How it works

Craft Plugin Suggester finds the right Craft CMS plugin by understanding what you want to build, not just keyword matching.

Describe what you need

Use plain language: "SEO meta tags and sitemaps", "contact form", "multi-language content". No need to know plugin names or categories.

AI finds the match

Semantic search powered by AI embeddings compares your description to a catalog of plugins so results match meaning, not just words.

Get plugin suggestions

A short list of plugins ranked by relevance. Each result links to the official Craft Plugin Store so you can read more and install what fits.

How this website works (technical)

The site is a static frontend (Astro) deployed on Vercel. Search uses semantic similarity over a prebuilt index—no live database.

  • Catalog.

    A JSON catalog holds plugin metadata (title, description, store link, categories), built from the Craft ecosystem and updated periodically.

  • Embeddings.

    At build time, each plugin's text is turned into a vector with an AI embedding model and stored in a static JSON file.

  • Search.

    Your query is converted to a vector; the server compares it to plugin vectors (cosine similarity), optionally boosts keyword matches, and returns the top-ranked plugins.

  • API.

    The frontend calls a serverless search API that reads the precomputed embeddings and returns matching plugins; results link to the Craft Plugin Store.
