# Composer MCP: Composition Lifecycle Analysis Findings
**Date:** 2025-06-09
**Session:** Interface Exploration & Network Analysis
**Status:** ✅ Complete - 3-Step Process Documented
## Executive Summary
Successfully documented the complete 3-step composition lifecycle for Composer MCP implementation. All operations are client-side with URL-based state persistence, eliminating backend API complexity.
## Key Findings
### ✅ Step 1: Create New Composition
- **Trigger:** "Nova composição" button on home page
- **Result:** Navigation to `/embed/composer` with empty canvas
- **Implementation:** Direct button click, no API calls required
### ✅ Step 2: Edit Metadata
- **Access:** Hamburger menu → "Configurações"
- **Fields:** Title ("Título") and Description ("Descrição")
- **Default:** "Sem título" (Untitled)
- **Implementation:** DOM manipulation of form fields
### ✅ Step 3: Save Composition
- **Method 1:** "Salvar" button in configuration panel
- **Method 2:** Direct "Salvar composição" from hamburger menu
- **Result:** URL encoding `/composer/H4sIAAAAA...` (compressed state)
- **Implementation:** URL state manipulation, no backend calls
## Technical Architecture
### Network Analysis Results
- **API Calls:** None detected for composition lifecycle
- **Storage Method:** URL-based state encoding
- **Transport:** Client-side DOM operations only
- **Authentication:** Not required for basic operations
### URL Pattern Discovery
```
Before: /embed/composer
After: /embed/composer/H4sIAAAAA... (base64/compressed data)
```
### Menu Structure
Hamburger menu contains:
- Salvar composição (Save composition)
- Configurações (Settings)
- Histórico de versões (Version history)
- Preview
## MCP Implementation Impact
### ✅ Advantages
- **No backend API complexity**
- **Faster, more reliable operations**
- **Portable compositions via URL**
- **Easier testing and debugging**
### ⚠️ Considerations
- **URL encoding/decoding required**
- **Browser automation needed for DOM manipulation**
- **Widget complexity remains (use mcp-interface-structure.ts)**
## Recommendations
1. **Implement composition lifecycle** using documented 3-step process
2. **Use browser automation** for DOM interactions
3. **Leverage existing widget analysis** from mcp-interface-structure.ts
4. **Focus on URL state management** for persistence
## Status Update
- ✅ **Composition Management:** Fully documented and viable
- ✅ **MCP Integration:** Ready for implementation
- ✅ **Technical Approach:** Browser automation confirmed
- ⏭️ **Next Phase:** Integrate findings with existing widget interface structure
