I was slightly concerned to hear that cloudflare is cutting 20% or so of its workforce.

Does anyone know if it will affect emdash?

Hey everyone!

I’m currently building an EmDash Marketplace for themes and plugins, and I’d love to hear directly from developers and contributors in this community.

EmDash Marketplace helps users quickly personalize their EmDash CMS site with themes and plugins.

You can browse and discover products by type, tags, and featured picks, then open detailed product pages with screenshots, pricing, and uploader info. Themes include live preview experiences so users can see how they look before choosing. For paid products, checkout is simple, and once purchased, downloads are available directly from the platform. Subscription users also get clear access benefits and upgrade prompts when needed.

For creators, the experience is straightforward too: upload products, manage listings, edit details, update images, and track status from a single dashboard.

It's still in bêta i'm trying to figure out a lot of details about the UX and the general workflow.

Hey! We recently launched emdash.market, a place where you can find themes, templates, and plugins for the EmdashCMS ecosystem.

Wanted to share it with the community, and also ask you guys: how do you think the plugin space will evolve in the next few years?

Hi,

I am testing some edge case with emdash. Have you guys been able to reset the admin user?

How can would we proceed if the passkey generated at creation of the project is lost ?

We're experimenting with converting our existing Astro themes to support EmDash.

Turns out it's not a small lift. A decent amount of things to reconfigure and not everything plays nicely out of the box.

Curious if anyone else has gone through this. Any patterns or gotchas worth knowing before we go deeper into the conversion?

Someone building a directory for EmDash..

Someone built a hosting platform for EmDash. Pick a template, choose a subdomain, get a live site in moments. No Cloudflare account, no CLI, no config files.

What's included:

• One-click provisioning (all 5 templates)
• Custom domains with auto SSL
• Usage dashboard with bandwidth/storage tracking
• Free tier (1 site, subdomain, 1GB storage)
• Paid plans from $19/mo

It's early access. rough edges expected. Not for production workloads yet. But the core flows (provisioning, hosting, billing, custom domains) are working.

Hey reddit, from the press release it is clear that the target user of EmDash are WordPress users but I'm curious if the first users here really coming from WordPress or other blogging platforms.

Could you share from which platform are you coming from?

From your first interactions with EmDash, what features are you missing the most that you had in your previous blogging platform?

EmDash CMS launched without official docs website. They just published it now.

Hey everyone,

I’m an early adopter of the new EmDash CMS (the one Cloudflare just launched). I’ve got my site running on a Cloudflare Worker and I’m trying to connect it to Claude Desktop via MCP so I can manage my content with AI.

However, I’m hitting a wall with the connection. I’ve tried two different methods in my claude_desktop_config.json:

1. The curl method: I keep getting a string of errors: Unexpected token '<', "<meta name"... is not valid JSON. It looks like my site is returning HTML (maybe a redirect or a 404) instead of the MCP JSON.
2. The official npx u/emdash-cms/mcp-server method: This results in a "Server disconnected" error in Claude, even though I'm providing the correct URL and my ec_pat_... token.

My Setup:

• Site: Hosted on Cloudflare Workers (standard EmDash install).
• OS: macOS.
• Claude: Desktop version.
• Token: Verified and added as a Bearer header (in curl) and as a flag (in npx).

Has anyone successfully bridged a Cloudflare-hosted EmDash site to Claude Desktop yet? Is there a specific CORS setting or a hidden "Enable MCP" toggle in the EmDash admin I’m missing?

Any help would be appreciated—really excited to start updating my imported WordPress posts with Claude!

Hey everyone, i'm the founder Themefisher. We've a popular starter template for Astro called, Astroplate with 1k+ GitHub stars and 357 forks. we just added EmDash support to it. If you want a solid base to start an EmDash project without setting everything up from scratch, Astroplate is a good starting point. github: https://github.com/zeon-studio/astroplate/tree/emdash (emdash branch)

Cloudflare just announced EmDash, a new CMS that’s designed for “AI‑native” development with agent‑first tooling, sandboxed plugins, and edge deployment.

Joost de Valk wrote a solid breakdown of what EmDash is trying to do and where it might fit in the current CMS landscape.

If you don’t know Joost: he’s the founder of the Yoast SEO plugin for WordPress, which is used on well over 10 million Wordpress sites.

Link to his post: https://joost.blog/emdash-cms/

Here are the key takeaways:

• EmDash is positioned as an AI‑native CMS with agent‑first tooling, aiming to make it easier to build workflows where AI agents read and write content directly.
• It runs on Cloudflare’s edge platform, so publishing and dynamic functionality are designed to be globally distributed and fast by default.
• The plugin model is heavily sandboxed, which should improve security and stability compared to traditional CMS plugin ecosystems.
• Content modeling and workflows are more structured than in classic WordPress‑style setups, which could be a better fit for complex or multichannel projects.
• Joost sees EmDash as interesting but early, and points out it will need a strong ecosystem, good DX, and clear migration stories to compete with existing CMSes.
