Directus: The Collaborative Backend for Applications and AI
Most backends are a black box. Developers build and maintain them. Everyone else files tickets and waits. Directus changes that.
Connect any SQL database and Directus instantly wraps it with production-ready REST and GraphQL APIs, a native MCP server for AI agents and tools, and a visual Studio your whole team can work in directly. Developers stay in control. Content teams, PMs, and business users stop waiting on engineering. AI agents operate on your live data with the same access policies as your human users.
What you get out of the box:
Instant REST and GraphQL APIs from any SQL database (Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, MS SQL, SQLite, and more)
Native MCP server so any AI tool or agent can connect directly to your data
Visual Studio for non-technical teams to manage content, run workflows, and build dashboards
Role-based access control down to the field level
Built-in automation engine for workflow orchestration
Asset management with on-the-fly image transformations
Extensible with custom endpoints, hooks, interfaces, and modules
Your data, your infrastructure, your rules. Directus runs on your AWS environment. You bring the database, you own the data, and nothing moves to a third-party platform. Governance is built in, not bolted on.
45 million downloads. 35,000+ GitHub stars. Trusted by teams at Tripadvisor, Weber, Copa Airlines, and thousands more.
