Overview

What is Joomla MCP?

Joomla MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that lets AI assistants like Claude interact with Joomla websites via the Joomla Web Services API, primarily to manage articles.

How to use Joomla MCP?

Install Python 3.11+, clone the repository, set up a virtual environment with uv, and configure the server in your AI assistant (e.g., Claude Desktop) by providing the Joomla base URL and a bearer token in environment variables.

Frequently asked questions

1

What are the requirements for using Joomla MCP?

Python 3.11+, a Joomla 4.x or 5.x site with the Web Services API plugin enabled, and a valid API bearer token.

2

How do I obtain a Joomla API token?

Log in to the Joomla Administrator, go to Users > Manage, edit the Super User account, open the "Joomla API Token" tab, click Generate, and copy the token.

3

What tools does Joomla MCP provide?

Six tools: `get_joomla_articles()`, `get_joomla_categories()`, `create_article()`, `manage_article_state()`, `delete_article()`, and `update_article()`.

4

How do I configure Joomla MCP for Claude Desktop?

Add an entry to `claude_desktop_config.json` with the path to `uv`, the project directory, and the environment variables `JOOMLA_BASE_URL` and `BEARER_TOKEN`.

5

Are there security considerations?

Treat the API token like a password, as it provides site access. The server sanitizes HTML to prevent XSS, and HTTPS should be used for API communications.
