Make your Django admin headless in two lines: add it to INSTALLED_APPS, include the URLs. Every ModelAdmin you've already registered becomes a JSON REST endpoint — same permissions, same forms, same audit log. No parallel auth, no parallel validation, no rewrites. A drop-in API surface for React frontends, MCP servers, and any other JSON client.

Quick Install

      ]
    }
  }
}
