Directus MCP server

What the model can do

Directus, generically over the customer's own data model: collections and their fields, items with filters, search and sorting, files, users, the activity log and comments. Can create, change and delete items, add, edit and delete comments, change or delete files, create folders, promote content versions, and invite, suspend, reactivate or delete users.

Reads

Acts, when you ask

These change something in Directus. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and each one is granted by name: per team on a shared connection, by the owner on a personal one.

• directus_create_itemCreate one item in a Directus collection, with the given field values.
• directus_update_itemChange fields of an existing Directus item.
• directus_delete_itemPermanently delete one Directus item.
• directus_add_commentAdd a comment to a Directus item, as the token's user (Directus 11 or later).
• directus_update_commentReplace the text of an existing Directus comment.
• directus_delete_commentPermanently delete a Directus comment.
• directus_update_fileChange a Directus file's details: title, description, download file name, folder or tags.
• directus_delete_filePermanently delete a file from the Directus library, with its stored contents.
• directus_create_folderCreate a folder in the Directus file library, optionally inside another folder.
• directus_invite_userInvite one person to Directus: creates a user with status invited and the given role, and Directus emails them a link to set up their account.
• directus_update_user_statusSuspend a Directus user (they can no longer sign in and their tokens stop working) or make a suspended user active again.
• directus_delete_userPermanently delete a Directus user.
• directus_promote_versionPromote a Directus content version: its changes OVERWRITE the live item (or create it, for a version of a new item).

Connect it

First connect Directus on Dashboard → Connections, then add Memtro to your client once. The Directus tools appear alongside the tools of everything else you have connected; nothing is configured per connector.

Who may use it

The key identifies the person, and the server offers that person the tools they may use everywhere else in Memtro. A shared Directus connection is used by the teams an administrator granted it to, tool by tool, on the Permissions page; a personal connection is used by its owner alone, and its tools that act stay off until the owner allows them. See Teams and permissions and Connectors.

Questions

Is this an official Directus MCP server?

No. It is Memtro's MCP server with Memtro's Directus connector behind it: the connector reads Directus through its API with the credentials you connect on Dashboard → Connections, and Directus publishes nothing here. The same endpoint carries every other system you connect and Memtro's memory tools.

What does it cost?

Nothing on top of Memtro. One price per organisation by its number of users, from $50 a month for up to 10 users after a 7-day free trial, with every connector, the MCP server, jobs and memory included. You bring your own model keys.

Can it change anything in Directus?

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: create an item in a Directus collection; change fields of a Directus item; delete a Directus item; add a comment to a Directus item; edit a Directus comment; delete a Directus comment; change a Directus file's title, description, download name, folder or tags; delete a Directus file; create a folder in the Directus file library; invite a person to Directus by email with a role; suspend or reactivate a Directus user; delete a Directus user; promote a Directus content version to the live item. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. An administrator grants each acting tool by name per team, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Which clients work?

Any MCP client that speaks Streamable HTTP: Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, OpenCode, Codex, Zed, Windsurf, Cline and the Anthropic and OpenAI SDKs. There is no local process to run; the server is remote and authenticated with your key.
