Introduction
Overview
AI Foundation (EXT:ns_t3af) is T3Planet’s shared AI foundation for TYPO3.
It is the central engine behind all T3Planet AI extensions.
AI Foundation connects TYPO3 to AI models, manages API keys, exposes an MCP server for AI agents, and logs every request — so your team uses AI in a safe, consistent way. Editors work through connected extensions such as AI Assistant or AI Chatbot. Admins configure everything in the AI Foundation backend module group.
