What is Melis Platform?

Melis Platform is a free, Open Source Digital Experience Platform (DXP) made in France that unifies CMS, e-commerce, marketing and CRM, and natively embeds generative and agentic AI through Melis AI, with Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration.

How does Melis Platform use AI?

Melis AI brings generative AI (content creation, translation, page layout) and agentic AI (multi-step automated tasks) into the back office, and uses MCP to connect with external AI models and tools across CMS, commerce, marketing and CRM.

What is MCP integration in Melis Platform?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets Melis Platform connect to external AI models, tools and data, and expose its own content, commerce and CRM context to AI agents, so agentic workflows can operate on the DXP.

Is Melis Platform open source and free?

Yes. The Community Edition is free and Open Source. Professional and Enterprise editions add support, SLA and custom development.

What makes Melis Platform different from other DXPs or CMSs?

It is one of the few Open Source DXPs to combine CMS, e-commerce, marketing and CRM in one extensible PHP platform, and among the first to make the DXP intelligent with native generative and agentic AI and MCP, without vendor lock-in and with European / GDPR sovereignty.

Overview

Go multilingual in three steps

This tool holds every language the platform knows — English, French, and any other you add. It’s the starting point for a multilingual site.

The chain is always the same: create the language here, enable it on a site, then create the page version in that language.

Key features

One list, every language

The platform-wide source of truth that powers site languages and page versions.

Master language list

Every language the platform supports, in one place.

Locale, name & status

Each language has its locale, display name and active status.

The 3-step chain

Create here → enable on the site → create the page version.

Powers site languages

Only languages added here can be offered by a site.

Powers page versions

Each page gets its own version per enabled language.

Shared across sites

One language list serves every site on the platform.

LanguageController runs the languages tool.

Form factories

MelisCmsLanguageSelect and MelisCmsPageLanguagesSelect feed BO selects.

Engine + switch

MelisEngineLang exposes languages; MelisPageLangLink links a page to its other-language equivalent.

// Link a page to its equivalent in another language (view helper):
$this->MelisPageLangLink($pageId, 'fr_FR', true);

// Languages are exposed (cached) by the engine:
$langSvc = $sm->get('MelisEngineLang');
