# Contently

> Contently is an end-to-end content marketing platform pairing enterprise content operations software with a vetted global network of 10,000+ freelance writers, editors, designers, and strategists, positioned for regulated industries. Its developer surface is the Talent API — a REST-first, JSON, scoped-OAuth2 API for sourcing creators, running NDA-scoped projects, reviews, approvals, and payouts, with state-change webhooks.

This llms.txt was generated by the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline from the Contently APIs.json profile and live probes of Contently's public hosts on 2026-08-13. Contently publishes NO OpenAPI specification, NO reference documentation, and NO machine-readable contract of any kind. Everything below is transcribed from the Talent API product page, which is the only public documentation that exists.

## APIs

- [Contently Talent API](https://contently.com/platform/talent-api/): Search vetted creators, open NDA-scoped projects, brief/message contributors, submit draft reviews, approve and pay out work, check funded balances. Base URL https://api.contently.com. Scoped OAuth2. Access is sales-gated — the only call to action is "Talk to our API team".

## Documented endpoints

Transcribed verbatim from the "Endpoint surface" section. No OpenAPI exists; parameters, payloads, and response schemas are not published.

- GET /creatives — search vetted creators by vertical, format, language, rate band, prior-work history; returns ranked candidates with verified samples
- POST /projects — open an NDA-scoped project (brief, scope, deadline, IP-assignment terms); spins a workspace and assigns the chosen creator
- POST /projects/<id>/messages — brief and message in-thread with the creator and assigned managing editor
- POST /reviews — submit feedback on a draft (inline notes, revision request, approval)
- POST /projects/<id>/approve — approve work and close out; Contently pays the contractor
- GET /balance — funded balance, draw-down history, projected runway
- GET /collaborators — past collaborators with ratings, repeat-booking history, availability

## Webhooks

- Project assigned, draft submitted, review responded, payout released — delivered over Slack, Teams, or raw HTTP. No payload schemas, signature scheme, or retry semantics are published.

## MCP

- Contently advertises an MCP server registering 6 tools (contently.search_creatives, contently.create_project, contently.submit_review, contently.list_revisions, contently.request_payout, contently.list_collaborators) with oauth2 scoped auth.
- IMPORTANT: no MCP endpoint URL, install command, or package is published. mcp.contently.com is a wildcard DNS catch-all, not a server — it returns the same redirect as any nonexistent subdomain. An agent cannot reach this MCP server; access goes through the sales gate.

## Developer

- [Talent API overview](https://contently.com/platform/talent-api/): The only API documentation. Endpoints, auth model, webhooks, MCP tool list.
- [Sign in](https://contently.com/signin/): Contently application login. Note that developer.contently.com and api.contently.com also serve this same login app — there is no developer portal.
- [Support](https://support.contently.com): Kayako-hosted help center.
- [Book a call](https://contently.com/demo/): The route to API access and to pricing; https://contently.com/pricing redirects here.

## Known absences

Recorded so an agent does not waste calls looking:

- No OpenAPI/Swagger — 33 probes across contently.com, api.contently.com, developer.contently.com all 404
- No GraphQL schema — api.contently.com/graphql returns a Rails HTML 500
- No A2A agent card — /.well-known/agent-card.json and /.well-known/agent.json 404 on all hosts
- No /.well-known/ documents of any kind — 32 probes, all 404, including security.txt
- No status page — status.contently.com serves the login app; contently.statuspage.io is deactivated
- No published pricing, no rate-limit values or headers, no error reference, no changelog, no deprecation policy
- No SDK on any package registry; the GitHub org github.com/contently has 0 public repositories

## Security & compliance
