Flotiq MCP with Claude: Publish and Manage Structured Content Through Natural Language
The short answer
Claude works with Flotiq through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that gives Claude secure, permissioned access to the tool. Once connected with an API key, Claude can create content entries, update content types, search published data and manage media, all from natural language instructions, with people approving important changes.
What is Flotiq?
Flotiq is an API-first headless content management system. It stores content types, entries, media and search in one place, separate from the website or app that displays them. Digital teams, content editors, product managers and developers use it to publish structured content quickly across websites, mobile apps and other digital products, so the same information can be reused everywhere it is needed.
How Claude connects to Flotiq through MCP
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets Claude securely use other software. Think of it as a universal adapter between Claude and a tool. It lets Claude read information from the tool and take actions in it, using permissions that your organisation controls.
Once Flotiq is connected through its MCP server or a secure managed connector, Claude can read content types and entries, search published data, create new entries, update existing content and manage media files. Your team describes the task in plain English and Claude carries out the steps inside Flotiq.
Permissions and approvals keep people in charge. Access is limited to what the task needs, using an API key scoped for the purpose. Consequential actions, such as publishing live content or changing content types, can require a named person to approve them first, and every action can be logged for review.
What you can automate
Drafting and publishing product entries
A product team describes a new item in plain language. Claude creates a structured entry in Flotiq with the right fields, such as name, specification and price, and places it in draft for review. Once approved, the entry is published and becomes available to the website and mobile app that read from Flotiq.
Keeping content types up to date
When a business adds a new kind of information, such as a case study template or a regional offer, an administrator can ask Claude to update the relevant content type. Claude can add fields or adjust the structure, and the change is reviewed before it affects live content. This avoids manual edits in the admin screens.
Searching published content for answers
Support and marketing staff often need to check what has already been published. Claude can search Flotiq's published data and summarise matching entries, such as all current product guides for a region. This saves time when preparing replies or planning campaigns.
Managing media libraries
Designers and content editors can ask Claude to upload, tag or organise media files in Flotiq. For example, a marketing lead might request that all images from a recent event are labelled and linked to the right articles. Claude carries out the routine handling so the creative team can focus on the work itself.
Preparing multi-channel content
A communications team can ask Claude to take one set of structured entries and prepare versions for different channels, such as a website section and an app screen. Claude pulls the relevant entries from Flotiq and assembles them for review, keeping the source content consistent across every digital product.
An end-to-end workflow: Event announcement publishing
TriggerA marketing manager adds an event request to the team's ticketing system and assigns it to the content team.
Claude reads the event request from the ticketing system and the event details from the shared planning document in Microsoft 365.
Claude creates a draft event entry in Flotiq with the title, date, venue, speakers and the agreed image from the media library.
Claude searches Flotiq for existing related entries, such as past events, and links them to the new entry where relevant.
The draft is sent to the marketing manager for review inside the approval step.
Once approved, Claude publishes the entry in Flotiq and updates the ticket with a link to the live content for the team.
OutcomeEvent pages reach the website and mobile app faster, with fewer copy errors, and the content team spends less time on repetitive data entry. Results will vary by organisation and workflow.
How we set it up
Free automation audit
We review how your team creates and publishes content today and identify the workflows in Flotiq worth automating, such as entry creation, media handling or search.
Connect Flotiq to Claude
We connect Claude to Flotiq through its MCP server or a secure managed connector, using an API key with least-privilege access so Claude only reaches what each task needs.
Design the end-to-end workflow
We map the workflow across Flotiq and your other systems, such as Microsoft 365, your CRM or ticketing tool, and define which actions need a person's approval before they go live.
Test and launch with monitoring
We test the workflow against real past content, then launch with monitoring and audit logs so every change made through Claude can be reviewed.
Team training
We train editors, administrators and managers on how to ask Claude for tasks in plain language, how approvals work and what to check after each action.

For teams in the US, UK, India and the Middle East
Organisations in the United States and the United Kingdom can host the Claude integration in their chosen region to support their data protection obligations. Businesses in India must consider the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, when handling personal data in content. Organisations in the UAE and Saudi Arabia must meet their local data protection laws. The hosting region for any custom application is chosen to meet these requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Flotiq MCP server do?
The Flotiq MCP server acts as a secure bridge between Claude and Flotiq. It lets Claude create content entries, update content types, search published data and manage media through natural language, within the permissions you set. Where a direct API connection suits better, the same tasks can be handled that way instead.
Is it secure to connect Claude to Flotiq?
Security depends on how the connection is set up. We use an API key with the least access needed for each task, and we keep people in control of consequential actions through approval steps. Every action can be logged, so your team can see what changed. We design each connection around your organisation's own security requirements.
What can Claude do with Flotiq once connected?
Typically, Claude can read content types and entries, search published data, create new entries, update existing content and manage media files. The exact actions depend on how the connection is configured and which permissions you grant. We agree this scope with you during the audit.
How long does setup take?
Timelines depend on the number of workflows and the systems involved. A focused integration with one or two workflows is often quicker than a multi-system project. After the free automation audit, we give you a clear plan and timeline before any work begins.
Which plan or permissions do I need?
Generally, you need access to your Flotiq account and an API key with permissions for the content types and media your workflows use. Your Flotiq plan determines the features available to you. We confirm your account setup and the required permissions during the audit.
