Every package Directus depends on, ranked by repo health score.
Directus wraps any existing SQL database with a production-ready backend stack: auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs, a visual management Studio for non-technical teammates, and a native MCP server so AI agents can work directly with your live data. There is no schema migration required — Directus introspects your existing tables and immediately generates typed endpoints with granular, field-level access policies.
The platform supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL, OracleDB, and CockroachDB. Teams can self-host on their own infrastructure, deploy in one click on Railway, or use Directus Cloud for a fully managed instance provisioned in under 90 seconds. Version 12 introduced the Monospace Sustainable Core License, making Directus free for organizations under $5M annual revenue and 50 employees via the Open Innovation Grant program.
Directus is built as a TypeScript monorepo with a Vue 3 admin app and a deeply extensible architecture. Developers can add custom API endpoints, server-side hooks, and entirely new UI interfaces through a declarative extension system. The embedded AI Assistant can create content, run translations, and trigger automation workflows directly from the Studio, while the native MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible tool query and mutate data using the same role-based permissions as human users.
