AI Integration
Automad integrates with AI in two independent ways. The AI Assistant helps you write and transform content directly inside the block editor using the APIs of OpenAI or Claude. The MCP server allows external AI agents and MCP clients to read your site's content and, when authenticated, to manage it on your behalf.
AI Assistant
Automad offers AI assistance for content editing within the block editor. The assistant helps you generate, rewrite and improve content without leaving the dashboard. This feature is optional and can be fully disabled. To use AI writing assistance, you must connect at least one supported AI provider.
MCP Server
Automad includes a built-in MCP server that allows AI agents and other MCP-compatible clients to read and manage pages and content on your site over the Model Context Protocol. Instead of copying content back and forth between your site and an AI chat, a connected agent can search and read your pages, draft new ones or update existing content — while all edits are saved as drafts for you to review.
Public MCP
The public tools of the MCP server work without any authentication. They give AI agents and MCP clients read-only access to the published content of your site — for example to answer questions about your documentation or to summarize your latest blog posts.
Private MCP
In order to let an AI agent manage the content of your site, an MCP client has to authenticate with an access token. Authenticated clients can use all tools of the MCP server. They can read drafts and private pages, inspect templates, snippets and components, and create, edit, publish, move and delete pages.
Safety
Letting an AI agent work on your content is convenient, but agents can make mistakes. The MCP server is therefore designed in a way that keeps you in control over what goes live. This page explains which safeguards exist, what an agent can and can't do, and how to set up a safe workflow.
Privacy & Data
Automad does not use your data for training AI models or any other external processing. All AI features are optional and data is only sent to external services in case you use them. When using external AI services, the respective providers' terms of service and data policies apply.
