Drupal AI Initiative: Drupal AI Development Progress Week 45-46
MCP is released in a new 1.2 version
Omedia has put a lot of effort into getting the 1.2 version of MCP out. The module is now security covered, it works with the Tool API, adds OAuth authentication, a much better configuration system and a first preview of MCP Studio.
It now fully supports the HTTP and STDIO transports and independent where you want to source your tools, AI function calling, Drush commands or Tool API its all just available.
Read more about Giorgi Jibladze's post on LinkedIn.
LMStudio is Stable
Thanks to Andrei Ivnitskii (ivnish), the first stable version of the LMStudio provider for the Drupal AI module is now available. This release introduces full integration with LMStudio, giving developers a local, flexible, and GUI-driven environment for running and testing AI models directly from their Drupal site.
This integration is built for developers and data scientists who need a controlled testing environment, but find Ollama or vLLM too complex to set up and use. By pairing Drupal AI with LMStudio, you can iterate quickly, test safely, and work offline - perfect for preparing models before scaling up to cloud-based providers.
Try it out and help out in https://www.drupal.org/project/ai_provider_lmstudio
Meet the QA team!
I met with the awesome AI Initiative QA team a couple of weeks ago and they have set up processes for how both manual and automated QA can happen on issues.
They have an issue where you can follow their work on here: https://www.drupal.org/project/ai_initiative/issues/3550700
The idea is to standardize the "Needs QA" tag, where you as a developer can request manual testing and get feedback on the process.
Next steps, include looking into how DrupalForge/DrupalPod can be used for AI purposes to start images based on an issue on DrupalForge with the push of a button and also local development environments.
If you want to get in touch with the team they are on #ai-quality-insurance Slack channel.
Work on the 2.0 release is on its way
We have already started working on deprecations of modules, and other code for an 1.3.0 release and the work on all the refactors needed for 2.0 is started. The goal is to have a version ready by the end of the year and that fixes up a lot of architectural decisions made in 1.x branch and also removes a lot of features that were experimental, but never really usable.
Note that there will not be that many features in the 2.0 branch, but the focus is rather on better code architecture, better UX, extraction of modules and removal of features that don't work well.
By removing modules, we hope we can have an even faster development and release pace going forward.
Check the issue queue for more information.
Multiple Automators on one field
One of the larger rewrites for 2.0 is Automators - and one of the features this will bring is the possibility to add multiple Automators one field. While this has been possible in theory in the 1.x branches, this required you to do complex config imports - now they will be a part of the native UI/UX of the Automators.
This together with the Field Widget Actions, means that you can have multiple ways of generating one part of a field, or one button per part of a field.
This means that on an image field for instance, you could setup a button that generates the image, another that renames the file name and a third that creates an alt text.
Or if you want a summarize button in a friendly manner and another in a formal manner, you can have both on the same field.
This is ready to be tested on 2.0.x-dev, but please note that the external Automators modules will also need changes due to breaking changes.
A huge thanks to Bryan Sharpe from ImageX for this and anyone helping with testing and reviewing.

Drupal AI Initiative: Helping Organizations Turn AI Potential into Real Impact

Across every sector, leaders see the potential of AI, but many are struggling to turn that potential into measurable value.
Gartner's 2023 and 2024 findings show that a significant proportion of AI projects stall before reaching production, often due to unclear use cases and limited organizational readiness. The MIT Sloan Management Review highlights that, while most executives recognize AI's transformative potential, few can translate it into ROI.
That's why we created our new series of Drupal AI Industry Guides, to help organizations understand where AI can deliver real, responsible, and measurable impact. Each guide is written by sector experts with firsthand experience implementing AI with Drupal.
Designed for Action, Not Theory
These guides are about doing more with less - a key message in today's digital landscape. Each one features four practical AI use cases that your organization can adopt right now using Drupal AI.
Every use case is grounded in ROI and designed to show how AI can:
Simplify and speed up workflows
- Improve customer and citizen experiences
- Unlock data-driven insight
- Reduce operational costs and risk
Drupal AI brings freedom of choice and rapid innovation to AI adoption. It combines the trust of open source with the power of artificial intelligence.
Expert-Led Guides for Every Industry
Each guide is authored by a Drupal AI sector specialist, professionals who understand both the technology and the real-world challenges of their industries. These guides are designed to move teams from curiosity to capability, showing that

AI doesn't have to be experimental - it can be effective, ethical, and immediate.

Dries Buytaert: DrupalCon Nara keynote Q&A
DrupalCon Nara just wrapped up, and it left me feeling energized.
During the opening ceremony, Nara City Mayor Gen Nakagawa shared his ambition to make Nara the most Drupal-friendly city in the world. I've attended many conferences over the years, but I've never seen a mayor talk about open source as part of his city's long-term strategy. It was surprising, encouraging, and even a bit surreal.
Because Nara came only five weeks after DrupalCon Vienna, I didn't prepare a traditional keynote. Instead, Pam Barone, CTO of Technocrat and a member of the Drupal CMS leadership team, led a Q&A.
I like the Q&A format because it makes space for more natural questions and more candid answers than a prepared keynote allows.
We covered a lot: the momentum behind Drupal CMS, the upcoming Drupal Canvas launch, our work on a site template marketplace, how AI is reshaping digital agencies, why governments are leaning into open source for digital sovereignty, and more.
If you want more background, my DrupalCon Vienna keynote offers helpful context and includes a video recording with product demos.
The event also featured excellent sessions with deep dives into these topics. All session recordings are available on the DrupalCon Nara YouTube playlist.
Having much of the Drupal CMS leadership team together in Japan also turned the week into a working session. We met daily to align on our priorities for the next six months.
On top of that, I spent most of my time in back-to-back meetings with Drupal agencies and end-users. Hearing about their ambitions and where they need help gave me a clearer sense of where Drupal should go next.
Thank you to the organizers and to everyone who took the time to meet. The commitment and care of the community in Japan really stood out.
