## Description

Directus MCP Server provides a bridge between AI assistants and Directus headless CMS, enabling AI tools to interact with content through the Directus API. Developed by Rijk van Zanten, this TypeScript implementation automatically generates tools based on the schema of the connected Directus instance, allowing for operations like reading items from collections, retrieving user information, and exploring available collections and fields. The server authenticates using environment variables for URL and token configuration, making it easy to set up for both global and local installations. Ideal for content managers and developers who want their AI assistants to access and manipulate structured content in their Directus instances without switching contexts.
