An open-source headless CMS for managing content models and entries.
The CMS your AI tools can run.
Inhalt is an open-source, MCP-native CMS. Instead of clicking through a traditional admin UI, the content layer is exposed through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Any MCP client connects to the Inhalt server and you create and edit content just by chatting.
The protocol is the API. The client reads your content schema, finds the right entry, and proposes a clean, typed patch against real fields, never freeform text.
https://inhalt.techThree steps.
See docs/getting-started.md for the MCP config and a full walkthrough.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| MCP-native | The protocol is the API. Read, query, and patch content through tools any client already understands. |
| Typed schemas | Model content once. Clients work strictly inside your fields, validated and never freeform. |
| Drafts and review | Stage edits, preview them, and publish only when they are ready. |
| Headless delivery | Query from anywhere over a clean, fast read API. |
| Scoped access | Grant a client exactly the entries and actions it should touch. |
| Self-host | One container, your database, your keys. MIT licensed, end to end. |
Inhalt works with every MCP client, including Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Zed, Windsurf, and Cline.
