Why this post exists

This entry was drafted from a chat with Claude, via the Contentful MCP connector.

It's a sanity check: title, slug, excerpt, cover image, author reference, and this rich-text body all populated through tool calls rather than the web app.

What got tested

  • Connector handshake (get_initial_context)

  • Reading content types, entries, and assets

  • Writing a draft entry with linked references

Shiny Shiny

I got distracted.


Prompt for key visual

Midjourney: "Editorial illustration, view from the back of a present-day boutique cinema auditorium, looking down toward the screen. Rich red velvet drapes frame the screen on both sides, gathered with gold tasselled tiebacks. Five or six rows of plush red-velvet seats stretch toward the screen, occupied by a scattered modern audience seen from behind. Heads and shoulders only, in soft silhouette, with the cool light of the screen catching the rims of their hair, the tops of their shoulders, the curve of an ear — enough to feel their attention without showing their faces. One viewer leans slightly forward, absorbed. Another rests their head against a partner's shoulder. On the cinema screen ahead, a film noir frame is playing in stark high-contrast black and white: a trench-coated detective in a fedora stands in a dimly lit office, his face half-lit by hard diagonal stripes of light through a venetian blind, the rest of the room lost in deep shadow. The auditorium itself is in painterly warm darkness, lit only by the cool monochrome glow from the screen and the faint amber of safety lights along the aisle. Gouache illustration with visible brushwork for the auditorium and audience, sharper graphic black-and-white styling for the noir film on the screen, deep red and warm shadow palette in the room contrasted against the cool monochrome screen, 1940s–1950s American magazine illustration style. --ar 16:9 --s 350 --no deformed hands, extra fingers, text on screen, modern cinema multiplex, cupholders, exit signs in English, smartphones, phone screens"
