In plain words

Grav is an open-source flat-file content management system designed for building websites quickly without a traditional database. It uses Markdown and YAML for content management and supports multiple languages. Grav 2 adds a REST API, an MCP server for AI integration, and a modern admin interface built with SvelteKit. The system suits developers and organizations wanting headless CMS capabilities, CI/CD integration, and real-time collaborative editing features.
