Best When

A Kirby CMS developer or content team wants AI agents to manage site content — reading pages, updating fields, managing files, and automating content workflows through Kirby's API.

Avoid When

You use a different CMS. Kirby is a niche PHP flat-file CMS — while excellent, this MCP only works with Kirby sites. Also: bnomei is a prominent Kirby plugin developer (community expert, not official Kirby team).

Use Cases

  • Reading and querying Kirby CMS pages and content from content management agents
  • Creating and updating page content in Kirby from content automation agents
  • Managing Kirby file uploads and media from asset management agents
  • Integrating Kirby CMS into AI-driven content generation and publishing workflows

Not For

  • WordPress, Drupal, or other CMS users (Kirby-specific)
  • Headless CMS teams not using Kirby
  • Teams without PHP/Kirby infrastructure

Known Gotchas

  • Kirby Panel must have API enabled — verify API access in Kirby site configuration
  • Content writes modify live site data — use staging environment for agent development
  • bnomei is a respected Kirby community developer but this is not official Kirby GmbH software
  • Kirby's flat-file structure means content is file-based — agent writes go directly to filesystem
