Directus wraps any SQL database with a REST/GraphQL API and admin UI. Unlike traditional CMS, it works with your existing database schema.
Reviewer scorecard
“First-party SDK with excellent TypeScript support. Tool use and streaming work flawlessly. The agent loop is well-designed.”
“Point it at any SQL database and get an instant API + admin UI. The most flexible headless CMS approach.”
“Using the official SDK reduces risk of breaking changes. The agent patterns are production-tested by Anthropic themselves.”
“Works with your existing database instead of forcing its own schema. Unique value proposition in the CMS space.”
“Anthropic's approach to safe, capable agents sets the standard. The SDK makes best practices the default path.”
“Database-first CMS makes more sense than CMS-first databases. Directus got the architecture right.”
