io.github.kozmos-tech/inhalt

An open-source headless CMS for managing content models and entries.

Inhalt

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.

  • Website: inhalt.tech
  • MCP endpoint: https://inhalt.tech
  • License: MIT
  • Self-hostable: one container, your database, your keys. A hosted edge is also available.

How it works

Three steps.

  1. Connect the endpoint. Add one block to your MCP config. Inhalt exposes your whole content tree as typed tools.
  2. Operate on content. The client reads the schema, finds the right entry, and proposes a clean patch against real, typed fields.
  3. Save and publish. Every change is checked against your schema, saved, and pushed to your live read API in one step.

See docs/getting-started.md for the MCP config and a full walkthrough.

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "io-github-kozmos-tech-inhalt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@kozmos-tech/inhalt"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
