Storyblok vs WordPress

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.

WordPress

The REST API is part of core, and a post created without a status is saved as a draft with revisions kept on the owner's server. Application Passwords carry no scopes, so limits come only from the user's role. Revisions can be read and deleted but not restored over REST, and a critical flaw was fixed on 22 September 2026.

Storyblok

1. 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
2. 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
3. Write translations as field__i18n__<code> keys inside the same content object, and set the component field to translatable first
4. Upload an asset in three steps (signed response, POST to S3, finish upload). Through MCP the S3 step needs shell access for curl
5. 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

WordPress

1. Ask the owner for a dedicated user with the lowest role that fits. A Contributor can draft and edit its own posts but can't publish them
2. Send the Application Password as Basic auth over HTTPS only. Core disables Application Passwords on plain HTTP outside a local environment
3. Upload a file with POST /wp-json/wp/v2/media first, then set featured_media or reference the returned URL in the post content
4. To roll back, GET /wp/v2/posts/<id>/revisions/<rev>?context=edit and POST its title and content to the post. There's no restore route
5. Pass _fields=id,status,link,modified on lists and read X-WP-TotalPages. per_page stops at 100
