Capa Assistant

The assistant that shows its work.

Ask for a model, a field or a round of edits. Capa plans the change, shows you every field and connection, and waits for your yes.

1Ask in plain words.

What it does

Models, entries and media. Just ask.

The Assistant lives in the admin, next to your work. It knows the project you have open: its models, its fields and its content.

Models

Create and change models.

Ask for a model or a new field. You see each field, its type and every link to other models before anything changes.

Add a Sponsors model, and let each team have several.

Here’s the plan.

SponsorsNew model · 4 fields
Teams+ SponsorsModel · a list
Create modelEdit plan
Entries

Draft entries from your notes.

Paste your notes and say where they go. The Assistant writes each entry as a draft, in the fields your model already has.

Write race reports for the last three rounds from these notes.

Three drafts in Race reports.

Monza: the two-stop gamble that paid offDraft
Suzuka: rain, then a late chargeDraft
Interlagos: a first win for Ines DuarteDraft
Bulk edits

Tidy and tag in bulk.

Fill empty fields, fix names and add tags across a whole model. Every edit is a draft you can check.

Tag every 2026 car with season-2026, and fix how their names are written.

16 edits, saved as drafts.

Media

Fix missing alt text.

It finds images with no alt text, describes each one, and saves nothing until you approve.

Find images with no alt text and suggest some.

Three images have none. Here’s what I’d write:

A red car leaving the pit lane at dusk
Two drivers spraying champagne on the podium
A front wing on a stand in the garage
Save all threeOne by one
Review

Nothing changes until you say yes.

The Assistant proposes and you decide. Model changes run only when you approve the plan. Content edits land as drafts in Publish, next to your team’s, and nothing goes live on its own.

  1. 01

    Plans before changes

    Model changes show their fields and links first, and run only when you approve.

  2. 02

    Drafts, not live edits

    Content edits are saved as drafts, with versions, the same as anyone’s on your team.

  3. 03

    People publish

    Drafts wait in Publish with every other change. Check the diff, then publish or schedule.

Scope

It does what you can do. Nothing more.

The Assistant works inside each person’s access. Teams and roles set the projects, models and actions everyone gets, and the Assistant follows the same rules for whoever is asking.

Add a Sponsors model, and let each team have several.

Changing models isn’t part of your access in Paddock. Someone with Developer or Admin access can add it.

I can still draft and edit race reports for you.

MCP

Bring your own agent.

The Assistant lives in your admin. To work from your own editor or terminal, Claude, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor connect through the Capa MCP server. They read with your key and see exactly what it sees, so the query your page needs is checked against real content. It never writes content.

Terminal
# Connect Claude Code to your project
$ claude mcp add capa \
    -e CAPA_API_URL=https://cdn.capacms.com \
    -e CAPA_KEY="$CAPA_KEY" \
    -- npx -y @capacms/mcp

# Then ask in plain words
> Which authors do we have?

  • capa_graphql_queryRun a query against your content
  • capa_explain_errorExplain an API error from a log or a failed call
  • 19 tools in all. Reads run with your key; the two that write change editor layouts and workspaces, never content.

What will you ask first?

Ask Capa for a model, a draft, a round of tags or alt text.
