Integrations

Works with the tools you already use.

Total CMS is front-end agnostic and agent-friendly. Design in whatever tool you like, connect whichever AI assistant you already pay for, and talk to everything else over a REST API, a PHP API, or the command line.

AI Agents

Connect your assistant in one click.

Every Total CMS 3.5 site ships an MCP server, so an agent reads your real schemas and real content instead of guessing. The buttons below install the Total CMS documentation connector — to connect a site of your own, point the same client at yoursite.com/mcp. The connection guide covers both, with and without an API key.

Claude Desktop

Install the Total CMS desktop extension — a single file, no Node, no Python, no config to edit. Drag it onto Claude Desktop and the documentation tools are live.

Download the Extension

Cursor & VS Code

Both accept an install link, so there is no JSON to hand-edit. Click, confirm, and your editor can answer Total CMS questions from current documentation.

Claude Code & any MCP client

Anything that speaks MCP connects the same way — one URL, no plugin on either end. Scaffold a whole site in a session, or just ask what a field does.

ChatGPT

Connect Total CMS as a custom connector today — standard search and fetch tools mean ChatGPT and deep research cite your content accurately. A listed ChatGPT app is coming.

Your own site, your rules

Standard exposes only what you publish publicly. Pro adds API keys and OAuth 2.1, so an agent can reach private content and write — scoped, revocable, and logged.

Design Tools

Bring your own front end.

Total CMS never dictates your markup. Hand-code it, generate it, or design it visually — then drop in Total CMS tags and the content becomes editable.

Stacks App

Total CMS is the CMS of choice for the Stacks web building community – with dedicated CMS stacks for every content type, collection loop stacks, and automatic deployment built in.

Visual Builders

Pinegrow, Bootstrap Studio, Blocs and friends export clean HTML. Add Total CMS Twig or PHP tags to that markup and your client edits the content while your design stays exactly as you drew it.

Everything Else

If it speaks HTTP, it works.

REST API

Every collection, in every edition. Pro adds API keys so external services and headless front ends can read and write from anywhere.

PHP API

Query collections and render content from any PHP code — the same API the admin itself is built on.

Webhooks Pro

Notify external services when content changes — deploys, rebuilds, notifications, anything with a URL.

CLI & deploys

The tcms command line manages collections, imports, updates, and sync, with JSON output for scripting and CI.

Import from anywhere

Total CMS 1, WordPress, Alloy, CSV, JSON, RSS, or a URL — bring existing content across without retyping it.

Extensions

Build your own integration as an extension, with Twig functions, CLI commands, routes, and event listeners behind per-capability permissions.
