AI-Friendly Architecture

Clean code organization that works well with AI coding assistants. No magic - just good architecture that helps humans and AI alike.

  • Predictable file locations reduce searching
  • Convention over configuration - URLs map to controllers
  • Small, focused files - read only what you need
  • Explicit patterns over implicit magic

Honest note: This won't magically reduce token counts. It's simply clean architecture that's easier for anyone to navigate - human or AI.

// Predictable structure
/controls   - Controllers
/views      - Templates
/lib        - Core libraries
/lib/plugins - Pluggable modules
/conf       - Configuration

// URL → Controller mapping
/auth/google → Auth::google()
/member/profile → Member::profile()

MCP Gateway

One endpoint to rule them all. Tiknix acts as a gateway that aggregates multiple MCP servers into a single, authenticated endpoint for AI agents.

Why a Gateway?

AI assistants like Claude Code need to connect to MCP servers to use tools. Without a gateway, you'd need to configure each server separately, manage multiple API keys, and handle authentication for each one. Tiknix solves this.

  • Single Config - One endpoint, one API key for all your tools
  • Tool Namespacing - No collisions (shopify:get_products, github:list_repos)
  • Access Control - Restrict API keys to specific servers
  • Usage Analytics - Track every tool call
