SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Klytos developers and operators often need to ensure feature parity between the Desktop Admin Panel and the MCP AI interface. This Skill provides a structured guide to align workflows, security patterns, and data flows across both interfaces to avoid drift.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Encourages MCP-first development with an Admin Panel fallback.
  • Documents interface differences, authentication patterns, and cross-interface mirroring.
  • Provides a checklist to maintain consistency and enable plugin development coordination.

Quick Start

Explain how to align a feature in MCP and mirror it in the Admin Panel for consistent behavior.

FAQPage Schema
How do I align features between a Desktop Admin Panel and an MCP interface?

To align features between a Desktop Admin Panel and an MCP interface, you mirror tools by sharing business logic, using CSRF tokens for admin authentication and JSON-RPC for MCP requests, ensuring consistent behavior across both control paths.

What is the difference between Desktop Admin Panel and MCP interfaces in Klytos CMS?

The main difference is that the Desktop Admin Panel uses CSRF authentication patterns for browser-based control, while the MCP interface uses JSON-RPC for AI-driven operations. Both share underlying business logic but serve as distinct control paths.

Why should MCP be the primary control path instead of an Admin Panel?

MCP should be the primary control path to prioritize AI-driven automation and direct tool integration. The Admin Panel serves as a structured fallback interface, preventing feature drift by mirroring the core business logic established in the MCP workflow.

How do I configure authentication for JSON-RPC in MCP and CSRF in an admin panel?

You configure authentication by applying CSRF token validation for frontmatter patterns in the Desktop admin panel, while securing JSON-RPC requests through the MCP interface's specific authentication methods, maintaining a shared business logic approach across both.

When do I need to use frontmatter patterns in a CMS with MCP and admin interfaces?

You need frontmatter patterns when documenting required configurations and mirroring features across MCP and admin interfaces. This ensures the AI interface and Desktop Admin Panel maintain security consistency and feature parity without logic drift.
