OmniCon.cloud is a headless CMS for teams who want one place to author articles, pages, books, press releases, and reader communities — and deliver them anywhere through public channels, custom domains, APIs, or MCP tools. This Help section is where we collect the practical guides: how things work, how to set them up, and what to do when something doesn't.
What you can do with OmniCon
Everything in OmniCon lives inside a Channel. A channel is a container for content, styling, authors, and a public URL. You can have as many as you need — one per product, one per brand, one per event. Inside each channel you'll find:
- Articles — your day-to-day posts. Tagged, foldered, searchable, with a publish window and optional author byline.
- Pages — static content built from reusable page blocks. Good for landing pages, about pages, policy pages.
- Books — multi-part long-form content organized into parts, chapters, and sections, with AI-assisted drafting and Word export.
- Press releases — track press contacts, build distribution lists, and send announcements from inside the CMS.
- Community — let readers log in, join the channel, and post their own content under your editorial policy. Roles, moderation queue, audit log, custom-domain support.
- Media & storage — upload images and documents, organize them with folders and labels, and reuse them across any channel.
- Customization — pick a theme preset, drop widgets into the sidebar and footer, choose a layout per article or page, and add custom CSS or JavaScript when you need to.
- Navigation — build the top menu for each channel with pages, articles, or arbitrary URLs.
- Custom domains — point your own domain at a channel and serve it from there.
- AI Studio — generate images and short videos for articles without leaving the editor.
- REST API — read and write every kind of content from your own scripts, backends, and integrations.
- MCP server — connect Claude Desktop or any MCP-aware client to author and manage content with natural language.
Where to start
If you're brand new, the fastest path is:
- Create an organization so your workspace is separate from anyone else's.
- Create a channel inside it. Pick a permalink — that becomes part of your public URL.
- Write your first article and publish it. The article will appear at
/c/{channel}/d/{permaname}, or on your custom domain if you've set one up. - Add an author if you want a byline on articles.
- Make it look like yours — pick a theme, drop in a few widgets, set a header logo. This is the single biggest visible change you can make to a fresh channel.
- Invite teammates through the Organizations page if you're not working alone.
- Once your channel has readers, optionally open a community on it so they can post too.

- Use the search box at the top to full-text search every help article.
- Click a tag in the sidebar to see all articles about a specific topic.
- Browse by directory if you're looking for a whole section (e.g. articles, community, books, media).
- Popular Search Terms shows what other people have been looking for — a good shortcut to common questions.
