Summary: Directus adds native AI and MCP server support

Why It Matters: The product is moving beyond a simple database manager to become an AI-ready workspace. This allows non-technical teams and AI agents to interact with live data through a governed interface.

What Changed:

  • Added a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to connect AI tools to data.
  • Introduced a built-in AI Assistant for writing and translating content.
  • Rebranded the "Data Studio" as a collaborative workspace for developers, teams, and AI.
  • Updated the homepage headline to focus on a "shared platform" rather than just a "headless CMS."
  • Added specific sections highlighting AI governance and permission-based AI access.
