DNN AI Assistant & MCP Server

This extension adds an AI-powered chat to the DNN PersonaBar and exposes DNN as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so external AI clients can use your portal's tools.

In-portal chat uses multiple LLM providers (Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenAI, and more) via LlmTornado. You need an API key from your chosen provider (e.g. Anthropic) to use the built-in chat.

MCP server allows clients such as Goose, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Desktop to connect to your DNN portal and use the same tools (pages, modules, files, Open Content, etc.) with Bearer token authentication.

Use with caution . AiChat can make changes to your DNN portal.
