Grav is a fast, flat-file content management system built on PHP, Markdown, Twig, and Symfony components that requires no database. Version 2.0 adds a first-party REST API, a rebuilt SvelteKit SPA admin with real-time collaboration, and an MCP server for AI agent access.
Use cases
- build a fast website without a database
- flat-file cms for a blog or documentation site
- headless cms with a rest api
- manage site content with markdown files in git
- let ai agents edit my website via mcp
- self-hosted cms that installs by unzipping
- multi-language website with markdown content
When to choose
- you want a database-free, git-friendly cms that deploys by unzipping
- you need markdown-based content with Twig templating flexibility
- you want a headless/API-first cms or AI-agent-manageable site
- you prefer lightweight, fast sites over heavyweight database CMSs like WordPress
When to avoid
- you need relational data, user-generated content at scale, or complex database queries
