Warning

Experimental. This extension is experimental and not yet ready for production use. It is built on top of WebMCP, which is itself an experimental, early-stage proposal. Both the underlying specification and this extension's API may change or break at any time without notice. Use at your own risk.

Configuration

Extension configuration

Set these in the TYPO3 backend under Admin Tools > Settings > Extension Configuration > neoblack_webmcp (the defaults live in ext_conf_template.txt).

analyticsEnabled

Type: boolean
Default: 1

Log each WebMCP tool call (tool name + coarse client hint, no PII) to tx_neoblackwebmcp_event and expose the backend module. Turn off to disable the ingest endpoint (/webmcp-event is then passed through).

analyticsRateLimit

Type: integer
Default: 60

Maximum accepted ingest calls per client IP per minute (0 = unlimited). Protects the public endpoint against flooding and statistics pollution; excess calls are answered with 429 Too Many Requests. The limiter uses the extension's own cache and only stores a hashed, short-lived counter — no plaintext IP.

Wiring the manifest into your site

Three pieces connect the tools to the page. All of them live in your site package / TypoScript, so you stay in control of where the tools are exposed.

1. Emit the manifest

Add the data processor to the page's FLUIDTEMPLATE (or PAGEVIEW). If a tool provider relies on an earlier data processor (e.g. a MenuProcessor), make sure that runs first.

page.10.dataProcessing {
    # optional: a menu a navigate tool can build on
    35 = menu
    35 {
        entryLevel = 0
        levels = 1
        as = webmcpTopics
    }
    40 = Neoblack\Webmcp\DataProcessing\ToolManifestProcessor
    40 {
        endpoint = /webmcp-event
        as = webmcpConfigJson
    }
}

endpoint

Type: string
Default: /webmcp-event

Analytics beacon target written into the manifest.

as

Type: string
Default: webmcpConfigJson

Variable the JSON manifest is assigned to.

2. Render the JSON block

Output the manifest once per page inside a <script> tag with the id webmcp-config (the id the runtime looks for):

<f:if condition="{webmcpConfigJson}">
    <script type="application/json" id="webmcp-config"><f:format.raw>{webmcpConfigJson}</f:format.raw></script>
</f:if>

3. Include the runtime

page.includeJSFooter {
    webmcp = EXT:neoblack_webmcp/Resources/Public/JavaScript/webmcp.js
    webmcp.defer = 1
}

Backend module

When analytics is enabled, the System > WebMCP module visualises tool usage. Its data model, retention and the hardening of the public ingest endpoint are described in Analytics.
