AI-Native Headless CMS
Build websites with AI.
Not with plugins.
A forkable headless CMS designed for the AI era. Build your site on a secure, production-ready foundation. Only include what you need — nothing more.
A minimal foundation. You build the rest.
Cloudcore provides content management, authentication, and media handling — the essentials every site needs. Everything else is custom to your project. Build exactly what your users need with AI-assisted development, without shipping features you don't use.
Deployed as edge isolates on Cloudflare Workers, Cloudcore has no traditional server infrastructure — no filesystem, no exposed runtimes, no server configuration to manage. Your site's attack surface is limited to the code you write and the four dependencies you ship.
100% Free to Run
Runs entirely on Cloudflare's free tier. Workers, D1, R2, Pages all free. No credit card required. No surprise bills. Most sites will never pay a cent.
AI-Ready Codebase
Every repo includes structured documentation that AI coding assistants can read. Add features, build pages, or customize the design with AI-assisted development workflows.
Fork It, Own It
No vendor lock-in. No proprietary formats. No marketplace fees. Fork the repo, it's yours forever. MIT licensed. Customize everything.
Edge-Deployed Globally
Runs on Cloudflare Workers across 300+ cities. Sub-50ms response times worldwide. No servers to manage, no scaling to worry about.
Security by Default
Enterprise-grade security built in. CSRF protection, rate limiting, hashed sessions, RBAC, SVG sanitization, and more.
Read-Only Public API
Deploy a separate read-only API for your frontend. Lock the CMS behind Cloudflare Access. Zero write operations, zero user data exposed to the internet.
How it works
From zero to a live website in minutes.
Fork the CMS and a frontend starter
Pick React, Next.js, or Astro. Or build your own with any framework.
Customize with AI or by hand
Use AI-assisted development to build pages, add features, or customize the design. The codebase is structured for both human and AI readability.

| Scaling | Single server, manual scaling | Auto-scales across 300+ cities |
| Cost | $5-50+/month for hosting alone | $0 — runs on Cloudflare free tier |
| Customization | Install plugins for common features | AI builds exactly what you need |
| Ownership | Tied to platform and plugin ecosystem | MIT licensed — fork and it's yours |
Open Source. Free Forever.
