Directus CLI for AI

A terminal tool that gives AI agents full Directus access — a faster, lighter alternative to the Directus MCP.

Overview

Directus CLI is a command-line tool, installed in the terminal, that exposes a Directus project’s full API — items, collections, flows, assets, and every endpoint — to AI coding agents.

It’s built as a drop-in replacement for the Directus MCP server: because the agent calls the CLI directly instead of loading a large tool schema, it uses far fewer tokens and runs noticeably faster, while still giving the agent complete control over the Directus instance.
