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

Copy, don’t recreate

Melis Design is the platform’s style guide and component gallery: every demo is a controller that renders a .phtml, showing how a screen or widget looks with Melis Core’s CSS already applied. They’re templates to copy, not tools wired to real data.

The promise from the README: ‘All styles are already included with Melis Core. There is no need to look for CSS. Just find the HTML and JS if needed and start coding a plugin.’

How it's wired

Just .phtml to copy

Views live under view/melis-design/<area>/ and JS under public/js/<area>/.
