Who

Who each is for

  • LUNO

    Japanese-capable teams that want MCP + forms + per-site/org platform pricing, not CMS-only APIs.

  • microCMS

    Domestic projects that only need a simple Japanese headless content API.

  • When not to choose LUNO

    If GraphQL-free REST content alone is enough and you will not run agents against the backend, microCMS can stay.

Migrate

Migration posture

Model content on LUNO, move entries via API, reconnect Next/Nuxt clients, then enable MCP for ongoing edits.
