Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
CMS content management. Panel API credentials. HTTPS. Use least-privilege Kirby user roles for agent access.
⚡ Reliability
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
Interface
Authentication
Kirby Panel API authentication required. Kirby API token or user credentials. Configure Kirby API access in site config.
Pricing
Kirby CMS requires a paid license ($99 one-time). MCP plugin by bnomei is free open source.
Agent Metadata
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
