General
What is T3AF?
The shared AI foundation for T3Planet TYPO3 extensions: AI providers, MCP, AI Credits, logs and governance. It also runs on its own. See What Does It Do?.Is T3AF free? Is there a premium version?
T3AF is free and open source, with no license key and no registration. There is one version. Runcomposer require nitsan/ns-t3af or install it from the TYPO3 Extension Repository. See Installation.
Does it work on the frontend?
It has no frontend plugin of its own. It powers backend AI features and MCP agents. Visitors see AI through child extensions such as the AI Assistant (T3AI) or the AI Chatbot (T3AC).Which TYPO3 and PHP versions are supported?
TYPO3 13.4 and 14.3+ with PHP 8.2–8.5. TYPO3 12 is no longer supported since 2.0.0. See System Requirements.Providers
Do I need AI Credits?
No. Your own API keys are the default. AI Credits is an optional add-on for teams that do not want to manage their own AI vendor accounts.Own API keys or AI Credits: what is the difference?
With your own keys, you pay the AI vendor directly (OpenAI, Anthropic and others), and requests go from your server to that vendor with no T3Planet server in between. With AI Credits, you pay T3Planet from one balance on your account, usable on any install, and requests are routed through T3Planet to the AI providers.Which provider should I use?
OpenAI GPT-4o and Claude Sonnet are popular for quality. Gemini Flash is fast and cost-effective for bulk tasks. See AI Providers.Can I use Ollama locally?
Yes, with a custom endpoint or the Ollama provider type. This is useful for development without cloud API costs.Test connection fails, but the key is correct
Check the spelling of the model ID, outbound HTTPS from your server, and the vendor’s service status. See Known Problems.AI Credits
The AI Credits toggle is on, but AI fails
Click Activate after you enable AI Credits. The toggle alone is not enough. See AI Credits.I get a zero balance error
Top up your AI Credits. You can check the balance on the Dashboard.MCP
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol, a standard that lets AI tools such as Cursor or Claude Desktop connect to TYPO3. T3AF ships 100+ MCP tools. See MCP Server.How do I keep MCP access under control?
Use HTTPS and OAuth, limit which backend users may authorize agents, and test write actions in a draft workspace first.Cursor will not connect
Check that MCP is enabled, the site uses HTTPS, and the OAuth metadata URLs return HTTP 200. See the health check in MCP Server.Privacy
Is data sent to US providers?
With OpenAI and Claude, yes, unless you choose EU options such as Azure EU or Mistral. Check your data processing agreement with the vendor.Are prompts logged?
That depends on the privacy level in AI Permissions. Choose Minimal or Standard to log less.Installation
Composer reports a conflict with another MCP package
Remove the conflicting MCP server package before you installnitsan/ns-t3af. See Known Problems.
