+# Mixcore CMS Template MCP Tools
+
+This implementation provides MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools for interacting with Mixcore CMS templates, allowing LLMs like Claude to create and manage theme templates.
+
+## Available Tools
+
+### Core Template Operations
+
+1. **GetTemplates** - List all templates with filtering
+   - Optional theme ID filter
+   - Optional folder type filter (0-7)
+   - Keyword search in filename and content
+   - Pagination support
+   
+2. **GetTemplateById** - Get a single template by ID
+   - Returns complete template data including content, scripts, styles
+   - Expands view with file system content
+
+3. **CreateTemplate** - Create a new template
+   - Requires filename, extension, folder type, theme ID
+   - Optional content, scripts, styles
+   - Validates uniqueness and theme existence
+
+4. **UpdateTemplate** - Update existing template
+   - Partial updates supported
+   - Can update filename, extension, content, scripts, styles
+
+5. **DeleteTemplate** - Delete a template by ID
+   - Safe deletion with existence validation
+
+6. **CopyTemplate** - Copy existing template
+   - Creates duplicate with "Copy_" prefix
+   - Returns new template ID and filename
+
+### Helper Operations
+
+7. **GetDefaultTemplate** - Get default template structure
+   - Provides template skeleton for different folder types
+   - Includes default scripts and styles blocks
+
+8. **FilterTemplates** - Advanced filtering with JSON criteria
+   - Flexible search with multiple criteria
+   - Supports complex filtering scenarios
+
+9. **GetAvailableThemes** - List all themes
+   - Shows available themes for template creation
+   - Includes theme metadata
+
+10. **GetTemplateFolderTypes** - Get folder type information
+    - Lists all available folder types with descriptions
+    - Helps understand template organization
+
+## Folder Types
+
+The following folder types are supported:
+
+- **0 - Layouts**: Layout templates that define the overall structure of pages
+- **1 - Pages**: Page templates for specific pages  
+- **2 - Modules**: Module templates for specific functionality
+- **3 - Forms**: Form templates for user input
+- **4 - Edms**: Electronic Document Management System templates
+- **5 - Posts**: Post templates for blog/news content
+- **6 - Widgets**: Widget templates for reusable components
+- **7 - Masters**: Master templates for hierarchical structures
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Creating a New Layout Template
+
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "CreateTemplate",
+  "arguments": {
+    "fileName": "main-layout",
+    "extension": "cshtml",
+    "folderType": 0,
+    "themeId": 1,
+    "content": "<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n    <title>@ViewBag.Title</title>\n</head>\n<body>\n    @RenderBody()\n</body>\n</html>",
+    "scripts": "<script>\n// Layout scripts\n</script>",
+    "styles": "<style>\n/* Layout styles */\n</style>"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Searching Templates
+
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "GetTemplates", 
+  "arguments": {
+    "themeId": 1,
+    "folderType": 0,
+    "keyword": "layout",
+    "pageIndex": 0,
+    "pageSize": 10
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Advanced Filtering
+
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "FilterTemplates",
+  "arguments": {
+    "searchCriteria": "{\"keyword\":\"blog\",\"themeId\":1,\"folderType\":5,\"pageIndex\":0,\"pageSize\":20}"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Integration
+
+The tools are automatically registered in the MCP server startup and are available at the `/mcp` endpoint. They use the existing Mixcore CMS infrastructure and maintain consistency with the web API endpoints.
+
+## API Mapping
+
+These MCP tools map to the following Mixcore REST API endpoints:
+
+- `GetTemplates` → `GET /api/v2/rest/mix-portal/mix-template`
+- `GetTemplateById` → `GET /api/v2/rest/mix-portal/mix-template/{id}`
+- `CreateTemplate` → `POST /api/v2/rest/mix-portal/mix-template`
+- `UpdateTemplate` → `PUT /api/v2/rest/mix-portal/mix-template/{id}`
+- `DeleteTemplate` → `DELETE /api/v2/rest/mix-portal/mix-template/{id}`
+- `CopyTemplate` → `GET /api/v2/rest/mix-portal/mix-template/copy/{id}`
+- `GetDefaultTemplate` → `GET /api/v2/rest/mix-portal/mix-template/default`
+- `FilterTemplates` → `POST /api/v2/rest/mix-portal/mix-template/filter`
+
+This ensures LLMs can perform all the same operations available through the web interface while maintaining data consistency and security.

+# Mixcore CMS Template MCP Tools - Usage Examples for LLMs
+
+This document shows how LLMs (like Claude) can use the MCP tools to create and manage Mixcore CMS templates.
+
+## Example Workflow: Creating a Blog Template Theme
+
+### 1. First, discover available themes and folder types
+
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "GetAvailableThemes",
+  "arguments": {}
+}
+```
+
+Response:
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "Id": 1,
+    "SystemName": "default-theme",
+    "Title": "Default Theme",
+    "CreatedDateTime": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "GetTemplateFolderTypes",
+  "arguments": {}
+}
+```
+
+Response:
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "Value": 0,
+    "Name": "Layouts",
+    "Description": "Layout templates that define the overall structure of pages"
+  },
+  {
+    "Value": 5,
+    "Name": "Posts", 
+    "Description": "Post templates for blog/news content"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+### 2. Create a main layout template
+
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "CreateTemplate",
+  "arguments": {
+    "fileName": "blog-layout",
+    "extension": "cshtml",
+    "folderType": 0,
+    "themeId": 1,

+    "pageSize": 20
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Make updates to a template
+
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "UpdateTemplate",
+  "arguments": {
+    "id": 1,
+    "content": "<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n    <meta charset=\"utf-8\" />\n    <title>@ViewBag.Title - My Awesome Blog</title>\n    <meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\">\n    <link href=\"https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap\" rel=\"stylesheet\">\n    @RenderSection(\"Styles\", false)\n</head>\n<body>\n    <!-- Updated content with better typography -->\n</body>\n</html>"

+
+### 7. Create a copy for a different theme variation
+
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "CopyTemplate",
+  "arguments": {
+    "id": 1
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Search templates by content
+
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "FilterTemplates",
+  "arguments": {
+    "searchCriteria": "{\"keyword\":\"blog\",\"pageSize\":50}"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Get a specific template's full details
+
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "GetTemplateById",
+  "arguments": {
+    "id": 1
+  }
+}
+```
+
