Enhancement Scope and Integration Strategy

Enhancement Overview

Enhancement Type: Brownfield Web Interface Foundation
Scope: Read-only proof of concept evolving to full project management and knowledge base
Integration Impact: Low-risk addition to existing ecosystem

Integration Approach

Code Integration Strategy: MCP server extension pattern - add new tools alongside existing 40+ tools without disrupting current workflows

Database Integration: Leverage existing Directus collections with minimal additive fields

API Integration: Use existing Directus GraphQL/REST APIs, extend MCP server with read-focused tools

UI Integration: Standalone web application with Visual Editor for inline task/project editing

Compatibility Requirements

  • Existing API Compatibility: Full backward compatibility - all current MCP tools continue unchanged
  • Database Schema Compatibility: Additive fields only, no modifications to existing schema
  • UI/UX Consistency: Visual Editor provides modern web interface while preserving CLI workflows
  • Performance Impact: Minimal - read operations with smart caching, no impact on current workflows
