See LICENSE. - *Rendered:* Fri, 09 Oct 2026 13:46:48 +0000 --- MCP-first AI foundation for TYPO3. **AI Foundation** turns your TYPO3 installation into a fully AI-ready platform. Complete AI-infrastructure for the whole TYPO3 team, zero setup. Manage every AI provider, MCP servers & tools, brand context, prompts, users permissions, and budget in one native backend module. You stay in control, your every TYPO3 team (editors, integrators, developers & administrator) works with AI on one governed, self-hosted foundation. Use it standalone — or as the foundation that powers the complete AI Universe. Open source. Free for development and production. Configure providers, MCP, brand context, prompts, and permissions once — connected extensions and AI clients reuse them. ![AI Foundation Dashboard with setup checklist, Own API Keys mode, provider status, and cost trend](Images/t3af-dashboard.png) --- ## Getting started {#getting-started} **Introduction** Learn what AI Foundation is, who it is for, and how the pieces fit together.
