klappe-cms: A Light CMS with AI
The lightweight CMS for Astro that I use on client sites: inline editing, version history and AI that fills fields from pasted text or a file.
Entering content is slow, and clients do not want to learn a heavy CMS just to keep their own site up to date. klappe-cms is the lightweight one I built for my Astro client sites.
The schema lives in code. Editing happens directly on the page, and every change goes live at once, with twenty versions to roll back to if something goes wrong. There is no separate admin world to get lost in.
The AI part saves the most typing. You paste text, or a Word or PDF file, and AI fills the fields from it. An AI assistant can also manage the CMS through an MCP connection, so content tasks can be handed over in plain words.
It is built on Astro and runs serverless. klappe-cms is the standard content layer of my client sites, including CareerMate and EuropaSign.
