ledric

A CMS that speaks AI.

A small, self-hosted content engine built for the age of agents. One binary, one SQLite file, and a proper MCP interface — so Claude (or anything else that speaks the Model Context Protocol) can read, write, and evolve your content model with the same validation, history, and safety rails as a clicky admin panel.

Quick start

# Point Claude Desktop at it (one-liner — works with any MCP client)
claude mcp add ledric -- npx -y ledric serve

# Or run the full HTTP API + admin GUI
npx ledric serve --gui
# → admin GUI at http://127.0.0.1:3000/admin

A ./ledric.db file appears next to you. With --gui, ledric mints an admin key and a reader key on first boot and prints them once to stderr — copy them somewhere safe.

What you get

• MCP server over stdio (ledric serve) — drop-in for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP client
• HTTP API (ledric http) — same surface, for websites and SDKs
• Admin GUI at /admin — plus inline editor: drop <script src="/admin/inline.js"> on your site and edit on the page itself
• CLI — ledric ls, ledric get, ledric asset upload, ledric tag, ledric rename, ledric refs check, ledric keys create
• Imgix-compatible image transforms — ?w=600&fit=cover&auto=format, no SaaS bill
• Versioning, draft/publish, soft-delete with cascade, localization, slug renames that don't break the web

Everything lives in one SQLite file you can cp, scp, or commit.

npx ledric ls blog_post                    # entries of a type
npx ledric get blog_post/hello-world       # one entry, in render shape
npx ledric asset upload hero.jpg           # store an image
