How to Use the TYPO3 CMS MCP in LangChain

Q: How does LangChain use the TYPO3 CMS for content generation?

LangChain chains can call createcmsentity to write new records. The agent treats this as just another step in a multi-stage process, allowing you to build complex workflows that automatically generate and publish content.

Q: Can LangChain read the entire TYPO3 CMS structure?

Yes. You can use getnavigationtree or getinitialboot to retrieve the full hierarchy of the site's menu and schema. This structural data feeds directly into your reasoning chain.

Q: What if I need to update a record in TYPO3 CMS using LangChain?

You use updatecmsentity. The agent handles the required inputs: entity name, existing record ID, and the specific JSON payload of fields you want changed. It's precise control over updates.

Q: Does LangChain help with auditing TYPO3 CMS configurations?

Absolutely. Running listtyposcriptglobals allows your agent to audit the global TypoScript settings, ensuring any proposed changes adhere to established site standards before they go live.

Programmatic Content Creation

The `create_cms_entity` tool lets your agent write new TYPO3 Extbase content or elements. You pass the entity name and data as a JSON object, automating the setup of whole records. The agent can also refine existing content using `update_cms_entity`. It needs the entity name, record ID, and the specific fields to change, letting you modify pages without manual backend work.

CMS Structure Mapping

Need to map out how a page is built? Use `get_initial_boot` to pull global configuration and the root page schema. This gives your agent the foundational rules it needs for subsequent steps. Alternatively, call `get_navigation_tree` to fetch the entire menu structure starting from any given page. Your agent treats this as a linear dataset, knowing exactly what follows what in the site's hierarchy.

API Health and Auditing

Before writing anything, your agent verifies connectivity with `ping_rest_api`. This tool confirms the live REST API connection works. It’s a quick check that prevents downstream failures. For configuration checks, run `list_typoscript_globals` to list global TypoScript settings and constants. The agent uses this data to validate if planned changes comply with site-wide rules.

Setup guide

Set up TYPO3 CMS MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes TYPO3 CMS tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "typo3-cms-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent TYPO3 CMS transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
