MCP Server for Joomla turns your Joomla site into a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, letting AI assistants such as Claude Desktop and Cursor read and manage your content securely.
It exposes an HTTP JSON-RPC 2.0 MCP endpoint that proxies to Joomla's own Web Services REST API, with tools for articles (including version history), custom modules, modules, menus and menu items, media, content and installed languages, template styles, installed templates, and multilingual associations.
Key features:
- HTTP JSON-RPC 2.0 MCP endpoint in both the site and administrator applications
- Bearer-token authentication with optional IP allow-listing and CORS origin control
- Configurable fixed-window rate limiting
- Response caching through Joomla's cache layer
- JSON Schema validation of tool inputs
- A Node.js stdio-to-HTTP bridge for desktop MCP clients
- Joomla Update System integration for one-click updates
Requires Joomla 4, 5 or 6 and PHP 8.1+. Free and open source under GPL-2.0-or-later.
