MCP-First AI layer for TYPO3
If you have ever missed ready-to-start AI in TYPO3, juggled API keys in five different places,
setup Proprietary or OpenSource LLM models, watched AI costs pile up with no overview, or wished your AI assistant
could actually work inside TYPO3 - yes, that hurts. T3AF solves this the typical TYPO3 way: it lives in your backend,
centralizes every provider, budget, prompt and permission, and opens your website to the
Model Context Protocol without pushing you into a SaaS model.
You stay in control, your every TYPO3 team (editors, integrators, developers & administrator)
works with AI on one governed, self-hosted foundation.
The Foundation Extension for AI Universe
T3AF is the base extension of the AI Universe for TYPO3. Install it once, and every extension of the suite plugs into the same providers,
brand context, permissions and cost controls - no duplicate setup, no conflicting configuration.
Frequently asked questions
More FAQs T3AF is the central AI layer for TYPO3: an MCP server with 100+ tools, multi-provider LLM management, brand context, prompt library, permissions, automation and cost monitoring - in one native backend module. It works standalone and is the base extension for all AI Universe extensions.
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants securely work with real applications. With T3AF, tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor or n8n connect directly to your TYPO3 website and can list pages, create content, manage files or run workflows - always within the permissions you define.
Access is protected by OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, scoped tokens, IP allowlists, rate limits and full tool-call logging. In Native mode, AI generation runs inside TYPO3 through your configured providers - your content never flows through the external agent's model. Combined with on-premise models via Ollama, you can keep the entire AI pipeline on your own infrastructure.
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Ollama, ElevenLabs and AltText.ai ship as ready-made adapters, plus custom endpoints for any compatible LLM. Each provider gets its own models, capabilities, pricing data and access rules - and you can switch anytime.
