About this site
This website functions as a bridge between the official documentation and the Contentstack Academy, with a strong focus on real world engineering challenges. It features in depth technical articles, architecture breakdowns, implementation patterns, performance considerations, and recorded live coding sessions. Rather than repeating the docs, it expands on them by showing how and why certain approaches work in production environments.
We are fully AI ready
This website offers a bunch of different options for AI Agents. All blogposts, guides, live streams and kickstarts can be viewed in markdown. Additionally we offer an agents.md file for LLMs to learn how to browse this site and as the cherry on top, we offer an MCP that helps you to learn about Contentstack from your favorite AI assistant.
For AI agents: find /index.md, /agents.md, and /.well-known/mcp
Official Contentstack Documentation
Learn about Home Page in Contentstack's comprehensive documentation. Get step-by-step guides, code examples, and best practices.
Agents are users now and this website is ready
AI assistants are now part of every developer's workflow. This post covers why we built developers.contentstack.com to serve both humans and agents, and how to connect any MCP-capable client to start building on top of it in minutes.
