## FAQ

### How can AI agents interact with LightCMS?

Agents can use over 130 MCP tools to read, write, publish, and bulk-import content, or use the public read-only MCP endpoint to search and read the site.

### How do agents safely make changes to the live site?

Agents work in an isolated sandbox with copy-on-write; a human must review the per-field diff and merge the changes to the live site.
