## Usage

### Get Content Details

```javascript theme={null}
const content = await mcp.call("get_content", {
  contentId: "cont_story_acme_001"
});

// Access the structured content
console.log(content.content.title);
// "How Acme Corp Unified Multiple Products"

// Access components
for (const component of content.content.components) {
  console.log(`${component.type}: ${component.text}`);
}
```

### Use as Template

Fetch existing content to use as a template for new content:

```javascript theme={null}
// Get existing content
const template = await mcp.call("get_content", {
  contentId: "cont_story_acme_001"
});

// Create new content based on the structure
await mcp.call("create_content", {
  typeId: template.typeId,
  name: "New Story Title",
  content: {
    ...template.content,
    title: "New Story Title",
    components: [
      // Modified components...
    ]
  }
});
```

<Tip>
  Use `get_content` to understand the structure of existing content before creating new content of the same type. This helps ensure your new content follows established patterns.
