Bring AI agents into TYPO3, on your terms

AI Foundation for TYPO3

MCP-first GDPR-friendly Multi-LLM EU AI Act-ready Self-hosted 100% Free & Open source (GPL)

AI Foundation gives TYPO3 CMS a built-in MCP server, 100+ AI tools and multi-LLM management to connect Claude, Cursor, n8n and other AI Agents while controlling providers, prompts, permissions and budgets from one backend module. 100% free and open source, self-hosted on your own infrastructure with your own keys - no license, no domain limits. T3Planet never sits in your data path.

AI Foundation for TYPO3

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.

AI Foundation for TYPO3 Experience in Action

 

Works with the AI providers you already trust

AI Infrastructure, Governance & Automation in TYPO3

AI providers, brand context, prompts, permissions, governance, automation, 
and monitoring from one native TYPO3 backend module

One foundation for every TYPO3 team

From daily content work to system architecture to compliance oversight - T3AF gives each role exactly what they need, without getting in the way of the others.

Use AI inside the TYPO3 backend you already know - without managing providers, budgets, or prompts yourself.

  • Write, rewrite, and translate content with AI that already knows your brand voice and tone rules.
  • Run Bulk Operations across entire page trees - meta tags, alt text, summaries, translations.
  • Stay within the permissions and budgets your administrator has set. No accidental overspend.
  • Every AI action happens in the TYPO3 backend. No external tools, no copy-pasting between interfaces.
  • AI output reflects your brand context automatically - no manual briefing per task.

Set up AI once per project and hand it over fully configured - brand context, provider, permissions, and cost tracking all in place.

  • One brand context profile per client - every AI output stays on-brand across the whole project.
  • Choose and configure the right AI provider per project and per budget requirement.
  • Per-client cost attribution makes AI effort billable and transparent.
  • Permissions and quotas keep client editors safely within defined limits from day one.
  • The same T3AF foundation across every project - faster onboarding, fewer support requests, consistent delivery.

Govern AI across your entire TYPO3 installation - who can use it, what it costs, and what it did.

  • Per-group permissions, module access, and budget quotas across all backend user groups.
  • Complete audit trail: every AI request logged with model, cost, duration, and the user who triggered it.
  • Monthly budget caps per extension with on/off toggles - no surprises at the end of the month.
  • OAuth 2.1/PKCE, IP allowlisting, scoped API tokens, and mutual TLS for external connections.
  • Enable, restrict, or disable any AI feature across any module - without touching extension code.

Stop writing AI boilerplate. T3AF gives you the integration layer so you can build actual features.

  • Expose any extension table as MCP tools - 9 CRUD tools auto-generated per table, no custom code.
  • Build custom MCP tools, resources, and prompt templates on top of T3AF's stable API.
  • Full Symfony Console CLI with verbose output, plus native TYPO3 Scheduler integration.
  • Live Playground for safe tool testing before connecting production AI clients.
  • Clean architecture on TYPO3 core standards - upgrades stay boring. That's the goal.

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.

Custom AI extensions for TYPO3

Complex workflows, proprietary data models or extra security layers? Our TYPO3 AI team extends T3AF to fit your process exactly - custom MCP tools, private LLM integrations, bespoke governance rules. Self-hosted, privacy-aware and built to TYPO3 best practices.

RELEASE Initial stable release v1.0.0

Yes. T3AF is licensed GPL-2.0-or-later and is available on the TER and GitHub. It is completely free - for development, staging, local, and production, with no domain limits and no license required. The software is self-hosted and runs on your own infrastructure.

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.

Yes - connect the provider accounts you already pay for; keys are encrypted at rest and never leave your server. T3Planet Credits, a hosted option to start without any API key, is coming soon.

T3AF is the foundation of the AI Universe: it provides the shared provider management, brand context, permissions and monitoring that the extensions build on. Please check the respective product pages for current requirement details.

Absolutely. Standalone, T3AF gives you a full MCP server, 100+ TYPO3 tools, provider management, brand context, prompts, CLI automation and governance - a complete platform for building your own AI workflows.

Set budgets and quotas, assign cost centers per provider, limit usage per backend group and track every single request with model, tokens and cost in the dashboard. You pay AI providers only for actual usage.

Yes - that is the point. Expose any extension table as MCP tools (9 CRUD tools per table, auto-generated), build custom tools and prompt templates, script everything via CLI, and test safely in the built-in Playground.

T3AF supports TYPO3 v12, v13 and v14, with Composer and classic installation modes.
