Investigate if and how to integrate the AI Framework
- Details
During GSoC 2025 there was one project that worked on building a AI Framework for Joomla. This framework would allow extensions devs to implement AI in their extensions in a standardised and easy way.

The framework provides a clean provider abstraction layer. It covers most of the basic interactions with AI providers. There is also good documentation.
Build MCP servers to enable AI usage - with WCAG in mind
- Details
The Joomla roadmap identifies usability and efficiency for site owners as a key challenge. MCP offers a promising solution. It is a protocol that allows AI agents to securely read resources and perform actions in external systems.
Applied to Joomla, an MCP server could empower administrators to:
- create categories, articles, and menus automatically from a sitemap or PDF
- generate SEO-optimized titles and meta descriptions in bulk
- apply extension updates across multiple sites
- build landing pages for upcoming product launches
Crucially, the MCP server is not envisioned as a “super admin only” feature. The initiative aims for a solution that is easy to set up, lightweight, and accessible to a broad range of users.
