Sanity

DEVOPS
Velocity5.0

Programmable headless content management system with structured content and the GROQ query language

Sanity keeps hardening its agent tooling and Media Library while Studio sheds legacy weight

headless-cmsai-agentsmcpmedia-librarydeveloper-toolingcontent-modeling
Current state
Sanity is shipping across four surfaces in parallel: the Media Library, Sanity Studio, the React App SDK, and its MCP server. The Media Library is maturing into a full asset manager, richer metadata across sidebars, in-use references that now span drafts and content releases, and video versioning. Studio is cleaning up legacy Portable Text editor internals, and the SDK and MCP server keep gaining developer- and agent-facing hooks.
Where it's heading
The through-line is AI-agent readiness: a new skills install command, MCP server tools for feedback, schema deploy, and multi-document patching, plus docs aimed explicitly at coding agents and app builders. Alongside that, the content layer itself is being productized, @sanity/presets ships ready-made schema types to cut modelling boilerplate. Sanity is positioning as the content backend that both humans and agents operate.
Prediction
Expect further MCP server and skills iteration plus continued Media Library depth; the removal of legacy Portable Text data attributes signals more editor-internals migrations to come.

    Media Library: Improved asset metadata, in-use references, and clearer duplicate upload feedback

    Fits the Media-Library-as-asset-manager arc: richer metadata across sidebar views, in-use references that now cover draft documents and releases rather than only published content, and clearer duplicate-upload feedback, plus a fix for API-token uploads that previously hung. Incremental but steady maturation.

    Sanity React App SDK v2.15.0: New useCreateDocument hook and auth error recovery

    MCP server v2.25.0: Feedback reporting, schema deploy, and document creation improvements

    Broadens the feedback tool to cover docs, client, HTTP API, schema, Studio, and deployment issues, and sharpens schema-deploy and document-creation guidance for agents. Continues the steady MCP server hardening.
