# 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
