Error bodies carry a message without a machine code, there are no idempotency keys, audit logs are Enterprise only, and no data processing agreement, sub-processor list or security.txt was found.\n\n**Strapi.** The built-in MCP server shows an agent only the tools, fields and locales its Admin token permits, and content tools create drafts by default. Rollback is the limit. Content History is a paid feature and records admin panel edits only, so API and MCP writes leave no version to restore, and the MCP server can't upload files.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Hygraph\n\n1. Send the Permanent Auth Token as `Authorization: Bearer \u003ctoken\u003e` to `https://\u003cregion\u003e.hygraph.com/v2/\u003cprojectId\u003e/\u003cenvironment\u003e`. Read the schema by introspection first, because every type is generated from the project's models\n2. Mutations write to DRAFT. Call `publish\u003cModel\u003e` with `to: [PUBLISHED]` as a separate mutation, and pass `locales` to write or publish a localisation\n3. Stay under the plan's limit for uncached requests (5 a second on Hobby, 25 on Growth) and its concurrent mutations (5 and 10). Back off exponentially on 429\n4. Upload an asset with `createAsset`, then POST the file to the returned pre-signed URL, or pass `uploadUrl` for a remote file. The asset stays `ASSET_CREATE_PENDING` until processed\n5. Schema changes go to the Management API through `@hygraph/management-sdk` or the MCP tool `submit_batch_migration`. Version restore has no documented mutation, so read `\u003cmodel\u003eVersion` and write the old values back\n\n### Strapi\n\n1. Pass `status=draft` on every REST POST and PUT. Without it the Content API publishes the entry at once\n2. Use an Admin token for `/mcp` and admin routes and an API token for `/api`. Each kind is rejected on the other's routes\n3. Upload files with multipart POST to `/api/upload` first, then reference the returned file id in the entry. MCP tools can't upload\n4. Call `media_delete_assets` and `media_delete_folder` without `dryRun` first to preview, and take asset ids only from `media_list_assets`\n5. Keep your own copy of an entry before updating it. API and MCP writes create no Content History version\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Hygraph or Strapi?\n\nHygraph scores 69.3 (B) on agent readiness against Strapi's 65.7 (B), and leads in 2 of 7 scored categories. Strapi leads on payments \u0026 pricing, maintenance \u0026 community and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Hygraph and Strapi need an API key?\n\nHygraph takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Strapi needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Hygraph and Strapi without installing anything?\n\nHygraph has a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.hygraph.com/mcp. No hosted endpoint is listed for Strapi.\n\n### Are Hygraph and Strapi open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Hygraph. Strapi is open source (MIT for the Community Edition. Code under ee/ directories is under Strapi's Enterprise Edition licence, and Strapi Cloud is a paid service under its own terms).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hygraph-vs-strapi.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hygraph-vs-strapi.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"hygraph\", \"b\": \"strapi\"}`.
