Roadmap

This roadmap outlines our vision for the Drupal MCP module. We’re committed to building a robust, secure, and developer-friendly integration between Drupal and AI applications.

Foundation (Delivered)

The following foundational features have been implemented and are available in the current release:

Foundation

Status: Completed

  • MCP Protocol Layer - Full implementation of the Model Context Protocol specification for Drupal, enabling standardized communication between Drupal and AI applications
  • Plugin System for Tools and Resources - Extensible plugin architecture allowing developers to create custom tools and expose specific resources through the MCP interface
  • STDIO Transport Layer - Standard Input/Output transport implementation with Docker, binary, and JSR package distributions for local development and air-gapped environments
  • Basic Version of HTTP Transport - HTTP POST endpoint implementation enabling direct communication with Drupal sites, laying groundwork for future streaming capabilities
  • Foundational Security - Role-based access control with “Use MCP server” permission, secure credential handling, and configurable content exposure settings
  • Submodules for AI Agents and Drush - Two optional submodules: mcp_extra for AI agent integration and mcp_dev_tools for controlled Drush command execution through MCP
  • Token Authentication - Secure token-based authentication system integrated with Drupal’s Key module for production-ready deployments
  • Configuration UI - Administrative interface at /admin/config/mcp for managing authentication, plugins, and module settings through Drupal’s familiar UI

Upcoming Features

Below are the topics we plan to deliver up next:

Native MCP Authorization

Status: In progress
