Real teams. Real workflows.

Three teams, three different jobs. Handled from one backend.

Content Team

Translate and publish in one conversation.

A content editor asks the AI Assistant to translate a blog post into French, German, and Spanish. It writes the translations directly into the correct locale fields. No third-party tool, no copy-paste, no manual field mapping. One conversation, done.

Developer

Scaffold a data model from your IDE.

A developer connects Cursor to Directus via MCP and asks it to create a new collection with fields, relationships, and validation rules. The schema is live in seconds. No clicking through the Studio, no writing migration scripts.

One permissions system. Humans and agents both.

AI agents that can write to your CMS need narrow, auditable access. Admin tokens passed to agents are a liability: one hallucination away from a content disaster.

Every action is logged

The audit trail covers human edits and agent writes under one view. You know what changed, when, and which client made the change.

Your data stays in your database

Nothing is sent to a third-party AI service without your explicit configuration. The MCP server operates on your infrastructure, self-hosted or on Directus Cloud.

Control Read/Write Access

Directus gives every AI client a role, the same way it gives every human user a role. That role defines exactly what the agent can see and touch.

One permissions system for both humans and AI.
