Common questions

Is Lightcms safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: LIGHTCMS_URL, LIGHTCMS_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (7.3.4) reached the registry 32 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.

What can I use instead?

LightCMS

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 130 MCP tools), and agentically updatable (the codebase is clean, well-structured Go — coding agents can safely extend it). For teams that want a CMS that works with AI rather than around it.

What's New in v7.3 — SEO & AI

FeatureSummary
AI TrafficSee which AI crawlers read your site (training vs. AI search vs. user-initiated fetches), what they read most, and how many visits ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Copilot send you.
AI Crawler PolicyAllow or block AI training, AI search and user fetches separately, with per-crawler overrides and an optional Content-Signal line, rendered into robots.txt.
Markdown CopiesEvery page is also available as clean Markdown at / .md, linked from the page and from llms.txt, so agents can read it without the HTML.
Richer Structured DataAuthors, publisher with logo, breadcrumbs, FAQ markup, and modified dates that only move when the page content actually changes.
RSS & Atom Feeds/feed.xml, /atom.xml and per-collection feeds with full content.
Hide from Search & AIPer-page noindex that also removes the page from the sitemap, llms.txt, feeds and IndexNow.

What's New in v7.2

FeatureSummary
IndexNowPublished, edited, moved and deleted pages are pushed to Bing, Yandex and other IndexNow engines right away. Zero-config: each install generates its own key, verifies it owns its BASE_URL before submitting, and submits the whole site once on first activation. Status and history at Tools → IndexNow.
CMS AgentConfigurable email digests (via Resend) covering site health, traffic, review queue, agent activity and broken links, with optional AI commentary.

What's New in v7.1

FeatureSummary
Ambient CopilotThe copilot is a slide-in drawer on every admin page — floating 🤖 button, fullscreen toggle, ChatGPT-style searchable chat history, live typing indicator, and rendered tables. It edits, creates, publishes, and reads analytics and maintenance reports in plain language.
Analytics Ranges60/90-day presets and custom date ranges across all analytics views.
Fast AI-Crawler Endpointsllms.txt serves in ~1 second on large sites (projected queries), and homepages emit schema.org WebSite JSON-LD with SearchAction.
Version VisibilityThe admin sidebar shows the running version.

What's New in v7.0

FeatureSummary
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 GovernanceScoped 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 — edit, create, and publish content in plain language, with RBAC and full audit logging.
llms.txt + JSON-LDAuto-generated /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt for AI crawlers, schema.org structured data on every page.
MCP for ReadersPublic read-only MCP endpoint at /mcp-public — visitors' agents can search and read the site natively.
Local EmbeddingsLIGHTCMS_EMBEDDINGS_PROVIDER=ollama for fully self-hosted semantic search — no API credits.
Self-Maintaining SitesDaily maintenance scans surface stale pages, missing meta, and broken links as an agent-ready work queue.

What's New in v6.0

FeatureSummary
Content ApprovalsContributors submit content for approval; editors/admins approve or reject from /cm/approvals. Rejection comments auto-post to the discussion thread.
Contributor RoleNew RBAC role between Viewer and Editor. Can create content + upload assets (pending), post comments, and submit for approval — but cannot publish directly or manage system settings.
Approval WorkflowsConfigurable trigger-based workflows (contributor, folder path, template ID, or tag). Sequential or concurrent mode with configurable approver lists.
Content DiscussionInline comment thread at the bottom of every edit page. @mention autocomplete, live badge count, admin delete.
Tabbed Bottom PanelDiscussion, Version History, and Forks organized into tabs on the content edit page.
Approvals DashboardMy Queue + Other Pending + Workflow Config at /cm/approvals. Sidebar badge shows pending count.
Dashboard SectionsRequiring Approvals and Recent Comments appear on the admin dashboard when relevant.
New Webhook Eventscomment.created, content.pending_approval, asset.pending_review.
14 new MCP toolsFull comment and approval lifecycle — list/create/delete comments, full workflow CRUD, list/get/submit/approve/reject/cancel approval requests.

What's New in v5.0

FeatureSummary
Import PipelineThree new import types — RSS/Atom feeds, Markdown/ZIP upload, CSV bulk import — with a unified job dashboard at /cm/imports.
RSS/Atom ImportConfigure recurring feed sources with hourly/daily/weekly schedules, template mapping, folder targeting, and auto-publish.
Markdown ImportUpload .md files or .zip archives with YAML frontmatter. Supports Notion exports, Obsidian vaults, Hugo/Jekyll migrations, and AI-generated content.
CSV ImportUpload CSV files and map columns to content fields. Specify the title column; all other columns become fields automatically.
Real-time Job StatusSSE-powered live log stream at /cm/imports/{jobID}. Watch imports happen line-by-line or review full history after the fact.
10 new MCP import toolslist_import_sources, create_import_source, update_import_source, delete_import_source, trigger_import_source, import_markdown, import_csv, list_import_jobs, get_import_job, cancel_import_job.
Agentic bulk content creationimport_markdown is designed for AI agents to generate and import large content batches in a single call. See MCP.md.
DeduplicationImports match by full_path — re-importing the same slug updates rather than duplicates.

What's New in v4.5

FeatureSummary
WebhooksHMAC-SHA256 signed events for publish, unpublish, delete, create, update. Admin UI at /cm/webhooks with delivery history and a docs page.
Scheduled PublishingSet a future publish_at timestamp on any content item; a background scheduler auto-publishes at the right time.
Content LockingAdvisory lock when editing (30-min expiry). Warning banner if another user is already editing. Admins can force-unlock.
Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR)Template layout changes regenerate affected pages in 20-page batches, preventing server overload on large sites.
Edge Caching HeadersETag, Cache-Control, Last-Modified, and Vary headers on all public pages. 304 Not Modified support.
Cloudflare IntegrationConfigure Zone ID + API Token to auto-purge Cloudflare cache on publish/unpublish.

MCP Prompt ResourcesThree new MCP resources: lightcms://site/structure, lightcms://content/recent, lightcms://theme/config.

Why LightCMS?

Lightweight: A clean, focused codebase that's easy to understand, modify, and extend. No bloated frameworks or complex abstractions.

AI-Native: Built from the ground up for the AI era:

  • MCP Integration: Full Model Context Protocol server with 130 tools and 3 prompt resources for website management. Supports both local stdio and HTTP streamable transports — connect from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any MCP-compatible client.
  • OAuth 2.1 for Remote Agents: Sandboxed desktop apps like Claude's Cowork can securely connect over HTTP using OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. No embedded passwords — just authorize once and the agent manages your site.
  • Fork-Friendly: Designed to be forked and customized by Claude Code. Ask Claude to add new content types, modify templates, or build custom features — the codebase is structured for AI-assisted development.
  • Natural Language Website Management: Skip the admin UI entirely. Create pages, manage assets, customize themes, and publish content through conversation.

  • Soft Delete: Recover deleted content with undelete functionality
  • Content Tagging: Tag any content item with one or more freeform labels, then query by tag across your site
