Boring CMS
Headless CMS in one Node process. Zero dependencies.
Boring CMS is a headless CMS that runs as a single Node process on SQLite. One deploy serves many projects, each with its own database, API keys and content model. It starts in 59 ms, idles at 65 MB and ships with zero runtime dependencies. You get an admin UI, a REST API with ETag caching, and a built-in MCP server so AI agents can manage content. Try it with `npx boring-cms`. MIT licensed.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Amit, maker of Boring CMS.
I run many small sites and apps. Each needed the same thing: a place to edit content, an API to read it, and no operational overhead. Hosted CMS pricing scales with projects and seats. Self-hosted ones scale with moving parts. So I built one process, one folder, and no runtime dependencies to patch.
What you get:
- Multi-project from day one, each project with its own SQLite database, API keys and content model
- Draft and publish, field-level revisions, webhooks, media library (local disk or S3-compatible)
- REST API with ETag caching, so clients get cheap 304s until the next publish
- A per-project MCP server, so Claude, Cursor or any MCP client can create and edit entries while you review and publish
- 59 ms cold start, 65 MB idle, 533 KB unpacked, zero runtime dependencies
Try it: npx boring-cms (needs Node 24). MIT licensed.
I would love feedback on the content API and the MCP tools. What would make you switch from your current CMS?
