AI control of YOOtheme Pro layouts through MCP

CS MCP for YOOtheme Pro connects MCP-compatible AI applications to YOOtheme Pro's settings, builder layouts, templates and caches.

In plain terms, this paid add-on lets an MCP-connected AI application inspect and change selected YOOtheme Pro data on a Joomla site.

This job exists because YOOtheme Pro stores much of a site's design and page-builder content in formats that Joomla's general administrator tools do not interpret. Joomla core can edit template styles, articles and modules, manage permissions, and clear Joomla caches, but it does not provide an MCP server or understand YOOtheme's customizer JSON and builder layout structure. A template override is useful when changing how output is rendered, not when exposing or editing those stored YOOtheme settings. An extension is therefore the usual route for this kind of integration. According to the listing, this add-on goes beyond core by providing 14 YOOtheme-specific MCP tools, including layout inspection and saving, setting changes, template switching, health checks and YOOtheme cache clearing.

It is aimed at teams already using YOOtheme Pro that want an AI workflow for site maintenance, layout changes or diagnostics, with the connected tools operating under stated Joomla and YOOtheme permissions. The listing says changes are restricted to Super Users in this first version. A conventional Joomla site without YOOtheme Pro, or a team with no MCP-compatible AI workflow, has no obvious use for it.

Before installing, note that it is a yearly subscription from Cybersalt and requires the separate CS MCP for J extension and YOOtheme Pro. The directory shows Cybersalt with 11 other extensions, but this listing has no reviews. The developer says it was tested on Joomla 6 with PHP 8.2+ and YOOtheme Pro 5.0.53; Joomla 5 and busy production sites were not tested. The listing does not give the subscription price, and it does not clearly spell out add-on compatibility for Joomla 5. We have not tested it.
