How I moved monthly data refreshes, audits and a daily AI review off a laptop that was often closed, onto GitHub Actions: measuring access first, secrets that never pass through the assistant, one lock and a tested calendar, state kept in git, and the risk review that should have come before the merge.
Structured data and guides are copyable in a weekend. The corpus behind your prices is not. How I turned thousands of hand-typed listings into a dated, sourced median a machine can cite — and the monthly routine that keeps it honest.
At work I’m running a CKEditor 5 migration from v26 to v47 across some twenty in-house plugins. Instead of tracking it all by hand, I wrote ckeditor_audit: a read-only MCP server that sorts every plugin into four migration statuses, flags what’s live in production, searches the code with ripgrep + ast-grep, and cuts the AI token bill by 80 to 95%.
How I built a schema-driven MCP server that lets an AI assistant manage many heterogeneous WordPress sites through a single typed interface — architecture, trade-offs and lessons learned.
