  "what": "Strapi is an MIT-licensed Node.js headless CMS with an auto-generated admin panel, REST and GraphQL APIs, and a plugin system. The self-hosted Community edition is free with unlimited seats; Strapi Cloud starts at $35/mo for 100k API requests and 50GB storage.",
  "why": "The default when you want a conventional admin UI plus full control of the database and hosting. Large plugin ecosystem and a well-trodden migration path off WordPress.",
  "warn": "Editorial extras — review workflows, audit logs, SSO — sit behind Growth or Enterprise. Cloud overages run $1.50 per extra 25k API requests. Native MCP is still in development; today's options are community plugins.",
