Steps
- 1Create a unified feature checklist for the web application and MCP, and use Claude Code to build a typed registry to ensure web features automatically sync to the MCP.
- 2Write hand-off documentation describing the required server, have Claude Code break it down into multiple PRs (covering search, application preparation, document processing, submission, etc.), and run real database integration tests.
- 3Write an HTTP server and OAuth 2.1 login flow (supporting dynamic client registration and PKCE) so it can be added as a connector to claude.ai.
- 4Define clear capability boundaries for the chat UI, such as distributing PDF resumes to users via 10-minute expiring download links to preserve formatting.
- 5Dogfood the product deeply within the team, log and iterate on experience issues, and continuously fix and optimize based on feedback from early core users.
Ideas for Chinese platforms
This approach can be migrated to automated operations on platforms like Xiaohongshu or Xianyu, enabling AI to directly call backend databases or publishing tools by building a dedicated MCP service to achieve automated direct message replies, product matching, or order status queries.
