FAQ 

General 

What is AI Foundation?

The shared AI foundation for T3Planet TYPO3 extensions. It manages providers, MCP, brand context, prompts, access roles, and usage in one backend module. See Overview.

Does it include a frontend plugin?

No. AI Foundation is a backend foundation layer. Visitors see AI through child extensions such as AI Assistant or AI Chatbot.

Which TYPO3 and PHP versions are supported?

TYPO3 12.4–14.x with PHP 8.2 or higher. See System Requirements.

Installation 

How do I install it?

With Composer (composer require nitsan/ns-t3af) or from the TYPO3 Extension Repository. See Installation.

Composer reports a conflict with another MCP package.

Remove conflicting MCP server packages first, then install AI Foundation. See Known Problems.

Providers and MCP 

Can I use local models such as Ollama?

Yes. Use the Ollama provider type or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint. See AI Providers.

Test connection fails even with a valid key.

Check the model ID, outbound HTTPS, and provider status. See the provider checklist in Known Problems.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol connects AI clients such as Cursor to your TYPO3 instance. See MCP Server.

Privacy 

Where does request data go?

AI Foundation is self-hosted. Prompts and responses go from your server to the AI provider you configure, using your API keys. T3Planet is not in the AI data path. License validation only sends the license key and domain.

Still stuck?
