About Contentrain

Contentrain is a Git-native content governance system for UI copy, docs, and locale strings, aimed at products where AI agents create and edit content in code. Content stays in the Git repository, typed models constrain its structure, and changes go through branches, diffs, validation, and review before reaching production.

Developers start locally with open-source MIT packages: an MCP server, CLI, SDK, types, rules, and agent skills. The CLI scans a codebase for user-visible hardcoded strings, extracts them into models and content files in Git, and generates query access. It works with AI agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, frameworks including Nuxt, Next.js, and Astro, and GitHub or GitLab.

Contentrain Studio adds a shared workspace for teams, with structured editing, roles, reviewer workflows, branch health and merge controls, and a project-aware AI that finds and updates content on request. Studio also offers CDN delivery and media storage where enabled. It is used by developers, content teams, platform teams, and agencies reusing models across client projects.
