Feature Request

Summary

Provide an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Hugo that allows AI agents and LLM-powered tools to interact with Hugo projects programmatically.

Motivation

The Model Context Protocol (https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) is an emerging standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data sources. An official Hugo MCP server would enable AI-powered workflows for content creation, site management, and development with Hugo.

Proposed Solution

An official hugo-mcp-server that exposes Hugo operations as MCP tools, such as:

  • Creating and editing content (posts, pages, taxonomies)
  • Managing site configuration
  • Running builds and previews (hugo server, hugo build)
  • Querying site structure (sections, menus, taxonomies)
  • Managing themes and modules

Use Cases

  • AI-assisted content authoring and publishing workflows
  • Automated site scaffolding and configuration via natural language
  • Integration with AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude, Copilot, Kiro) for Hugo development
  • Programmatic site management through conversational interfaces
