​Join us for live demos, real projects, and our AI Hackathon announcement.

​AI that needs you to explain your schema every time isn't actually useful. And it definitely doesn't fix the collaborative bottleneck killing your velocity.

​That's why we're so excited to introduce the Directus MCP.

​Directus is a backend and headless CMS that wraps any SQL database with an API and no-code app. The MCP connects AI directly to your backend, understanding your schema, respecting your permissions, and shipping changes within your guardrails.

​It knows your collections, fields, relationships, and permissions, so when marketing asks it to build something, it builds it. When devs need automations, it ships them.

​Join us for this showcase event, where we'll demo the MCP live, feature what our community has already built, and kick off an MCP hackathon with a ton of great prizes.

​What's Happening

​MCP Overview

​We'll explain Model Context Protocol and how Directus implements it natively. Your AI finally understands your full database context: collections, fields, relationships, permissions. Not just your prompts.

​Building with MCP - 1 App, 10 Minutes

​Catch Bryant and special guests attempt to build production apps from scratch with the MCP in 10 minutes or less.

​Real Projects from the Community

​Hear from our community members showing what they've actually built with the MCP.

​Hear the Directus Philosophy on AI ​

​Rijk talks about where we're headed with AI. Why we built this as a collaboration tool, not an automation tool. What we're doing and - more importantly - what we're deliberately not doing.

​What we mean by ‘Collaborative CMS’

​Christina talks us through how collaboration and CMS pair with the help of AI.

​Directus MCP Setup Tutorial

​Lindsey and Bryant share how you can get started.

​Hackathon Announcement

​We're launching an MCP hackathon. Themes, prizes, timeline, how to enter. If you've been waiting to build something, here's your excuse.

​Who This Is For

• ​Developers tired of being the translation layer between "we need this" and "it's live."

• ​Content teams tired of waiting on dev tickets.

• ​Product folks trying to move teams faster without breaking things.

• ​Agency teams managing multiple clients.

​If you work with content infrastructure and want to see practical AI implementation (not hype), you'll get value here.

​Why Attend?

​Directus has 40M+ downloads and 33K GitHub stars. Companies like Mercedes-Benz, Emirates, and Domino's use it to power their content.

​This MCP integration is about removing the bottleneck between creative teams and technical implementation. AI that can actually prototype data models, fine-tune content experiences, and build automations, all within your existing permissions structure.

​You'll lear how devs, marketers, and AI can finally work together, not around each other.

​Can't Attend Live?

​Register anyway. We'll send you:

• ​Full recording

• ​Setup documentation

• ​Hackathon registration link

• ​All resources from the event
