Governance

One permissions system for both humans and AI.

AI agents get a Directus role, just like every other user. Field-level permissions. Collection-level access. The same policy layer that governs your team governs your AI.

Every action is logged

The audit trail doesn't distinguish between a human editor and an AI agent. Who changed what, when, through which tool.

Your data stays in your database

The AI Assistant and MCP server operate on your backend directly. Content isn't copied to a third-party service for processing.

Control Read/Write Access

Decide what your AI agents can read, write, or never touch. Set the rules per field, per collection.

What this looks like

Real workflows. Not demos.

The features your team reaches for every day, built in.

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.

Operations

Tag 500 images before lunch.

An ops manager connects Claude Desktop to Directus and asks it to analyze product images, generate alt text, and apply category tags. The metadata is written directly to the asset records. Hours of manual work, gone.
