Nohead
API-first headless CMS and data layer for apps, sites, agents and shared data
About this launch
Nohead is a managed, API-first platform for structured data that people and software share. You define collections and typed fields, then access them through a REST API, SDKs, CLI and MCP server. It includes full-text search, file storage with image transformations, webhooks and version history, plus an editor for teams.
Use it as a headless CMS for website content, documentation and knowledge bases, or for product catalogs, listings and reference data. It also handles app configuration and records maintained by agents and sync jobs. Every change by a person or machine is attributed and can be reverted.
Unlike a traditional CMS, the API is the product: everything the editor does, the API and CLI can do too. Unlike a bare database, you don't build your own API, admin screens, search or audit trail. It deliberately avoids SQL and joins, instead optimizing for data that people and systems share rather than high-volume application writes.
What it does
- REST API with SDKs, CLI and MCP server support
- Role-based access control for people and API keys
- Image transformations and CDN delivery with URL-based sizing
- Drafts and scheduled publishing
- Import and export with plain file formats

Shopper questions
What is Nohead, in one paragraph?
A managed, API-first home for structured data that people and software share. You define collections and typed fields, and you get a REST API, full-text search, file storage with image transformations, webhooks and version history, with an editor for your team, a CLI, SDKs and an MCP server around it. Use it as a headless CMS, or for the shared data of something bigger: website content and documentation, knowledge bases, product catalogs and listings, reference data, app configuration, and records your agents and sync jobs maintain. Every change, by a person or a machine, is attributed and can be reverted.
Is it a CMS or a database?
Neither, on purpose: it sits between them. Unlike a CMS, the API is the product: everything the editor can do, the API, the CLI and agents can do too, so nothing is locked behind a screen. Data and schema changes are versioned with who, from where and why, and changing a field's type is a previewed migration. Unlike a bare database, you don't build the API, the admin screens, search or the audit trail yourself.
Does it work with AI agents?
Yes. It is built for them. Coding agents use the CLI, chat apps and agent frameworks connect to the MCP server, and the agents in your own product use the API or an SDK. Each gets a key of its own with only the scopes it needs, every change it makes is in history under that key's name with the reason it gave, and any change can be reverted.
Can I import what I have, and leave later?
Yes. nohead export writes a directory of plain files: a manifest, schema.yaml, one JSON Lines file per collection, asset metadata and, if you ask, every original file and the full history. nohead import recreates it in another project. Records import from JSON Lines with idempotency keys derived from the file, so an interrupted import can be re-run without duplicates.
