What Collaboration Looks Like
Real teams. Real workflows.
Three teams, three different jobs. Handled from one backend.
Content Team

Translate and publish in one conversation.
A content editor asks the AI Assistant to translate a blog post into French, German, and Spanish. It writes the translations directly into the correct locale fields. No third-party tool, no copy-paste, no manual field mapping. One conversation, done.
Developer

Scaffold a data model from your IDE.
A developer connects Cursor to Directus via MCP and asks it to create a new collection with fields, relationships, and validation rules. The schema is live in seconds. No clicking through the Studio, no writing migration scripts.
Operations

Tag 500 images before lunch.
An ops manager connects Claude Desktop to Directus and asks it to analyze product images, generate alt text, and apply category tags. The metadata is written directly to the asset records. Hours of manual work, gone.

AI YOU CAN TRUST
One permissions system. Humans and agents both.
AI agents need the same governance as your human users. Every action should be permissioned, auditable, and limited to exactly what the agent is allowed to access.
Every action is logged
Know exactly what changed, who changed it, and whether it came from a person or an AI agent.
Your data stays in your database
Your business data isn't copied into another platform. The MCP server runs against your existing infrastructure.
Control Read/Write Access
Give every AI client only the permissions it needs and nothing more.
