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.
Works with the AI providers you already trust
Connect with any OpenSource custom LLM endpoint. Choose per task, switch anytime - no vendor lock-in, ever.
Built for the EU AI Act era
---------------------------
From 2 August 2026, the EU AI Act's transparency rules (Article 50) apply: people must be told when they are talking to an AI chatbot, and AI-generated content must be disclosed. As the organisation running the AI, you are the "deployer" who carries these duties. T3AF gives you the foundation to meet them:
- Audit logs and per-request records, so every AI action is traceable: what, which model, which user, when.
- Human-in-the-loop by default: personal workspaces mean AI output is reviewed and approved by a person before it goes live.
- AI-transparency helpers: chatbot "you are talking to AI" notices and AI-content labelling.
- Data governance by architecture: Native mode and on-premise models keep content on your infrastructure.
T3AF is compliance-ready tooling, not a compliance guarantee. How you configure, oversee and use AI stays your responsibility, and we recommend a legal review of your setup.

Your TYPO3 Becomes an MCP Server
--------------------------------
The **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is the open standard that lets AI assistants work with real systems.
T3AF includes a production-ready MCP server inside TYPO3, allowing Claude, Codex, Cursor, n8n, and other AI tools to read, create, and manage content directly in your website, always within your permission rules.
- **7 connection methods:** Remote OAuth, WebSocket, Docker/Container, SSH tunnel, npx wrapper, Local Bridge, and local CLI.
- **Secure authentication:** OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, scoped bearer tokens, token expiry, and instant revocation.
- **Built-in security:** IP allowlists, rate limits, tool-call logging, and an optional anonymous read-only mode. **mTLS:** Coming soon.

AI governance on
native TYPO3 permissions
------------------------------------------
- T3AF includes a guided five-step wizard to configure AI permissions, limits, and governance across your TYPO3 installation.
- **Permissions & Governance:** AI extensions · Foundation modules · Providers · MCP Server · Tools · Prompts · AI Context · Scheduler · AI Features · AI Usage · AI Logs
- Define per-group permissions, quotas, and safety limits, then review everything in the Permission Matrix. Every AI action is logged for complete visibility and auditing.
Every request, token and cent visible
-------------------------------------
- T3AF provides a central dashboard to monitor AI usage, costs, performance, and activity across your TYPO3 installation.
- **Dashboard & Analytics:** Setup checklist · API costs · Token usage · Success rates · Provider distribution · Module health · Extension health · Request logs
- Track every request with model, tokens, cost, status, and trends, giving complete transparency into AI usage and spending always.
### 100+ MCP Tools, Ready to Use
T3AF includes a complete MCP tool library for TYPO3, organized, searchable, and permission-aware.

- **Manage multiple profiles** with completeness tracking, ideal for agencies and multi-brand teams.
Brands That Trust Us

AI Infrastructure, Governance & Automation in TYPO3
-------------------------------------------------------
AI providers, brand context, prompts, permissions, governance, automation,
and monitoring from one native TYPO3 backend module
Centralized Control Panel for All AI FeaturesThe AI Foundation automatically detects your AI extensions and consolidates all settings in one place—no more scattered configurations. Enable only the features you need, customize AI configurations individually, and override AI providers on a per-extension basis. Advanced settings such as rate limiting, suspicious activity detection, cache expiration times, and crawl limits provide maximum control.
Reusable Prompts for All AI ModulesManage prompt templates for all AI workflows centrally in a shared library. Create your own prompts, organize them by category, and combine them with AI Context placeholders—for consistent AI outputs across the entire team.
Automation – the TYPO3 WayEvery AI action can be automated. Create your own TYPO3 CLI commands (Symfony Console) for all AI extensions, run them manually, or schedule them as native TYPO3 scheduler tasks. A central command library and task overview ensure transparent automation.
Personal Workspaces: Nothing Goes Live Without ApprovalEvery AI-generated change starts in your personal workspace—your live website remains unaffected until you approve the changes. Safely review, edit, or discard AI results without affecting other workspaces. Publish approved changes with a single click and maintain full control at all times.
Two MCP ModesEvery company has different requirements when it comes to AI, data privacy, and compliance.
That’s why the AI Foundation offers two MCP modes, **Context** and **Native, so that**
you can decide where AI generation takes place and how your data is processed.

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.
TYPO3 Editors TYPO3 Integrators TYPO3 Administrators TYPO3 Developers
TYPO3 Editors 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.
TYPO3 Integrators 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.
TYPO3 Administrators 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.
TYPO3 Developers 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.
Build your own TYPO3 AI extensions
----------------------------------
T3AF is the integration layer, so your team ships AI features instead of wiring up boilerplate. Expose any table as MCP tools (9 CRUD tools auto-generated per table), create custom tools, resources and prompt templates on a stable API, script everything through the Symfony Console CLI, and test safely in the live Playground before you connect a production client.
- **Open developer kit on GitHub:** SDK, an example child extension, and the full MCP tool documentation.
- **Free to build, pay to ship:** development, staging and local environments are always free. You only need a license when T3AF goes live on a production domain.
- **Clean architecture on TYPO3 core standards**, so upgrades stay boring.
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
What exactly is AI Foundation for TYPO3?
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.
What is MCP - and why should I care?
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.
Is my data safe when AI agents access my website?
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.
Which AI providers are supported?
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.
Do I need my own API keys?
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.
Do I need T3AF if I use an AI Universe extension?
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.
Can I use T3AF without any other AI extension?
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.
How do I keep AI costs under control?
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.
Can developers extend it?
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.
Which TYPO3 versions are supported?
T3AF supports TYPO3 v12, v13 and v14, with Composer and classic installation modes.
Is there a free trial?
Yes - 30 days, all features, on live, staging and local environments. No credit card, no automatic subscription.
Give your TYPO3 the
AI foundation it deserves

Start free, connect your first AI assistant in minutes, and bring every AI capability - today's and tomorrow's - onto one governed infrastructure.
