4. Upload an asset in three steps (signed response, POST to S3, finish upload). Through MCP the S3 step needs shell access for curl\n5. Stay under 3 calls a second on Starter and 6 on paid plans, and back off exponentially on 429. Saves that break a field's max_length return 422\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, DatoCMS or Storyblok?\n\nDatoCMS scores 74.4 (BB) on agent readiness against Storyblok's 67.7 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do DatoCMS and Storyblok need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call DatoCMS and Storyblok without installing anything?\n\nYes.
