- Identify the dataset you wish to use (commonly named
production, but could be different).
- Copy the dataset name.

Settings → API → Tokens.

- Use
developer for full access to all MCP tools.
- Use
editor for content management only.
Fill in the FastMCP Connection Interface

SANITY_PROJECT_ID: (Paste your copied Project ID)SANITY_DATASET: (Paste your dataset name)SANITY_API_TOKEN: (Paste the API token you just generated)MCP_USER_ROLE: (Enter either developer or editor as chosen in the previous step)
Save and Continue

Security Tip: Use different API tokens for development and production environments, never share or commit your token, and periodically rotate your token for maximum security.
