To build a **model context protocol** for your Jekyll blog with 500 original posts, enabling others to reference and use your content effectively, you need a structured approach to provide context, metadata, and access guidelines. A model context protocol essentially defines how your content can be accessed, understood, and utilized by others (e.g., developers, AI systems, or researchers). Below is a step-by-step guide tailored to your Jekyll blog:
11+
12+

13+
14+
### 1. Understand the Purpose of the Model Context Protocol
15+
A model context protocol is a framework that provides structured metadata, access rules, and usage guidelines for your content. For your blog, this means:
16+
- **Context**: Metadata about your posts (e.g., topics, dates, categories, authors).
17+
- **Access**: How others can retrieve or query your content (e.g., via API, RSS, or direct links).
18+
- **Usage**: Licensing and rules for how others can use or reference your posts.
19+
20+
Your goal is to make your 500 posts discoverable, machine-readable, and usable while maintaining control over intellectual property.
21+
22+

23+
24+
### 2. Organize Your Jekyll Blog Content
25+
Since your blog is built on Jekyll, a static site generator, your posts are likely stored as Markdown files in the `_posts` directory. To create a protocol, ensure your content is well-organized and metadata-rich.
26+
27+
#### Steps:
28+
- **Standardize Post Metadata**: Ensure each post’s front matter (the YAML block at the top of each Markdown file) includes consistent fields. Example:
29+
```yaml
30+

34+
tags: [jekyll, metadata, api]
35+
author: Your Name
36+
summary: A guide to creating a model context protocol for a Jekyll blog.
37+
license: CC BY-SA 4.0
38+
---
39+
```
40+
Add fields like `summary`, `license`, and `keywords` to make posts more discoverable.
41+
42+
- **Categorize and Tag Posts**: Review your 500 posts and ensure they have relevant categories and tags. This helps users filter content by topic (e.g., tech, tutorials, personal).
43+
44+
- **Create an Index**: Generate a master index of all posts (e.g., a JSON or YAML file) that lists metadata for each post. Example:
45+
```json
46+
[
47+
{
48+
"title": "Post Title",
49+
"url": "/posts/post-title",
50+
"date": "2025-06-29",
51+
"categories": ["tech", "blogging"],
52+
"tags": ["jekyll", "protocol"],
53+
"summary": "A brief summary of the post."
54+
},
55+
...
56+
]
57+
```
58+
You can use a Jekyll plugin like `jekyll-data` or a custom script to generate this.
59+
60+
- **Clean URLs**: Ensure your blog uses permalinks (e.g., `/year/month/day/title/`) for consistent referencing.
61+
62+
---
63+
64+
### 3. Define the Context Protocol
65+
The protocol should describe how your content is structured, accessed, and used. Create a dedicated page or file (e.g., `context-protocol.md` or `/context-protocol/` on your blog) with the following sections:
66+
67+
#### Protocol Components:
68+
1. **Content Description**:
69+
- Describe your blog: “A Jekyll-based blog with 500 original posts covering topics like [list topics, e.g., tech, AI, tutorials].”
70+
- Highlight the types of content (e.g., articles, tutorials, opinion pieces).
71+
- Mention the total number of posts and their originality.
72+
73+
2. **Metadata Schema**:
74+
- Document the metadata fields available for each post (e.g., `title`, `date`, `categories`, `tags`, `summary`, `license`).
75+
- Example:
76+
```markdown
77+
### Metadata Schema
78+
- **title**: The title of the post (string).
79+
- **date**: Publication date (YYYY-MM-DD).
80+
- **categories**: List of categories (array of strings).
81+
- **tags**: List of keywords (array of strings).
82+
- **summary**: Short description of the post (string).
83+
- **license**: Usage license (e.g., CC BY-SA 4.0).
84+
```
85+
86+
3. **Access Methods**:
87+
- **Direct Access**: Provide the base URL of your blog (e.g., `https://yourblog.com`).
88+
- **RSS Feed**: Ensure your Jekyll blog generates an RSS feed (e.g., `/feed.xml`). Most Jekyll setups include this by default or via plugins like `jekyll-feed`.
89+
- **API (Optional)**: If you want to make your content programmatically accessible, host a JSON file of your post index or set up a simple API using a tool like GitHub Pages with a serverless function (e.g., Netlify Functions or Cloudflare Workers). Example:
90+
```markdown
91+
### API Endpoint
92+
- **URL**: `https://yourblog.com/api/posts.json`
93+
- **Format**: JSON
94+
- **Fields**: title, url, date, categories, tags, summary
95+
```
96+
97+
4. **Usage Guidelines**:
98+
- Specify the license for your content (e.g., Creative Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 for attribution and share-alike).
99+
- Example:
100+
```markdown
101+
### Usage Rules
102+
- Content is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
103+
- You may reference, quote, or repurpose content with proper attribution (link to the original post).
104+
- For commercial use, contact [your email].
105+
- Do not reproduce full posts without permission.
106+
```
107+
108+
5. **Searchability**:
109+
- Add a search feature to your blog using plugins like `jekyll-lunr-js-search` or external services like Algolia.
110+
- Provide a sitemap (`sitemap.xml`) for crawlers, which Jekyll can generate with the `jekyll-sitemap` plugin.
111+
112+
---
113+
114+
### 4. Implement Technical Enhancements
115+
To make your protocol practical for others to use, enhance your Jekyll blog with tools and features:
116+
117+
- **Static API**: Generate a JSON file of your posts’ metadata using a Jekyll build script or plugin. For example, add this to your `_config.yml`:
118+
```yaml
119+
collections:
120+
posts:
121+
output: true
122+
permalink: /:categories/:year/:month/:day/:title/
123+
```
124+
Then, create a script to output a `posts.json` file during the build process.
125+
126+
- **Host on GitHub Pages**: If your blog is hosted on GitHub Pages, ensure it’s publicly accessible. Push your `_posts` directory to a public repository so others can fork or parse it.
127+
128+
- **Add Schema.org Markup**: Enhance your posts with structured data (e.g., JSON-LD) to make them machine-readable by search engines and AI systems. Example:
129+
```html
130+
<script type="application/ld+json">
131+
{
132+
"@context": "https://schema.org",
133+
"@type": "BlogPosting",
134+
"headline": "Post Title",
135+
"datePublished": "2025-06-29",
136+
"author": {
137+
"@type": "Person",
138+
"name": "Your Name"
139+
},
140+
"keywords": "jekyll, protocol, blogging"
141+
}
142+
</script>
143+
```
144+
Use a Jekyll plugin like `jekyll-seo-tag` to automate this.
145+
146+
- **Version Control**: If you update posts, maintain a changelog or version history in your protocol to track changes.
147+
148+
---
149+
150+
### 5. Publish and Share the Protocol
151+
- **Host the Protocol**: Create a dedicated page on your blog (e.g., `https://yourblog.com/context-protocol/`) or a Markdown file in your repository (e.g., `context-protocol.md`).
152+
- **Promote It**: Share the protocol on social media, X, or developer communities (e.g., GitHub, DEV.to). Example post:
153+
```markdown
154+
I've published a model context protocol for my Jekyll blog with 500 original posts! 📝 Access metadata, RSS, or JSON API to reference my content. Licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. Check it out: [link]
155+
```
156+
- **Link in README**: If your blog’s source is on GitHub, add the protocol details to your repository’s README.
157+
158+
---
159+
160+
### 6. Maintain and Update
161+
- **Regular Updates**: As you add new posts, ensure they follow the same metadata schema and are included in your index or API.
162+
- **Feedback Loop**: Invite users to provide feedback on the protocol (e.g., via a contact form or GitHub issues).
163+
- **Monitor Usage**: Use analytics (e.g., Google Analytics or Matomo) to track how others are accessing your content.
164+
165+

167+
### Example Protocol Page
168+
Here’s a simplified example of what your protocol page might look like:

212+
213+
### Notes
214+
- **Licensing**: Choose a clear license (e.g., CC BY-SA 4.0) to avoid ambiguity. If you’re unsure, consult a legal expert.
215+
- **Scalability**: If your blog grows beyond 500 posts, ensure your index and API can handle larger datasets.
216+
- **Privacy**: Avoid exposing sensitive data in your metadata or public repository.
217+
218+
If you need help with specific Jekyll plugins, API setup, or licensing details, let me know, and I can dive deeper! For example, I can provide a script to generate the JSON index or recommend tools for hosting an API.
