Sanity - Content Operating System

Sanity is the Content Operating System for the AI era. Model your content as code, store it in a real-time API, and use it everywhere: websites, mobile apps, agentic applications, and the editorial workflows in between.

🚀 Get started • 📚 Documentation • 💬 Community • 🎓 Learn • 📦 Exchange

• Content Lake: Real-time database for structured content. Query with GROQ, or access it over HTTP from any language.
• Schema-as-code: Define content models in TypeScript, version control them, and get automatic type generation for queries and documents.
• Real-time and collaborative: Live queries, multiplayer editing, and instant previews are part of the platform.
• Studio + App SDK: A customizable React-based editorial environment, plus an SDK with hooks and stores for building custom content apps on top of Sanity.
• AI agents and content automation: The MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, and VS Code read and edit your content with full schema context. Agent Actions generate, transform, and translate content with LLMs. Canvas turns free-form drafts into structured documents.
• Functions: Serverless logic that runs on content changes. No infrastructure to maintain.
• Framework agnostic: Works with Next.js, Astro, Nuxt, React Router, SvelteKit, or any framework.

import { defineType, defineField } from "sanity";

export const articleType = defineType({
  name: "article",
  type: "document",
  fields: [
    defineField({
      name: "title",
      type: "string",
      validation: (Rule) => [
        Rule.required(),
        Rule.max(80).warning(
          "Titles over 80 characters may be truncated in search results"
        ),
      ],
    }),
    defineField({
      name: "excerpt",
      type: "text",
      validation: (Rule) =>
        Rule.custom((value, context) => {
          // Cross-field validation
          const isFeatured = context.document?.featured;
          return isFeatured && !value
            ? "Featured articles need an excerpt"
            : true;
        }),
    }),
  ],
});

import { defineQuery } from "groq";

export const ARTICLES_QUERY = defineQuery(`*[_type == "article"] {
  _id,
  title,
  "author": author->name,
  "categories": categories[]->title,
  "wordCount": length(pt::text(body))
}[0...10]`);
