What does Silo run on?
–
One TypeScript process on Bun, with just six runtime dependencies. No database server, cache, queue or search cluster, and it can compile to a standalone binary.
Can I run more than one Silo?
+
Yes. Give each instance its own data directory and port, and multiple Silos can run on the same machine.
How do I model my content?
+
With JSON Schema Draft 2020-12. Every write is validated against the schema, and the admin UI generates forms from it.
How does authentication work?
+
Silo uses API keys with explicit claims instead of users and roles. Access is denied by default, and keys can only delegate permissions they already have.
How do AI agents connect?
+
Through Silo’s MCP server. Claude, Codex, Cursor and other MCP clients can read and modify content using the same permissions as the REST API.
Can I extend silo?
+
Yes. Plugins can add hooks, API routes, runtime logic, admin panels and storage providers.
Can I move my content elsewhere?
+
Yes. Export projects, environments, collections, entries and media, then import them into another Silo instance or anywhere you want.
Is my data locked into Silo?
+
No. Schemas are JSON Schema, content is plain JSON, the API is REST, and the filesystem format doubles as an export format.
