Easy, flexible and powerful cloud-native Laravel CMS package powered by AI with JSON:API, GraphQL API, templates, and themes
Pagible is a Laravel CMS package that drops into an existing app and gives you structured content management with a Vue 3 admin panel, JSON:API and GraphQL endpoints, multi-tenancy, and AI-assisted content generation. It's aimed at PHP shops that want something between WordPress (too opinionated, too coupled) and Contentful (too expensive, too external). The aimeos team built it, so it has real pedigree — they've shipped a production e-commerce platform in the same ecosystem for years.
The modular monorepo split into 10 sub-packages is genuinely well-thought-out — you can take the JSON:API read layer without dragging in the AI bits. The custom Laravel Scout FTS engine covering SQLite FTS5, MySQL FULLTEXT, PostgreSQL tsvector, and SQL Server CONTAINSTABLE in one abstraction is solid engineering that saves you from reaching for Elasticsearch on day one. The Cypress suite covering individual field components, list views, and detail views is more thorough than most open-source CMS projects bother with. MCP support with 30+ tools is a real differentiator if you want LLM agents managing content rather than humans.
The dist/ directory is committed directly to the repo — built Vue assets and all — which is a code review nightmare and signals the project isn't set up for clean contributor workflows. AI configuration requires juggling API keys for four separate providers (OpenAI, Gemini, Clipdrop, DeepL) to get full feature coverage; there's no sane default that works with one key. At 571 stars and 13 forks, the community is thin enough that you'd essentially be on your own when something breaks in production. The 'Simple as WordPress, the power of Contentful' framing sets expectations it probably can't meet — WordPress's plugin ecosystem and Contentful's reliability SLAs are not things a young open-source package can replicate.
