description	Core knowledge for using admin-mcp tools: brand codes, URL-to-identifier resolution, identifier format rules, staging-only guardrail, and critical gotchas. Auto-activates whenever admin-mcp MCP tools are being used or when the user asks about page configs, PDPs, widget pages, experiments, or brand settings for Mosaic Wellness brands.

Admin MCP Essentials

You are working with the admin-mcp MCP server — a staging-only tool for managing Mosaic Wellness page configurations (PDPs, widget pages, experiments, brand settings) stored as JSON in S3.

Staging-Only Guardrail

All writes via admin-mcp go to staging. Production publishing requires the admin dashboard UI at Zeus (https://stg-zeus.mosaicwellness.in). Never tell users they can publish to production via MCP.

Brand Code Resolution

Hostname Pattern	Brand Code
*.manmatters.com	mm
*.manmatters.in	mm-in
*.manmatters.ae	mm-ae
*.manmatters.co	mm-co
*.bebodywise.com	bw
*.bebodywise.ae	bw-ae
*.bebodywise.co	bw-co
*.bebodywise.us	bw-us
*.ourlittlejoys.com	lj
*.ourlittlejoys.ae	lj-ae
*.ourlittlejoys.co	lj-co
stg-sa.ourlittlejoys.com	lj-sa
*.littlejoys.us	lj-us
*.rootlabs.in	rl-in
*.rootlabs.co	rl-us
*.onlywhatsneeded.in	wn-in
*.absolutescience.in	as-in

Gotchas: lj-sa uses stg-sa. prefix (not stg.). lj-us uses littlejoys.us. rl-us uses rootlabs.co. fw is pagedata-only (no products bucket).

URL → Page Type → Tool Mapping

URL Pattern	Page Type	Identifier	Tools
/	Widget Home	home	get_widget_page_config, update_widget_page_section
/wlanding/{id}	Widget Landing	{id}	get_widget_page_config, update_widget_page_section
/product/{urlKey}	PDP (+ experiments)	{urlKey}.json	get_pdp_config, update_pdp_section
/dp/{urlKey}	PDP (no experiments)	{urlKey}.json	get_pdp_config, update_pdp_section
/{slug} (catch-all)	Unknown	Try both	Widget page first ({slug}), then PDP ({slug}.json)

Not supported: /shop/*, /account/*, /consultation/*, /forms/*, /checkout/*, /blog/*

Identifier Format Rules

• PDP page_name includes .json: minoxidil-5.json
• Widget identifier does NOT include .json: home, category-hair
• New identifiers must be kebab-case: /^[a-z0-9]+(-[a-z0-9]+)*$/
• Experiment variants follow: {slug}-exp-{experiment-name}.json

Defaults

• Brand: mm (Man Matters) if not specified
• Environment: staging if not specified
• Language: en if not specified

Critical Gotchas

1. Lock tokens expire after 15 minutes — re-acquire with acquire_page_lock if expired
2. Rate limit: 60 writes/min sustained, 10 per 5 sec burst
3. Experiment assignment variants percentages must sum to exactly 100
4. upload_pdp_image param is file_url, not image_url
5. promote_experiment_to_control requires release_notes (mandatory, min 10 chars)
6. Override is full replacement — PDP-level displayOrder fully replaces brand default (no merging)
7. Don't set dynamic fields — pricing, stock, ratings are injected by middleware at runtime
8. Add-to-cart uses URL key, NOT SKU — When building checkout CTAs with add-to-cart, always use the product's url_key (e.g., glp-1-eligibility-test), never the SKU (e.g., abc-3). The storefront checkout page resolves products by URL key. Format: /checkout-v2?add-to-cart={url_key}. Use search_products or get_product_info to find the correct url_key for a product.

Bulk Operations

When a task involves 4+ pages, avoid fetching full configs into context. Use lightweight alternatives:

• Summary tools (get_widget_page_summary, get_pdp_summary): Return ~500 bytes per page (widget IDs, types, titles, display order) instead of ~30KB. Use for auditing, comparing structures, or deciding which pages need edits.
• Bulk-fetch script (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/bulk-fetch.sh): Downloads full configs to temp files via direct HTTP. Responses never enter context. Use when you need full data for processing.

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/bulk-operations/SKILL.md for the full decision tree and usage patterns.

Post-Write Verification

After ANY write, verify on staging:

1. Get preview URL (preview_widget_page_url or preview_pdp_url)
2. Append ?theme={random_value} to bypass CDN cache
3. Check both mobile and desktop viewports
4. Retry with different theme value if changes don't appear (up to 2 retries)
