Concrete capability record

Data, retrieval, actions, identity, and operating limits

A field-by-field summary of what the reviewed first-party references actually support. Publisher update dates and BYO-UI review dates are shown separately below.

01 · Records and state owned

Operational server reads schemas/project context, runs GROQ, creates and patches documents, generates images, manages datasets and releases, deploys schemas and Studio; Sanity Context supplies schema-aware read-only dataset access

02 · Data you can retrieve

Operational server reads schemas/project context, runs GROQ, creates and patches documents, generates images, manages datasets and releases, deploys schemas and Studio; Sanity Context supplies schema-aware read-only dataset access

03 · Actions and write paths

No Sanity MCP write was verified; the documented MCP surface is read-only. Use a separately authorized API or the native UI for mutations and do not attribute those writes to MCP.

04 · Authentication and permissions

Official Sanity documentation confirms hosted OAuth or token authentication, active GA releases and MCP App widgets. Distinguish the broad operational server from Sanity Context, which is intentionally read-only and typically dataset-scoped.

05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery

Official Sanity documentation confirms hosted OAuth or token authentication, active GA releases and MCP App widgets.

Evidence and dates

First-party references, with publisher and review dates separated

“Publisher updated” is shown only when the page exposes an update date. “BYO-UI reviewed” records when this research checked the reference. A missing publisher date is reported as missing—not replaced with the review date.
