About lightcms

lightcms is an MCP server published by the GitHub account jonradoff. AI-native, open-source CMS (Go) with 128 MCP tools: content, agent sandbox, SEO & AI.

It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the MCP bundle package lightcms-darwin-arm64.mcpb at version 7.3.4.

It asks for one secret: LIGHTCMS_API_KEY. Give it a key with the least access that still works.

It also needs LIGHTCMS_URL set before it starts.

Version 7.3.4 was published on 5 October 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.

Written from the registry entry. 8 automated checks on the registry entry and the package code: 6 pass, 0 warn, 0 fail, 2 info. How we check.
