MCP Tools for CMS Integration - Comprehensive Planning and Documentation

[wildone]

Overview

Create comprehensive documentation and planning for MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools that enable AI assistants (like ChatGPT) to interact with the Typerefinery CMS. This will allow AI to create, update, and manage content in the JCR repository through a structured set of tools.

Objectives

1. Analyze Reference Content: Study the reference content structure in \ ests/content/src/main/content/jcr_root/content\ to understand how pages, components, and assets are organized

2. Design MCP Tools: Create a comprehensive set of MCP tools for:

   • Creating pages and sites
   • Updating pages and components
   • Finding pages, assets, and components
   • Adding and managing assets
   • Learning and understanding content structure
   • Understanding component capabilities and usage
   • Composing pages with available component layers

3. Documentation: Create comprehensive documentation covering:

   • Overall architecture and process flows (with Mermaid diagrams)
   • MCP tool specifications
   • Content structure analysis
   • Security considerations
   • Architecture evaluation
   • Developer guide
   • Author/Designer guide
   • User guide
   • Component learning documentation
   • Page composition documentation

4. Multi-Perspective Evaluation: Evaluate the solution from:

   • Security perspective
   • Architecture perspective
   • Developer perspective
   • Author perspective
   • Designer perspective
   • User perspective

Key Requirements

MCP Tool Capabilities Needed

• Content Management:

  • Create pages
  • Create sites (page spaces)
  • Update pages
  • Find pages (search and filter)
  • Find assets
  • Add assets
  • Find components
  • Update component content

• Learning and Understanding:

  • Learn and understand content structure
  • Understand how pages are made
  • Learn what each component does and how to use it
  • Understand how to put pages together with layers available in components

Documentation Structure

All documentation should be placed in \docs/mcp/\ directory with multiple documents for different contexts:

1. Overview and Architecture - High-level system design and process flows
2. MCP Tool Specifications - Detailed tool definitions and operations
3. Content Structure Analysis - Analysis of JCR content organization
4. Security Evaluation - Security considerations and best practices
5. Architecture Evaluation - System design and integration patterns
6. Developer Guide - Implementation and extension guide
7. Author/Designer Guide - Content creation workflows
8. User Guide - End-user interaction patterns
9. Component Learning - How AI learns component capabilities
10. Page Composition - Layer-based page building patterns

Acceptance Criteria

• Comprehensive GitHub issue created
• All documentation files created in \docs/mcp/\ directory
• Mermaid diagrams included for process flows
• Multi-perspective evaluation completed
• Reference content analysis documented
• MCP tool specifications defined
• Security considerations documented
• Architecture patterns documented
• User guides for all personas created

Reference Content Location

\ ests/content/src/main/content/jcr_root/content\

This directory contains example pages, components, forms, and assets that demonstrate the CMS structure and should be analyzed to inform MCP tool design.
