Description
It would be great if the backend could provide an MCP server that I can connect to in order to do the work that I now do via the frontend forms but from inside my agent chat window.
I recently started doing this for a project I work on and it is not a lot of new complexity in cases where the APIs and auth is already handled, like is the case for maproulette.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the backend APIs and authentication used by the frontend forms, then compare the linked tilda-geo example at app/src/server/mcp/buildMcpServer.ts. Define which admin operations the MCP server must expose and how agents will authenticate; done means those operations can be performed through an agent chat instead of the corresponding forms.
