LightCMS

CI codecov Go Report Card lightcms MCP server

LightCMS is a Go-powered content management system built for the AI era. It's simultaneously AI-native (semantic search, built-in Claude-powered chat widget, MCP server for agent control), agentically controllable (Claude Code and any MCP client can read, write, publish, and bulk-import content via 106 MCP tools), and agentically updatable (the codebase is clean, well-structured Go β€” coding agents can safely extend it). For teams that want a CMS that works with AI rather than around it.

What's New in v7.0

Feature Summary
Agent Sandbox ("PRs for content") Agents work in an isolated fork with copy-on-write; humans review a per-field diff and merge. Live content is untouchable until merge.
Agent Governance Scoped API keys, sandbox-only keys (server-enforced), per-session change ledger with one-call rollback, and per-version provenance (human vs agent, which session).
Admin Copilot /cm/copilot β€” edit, create, and publish content in plain language, with RBAC and full audit logging.
llms.txt + JSON-LD Auto-generated /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt for AI crawlers, schema.org structured data on every page.
MCP for Readers Public read-only MCP endpoint at /mcp-public β€” visitors' agents can search and read the site natively.
Local Embeddings LIGHTCMS_EMBEDDINGS_PROVIDER=ollama for fully self-hosted semantic search β€” no API credits.
Self-Maintaining Sites Daily maintenance scans surface stale pages, missing meta, and broken links as an agent-ready work queue.
