| Client coverage | ||
| Client coverage details | Not documented | Claude Code✓ Local stdio Claude Desktop✓ Local stdio Codex✓ Local stdio VS Code✓ Local stdio Cursor✓ Local stdio OpenCode✓ Local stdio |
| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | OAuth by default; Lucid Team and Enterprise users can also authenticate with an API key. | Contentful Management API PAT |
| Cost | No separate MCP fee is documented. Lucid offers free and paid plans; account/product capabilities depend on the selected plan. | Contentful account/plan limits apply |
| Permissions | The MCP can access only documents the authenticated user already has permission to access within the Lucid account; it cannot access documents owned by users outside that account. | Contentful roles + space/environment scope; PROTECTED_ENVIRONMENTS can block env-scoped writes/deletes |
| Data handling | Lucid states that its MCP server acts as a pass-through and does not retain document content, user prompts, or queries. User credentials are not shared outside the Lucid account. | Content/asset metadata to Contentful CMA under configured token/space/environment |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | The MCP can expose and operate on diagrams/documents the user can access. The main risk is unintended disclosure or modification of collaborative Lucid content within the user's existing permissions. | CVE-2026-53957 fixed from 1.7.19; current source 1.21.1 |
