Authenticated connection probe	Yes	Yes
Up to 10 element types per call	Yes	Extended tools

Lite is free to use under the limited commercial licence. Source visibility does not grant redistribution or resale rights.

Prerequisites

Python 3.10 or newer. GMC Builder installed on the target site: WordPress authoring API (2.0.0+) with an Application Password, or Joomla remote API (2.0.1+) with the shared X-Gmc-Builder-Key. This repository does not distribute GMC Builder. Obtain the CMS product through GMC; no layout-export endpoint is included in Lite.

Install from GitHub

console

git clone https://github.com/gmcfuerte/gmcbuilder-mcp-lite.git
cd gmcbuilder-mcp-lite
python -m venv .venv

Windows:

console

.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install .

macOS/Linux:

console

.venv/bin/python -m pip install .

This Lite edition is distributed through this GitHub repository; it has not been published to PyPI. Do not install the separate full Pro package as a substitute for Lite.

Configure

Copy sites.example.json to a local sites.json and keep only the sites you own or are authorized to access. The file is ignored by Git.
Set the credential environment variables named by username_env, password_env, and the applicable Joomla token/key field. Never put credential values in committed JSON or an MCP chat.
Set GMCBUILDER_MCP_LITE_SITES to the absolute path of that local JSON file.
Add the server using mcp.example.json: replace the placeholders with the absolute Python executable and configuration file paths. Ensure the MCP client passes the credential variables to its child process.
Start with gmcbuilder_lite_list_sites, then gmcbuilder_lite_ping_site.

rest_mode: "query" supports WordPress without pretty REST URLs; otherwise use pretty. Subdirectory installations are supported in the base URL.

Tools

gmcbuilder_lite_list_sites: aliases and platforms only.
gmcbuilder_lite_ping_site: one authenticated GET, sanitized status only.
gmcbuilder_lite_list_element_types: List at most ten builder element type names; no schema or kit export.
gmcbuilder_lite_summarize_layout: pass the text from layout.example.json as layout_json. Returns counts and types; no settings or content.

The server runs locally using stdio. No remote HTTP server, uploads, arbitrary URLs, SSH, license switch or Pro modules are included. Online tools use a fixed GET allowlist, verified TLS, no redirects, at most one request at a time per configured base URL, a two-second interval, and a 1 MiB response limit. HTTP is accepted only for exact loopback hosts. HTTP 403/415 stops subsequent requests to that base URL until restart.

Release status

Initial Lite release: source and package contents inspected and Python compiled. Site integration and runtime tests have not been performed. Do not treat this initial release as a production integration certification.
