Cosmic

by Cosmic Inc. HTTP API in CMS & website publishing

Hosted Local Agent-ready

Cosmic Inc. · cosmicjs.com · status page · who's behind it

Cosmic is a hosted headless CMS with a REST API, a TypeScript SDK, a CLI and a hosted MCP server. Agents read and write objects, media and object types, generate media, and can create a project by agent signup.

Best for Teams that want an agent to set up and fill a hosted CMS end to end, including signup.

Claim this listing

Is this your product? Claim it to see how agents find it: lookups through the API, MCP and letme, the comparisons it's in, and what people search for in CMS. Free, and it never changes the grade. Or verify it, or log in if it's already claimed.

Assessment. Cosmic gives agents 24 annotated MCP tools with when-to-use descriptions, a read-only mode by key, documented limits and an agent signup API that returns working keys before a human claims the project. It holds no SOC 2 or ISO certification by its own statement, and read keys can travel in the URL.

From our research 6 facts checked against the vendor's pages
Surface listed
The hosted MCP server at mcp.cosmicjs.com, the bucket REST API at api.cosmicjs.com/v3 and the agent signup API at dapi.cosmicjs.com, read from www.cosmicjs.com (llms.txt, Markdown docs, openapi.json, pricing.md, security, terms, privacy, changelog), the cosmicjs/mcp repository, the MCP registry and the status page on 6 November 2026. No account was made and no tool was called
MCP tools
Objects (list, get, create, update, delete), media, object types and AI generation of text, images, video and audio into the media library, plus cosmic_agent_signup and two related tools on the agent scope
Drafts and revisions
Objects have draft and published status; revisions are kept for 30 to 365 days by plan, and reading or restoring them needs the Revision History add-on
Limits
100 non-cached requests a second, burst 200, 30-second timeout, 6 MB request and response size, 900 MB uploads; monthly request quotas by plan
Data location
Content in a replicated MongoDB Atlas cluster, per the security FAQ
Legal entity
Cosmic Inc., per the MCP server's MIT licence; the terms and privacy policy say Cosmic JS, Plano, Texas

Facts verified 6 November 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown

Strengths

  • Agent signup API provisions a project and bucket with keys, idempotent per email and agent
  • 24 MCP tools with readOnlyHint and destructiveHint, and descriptions that say when to use each
  • Leaving out the write key gives read-only MCP access
  • OpenAPI spec, llms.txt and Markdown docs with an error model and per-code retry guidance
  • Free plan with no card and published prices and quotas for every paid plan

Weaknesses

  • No SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA certification, by the security page's own statement
  • The REST API accepts the read key as a URL query parameter
  • Revision history, webhooks and localisation are paid add-ons
  • The OpenAPI spec covers 21 operations, fewer than the documented API
  • Data is kept indefinitely unless deletion is requested

Before you call it notes for agents

  1. Send only the read key in the Bearer token unless the task needs writes
  2. Use cosmic_agent_signup when the user has no Cosmic account, and hand the human the claim URL within 14 days
  3. Fix and don't retry on 400; wait and retry on 429
  4. Use props, depth=0 and cursor pagination with after to stay under the 6 MB response limit
  5. Confirm with the user before cosmic_objects_delete, which deletes permanently

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.

The terms and privacy policy were last updated on 13 January 2025 and name Cosmic JS at 3208 Bonniebrook Dr, Plano, Texas. The MCP server's licence names Cosmic Inc.

The terms forbid using a robot or spider to copy or scrape the website without written permission; recorded as a fact. www.cosmicjs.com/robots.txt allows all crawlers, including ClaudeBot, except /api/, /search, /community/members/ and /v3/.

www.cosmicjs.com/.well-known/security.txt returned 404. The security page asks for vulnerability reports at support@cosmicjs.com.

cosmicstatus.com redirects to a Statuspage at cosmicjs.statuspage.io with API and Web Dashboard components.

Cosmic Inc. on LinkedIn @cosmicjs GitHub

Backed byY Combinator

Researched 6 November 2026 from public pages. Cosmic's Y Combinator page (Winter 2019 batch, status Active, read 6 November 2026) names Tony Spiro as Founder/CEO and links his LinkedIn and X accounts; his GitHub profile, a public member of the cosmicjs organisation, reads "CEO @cosmicjs". He bylines the blog. The about page names no leaders. Dallas Innovates reported on 10 November 2017 that Tony Spiro and Carson Gibbons co-founded Cosmic JS and that it was finishing a $250,000 angel round including "several founding members of Stripe"; Carson Gibbons's current role isn't on a first-hand page and the angels aren't named, so neither is listed. Y Combinator is the only named investor found. No total raised is given because no source states one for all rounds. The MCP licence names Cosmic Inc. and the terms and privacy policy Cosmic JS in Plano, Texas. Shown for information, not part of the grade yet. People's accounts link to their own profiles; check them before you rely on one.

Score breakdown methodology v0.7 · October 2026 research run

Assessed on 6 November 2026 from public evidence, against the published checklist. Confidence medium. Performance and Task success are pending until our probes and task suites run, so the total is over the 7 assessed categories, each weight divided by 80.

Graded on the hosted service with the hosted lines. Statuspage at cosmicstatus.com with API and Web Dashboard components (20). The history page shows no incidents in September, October or November 2026, and the newest incident in the feed is from 26 May 2025. The MCP server isn't a component, so 25 of 30. 100 requests a second with a burst of 200, timeouts and size limits are documented (15). 429 is documented and the error page says which codes to fix and not retry; no Retry-After guidance was found. Agent signup is idempotent (12 of 15). The security page says Enterprise has an SLA from 99.95 per cent uptime; the SLA page itself wasn't read (8 of 10). Hosted MCP is announced as available now, with no beta label (10). 20+25+15+12+8+10 = 90.

Tool descriptions say when to use each tool and when not to, such as never calling delete speculatively (18 of 20). 11 enums in the spec, typed metafields and validation messages (11 of 15). Examples on every API page and an error model with a sample (14 of 15). API v3 paths and a dated changelog (15). 20+10+18+11+14+15 = 88.

24 tools, in the 11 to 30 band (15), plus 5 because omitting the write key gives a read-only subset (20 of 25). limit, props, depth, cursor pagination with after, status and locale filters (20). Status codes with specific messages and fix-or-retry guidance per code (17 of 20). readOnlyHint and destructiveHint on the MCP tools; no idempotency keys for writes, though agent signup is idempotent (14 of 20).

Read-only MCP access by leaving out the write key, four user roles on every plan, and a delete tool told not to run speculatively; no approval step (14 of 20). Objects hold text written by people and AI generation writes into the bucket; no prompt-injection guidance was found (3 of 15). An append-only audit log of security-relevant actions on Workspace or Pro plans (10 of 15).

Fix list 16 items, the biggest gain first

Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on Cosmic. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.

What we couldn't check

  • Disclosure. On 6 November 2026 we read cosmicjs.statuspage.io/api/v2/incidents.json and components.json before reading robots.txt, which disallows /api/ on that host. The empty September to November months were then confirmed on the allowed /history page.
  • unchecked: the sub-processor list, which the security page's FAQ holds in a form we couldn't read
  • unchecked: the SLA page referenced from the security page
  • unchecked: GitHub issue activity, because the GitHub API refused us for its rate limit
  • The official MCP registry lists com.cosmicjs/mcp 1.6.0 while the repository is at v1.7.1

For the vendor

Is this your product? Link to this page from your own site or README, then tell us where. It shows people and agents that the listing is yours and that you know it's here. It never changes a grade, rank or review.

  1. Add the badge or a link

    On a light page
    On a dark page
    <a href="https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/cosmic"><img src="https://www.anchorterminal.com/badges/cosmic.svg" alt="Cosmic on Anchor Terminal" height="20"></a>
    [![Cosmic on Anchor Terminal](https://www.anchorterminal.com/badges/cosmic.svg)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/cosmic)

    It counts on a page on cosmicjs.com or one of its subdomains, or the README at the root of github.com/cosmicjs/mcp.

  2. Tell us where it is

    We read it once now and again every week. If the link is missing two weeks in a row the listing says so, and a later check puts it back.

Agents send the same to POST /api/v1/verify as {"slug": "cosmic", "url": "…"}, or call the verify_listing tool at /mcp. Ten checks an hour from one address. What we check. To announce the listing, get sharing assets for social media.

For companies

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
