Developer builds typed, API-first CMS for business data using PHP, OpenAPI, and MCP
A developer has built NeNe Records, an open-source, API-first content management system designed to handle structured business data through typed schemas and documented APIs. Unlike WordPress, which uses flexible but loosely typed metadata storage, NeNe Records enforces field types — such as text, enum, image, and relation — at the API level, not just in the frontend UI. The system is built on PHP 8.4 using a custom framework called NENE2, with a React and TypeScript admin interface and an OpenAPI 3.1 contract. AI integrations are supported via an MCP tool catalog derived directly from the documented API, with a strict rule that AI tools must interact through the application API rather than the database. The project, part of a broader suite of self-hosted tools for small teams in Japan, is still in active development but already supports multi-tenant organization scoping, media handling, and public pages.
