Connect your agent to your TYPO3 instance to inspect system settings. Once connected, your AI can scan constants and global configurations instantly.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI check my TYPO3 TypoScript settings?

Yes. Your AI uses this MCP to pull global TypoScript settings and initial boot data to find configuration mismatches. You get a clear view of how your system is actually behaving compared to your intended setup.

Where every issue lands.

Audit outcomes

The AI processes the raw configuration data into these specific results.

VALIDATION

Configuration checks

The AI compares current constants against your requirements. It flags any values that don't match your expected site structure.

DIAGNOSTICS

Boot sequence analysis

Your agent looks at the initial boot state to see if the system is loading correctly. This helps catch errors that happen before the page even renders.

REPORTS

Summary of findings

The AI compiles a list of all detected inconsistencies. You receive a clean breakdown of what is wrong and where to look in the TYPO3 backend.

HUMAN

Manual fixes

The AI cannot change your TypoScript. You must go into the TYPO3 backend to apply any corrections the agent suggests.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent moves from raw data retrieval to logical analysis.

  1. Fetch globals

    The agent pulls the current TypoScript constants and global settings from your instance.

    list_typoscript_globals

  2. Check boot state

    It examines the initial system boot data to understand the environment context.

    get_initial_boot

  3. Identify mismatches

    The AI compares the fetched globals against your specific audit criteria to find errors.

    list_typoscript_globals

  4. Report errors

    The agent presents a list of configuration issues for you to review.

    get_initial_boot
