--- title: "AI Foundation" manual: "AI Foundation" version: "main" permalink: "https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/nitsan/ns-t3af:start@main" source: "Index.rst" start: true modified: "2026-09-15T14:55:33+00:00" --- # AI Foundation - *Extension key:* ns_t3af - *Package name:* nitsan/ns-t3af - *Version:* 1.1.5 - *Language:* en - *Author:* [T3Planet](https://t3planet.de) & TYPO3 contributors - *License:* GPL-2.0-or-later. See LICENSE. - *Rendered:* today --- 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 **Introduction** Learn what AI Foundation is, who it is for, and how the pieces fit together.
