Why

AutoGPT currently treats every manually entered MCP credential as a Bearer token. Some MCP servers, including Langfuse, require HTTP Basic authentication instead, so users can paste the documented credential but AutoGPT sends the wrong Authorization header.

What

  • Support both Bearer and Basic authorization values in the shared MCP HTTP client.
  • Keep bare tokens backward-compatible: an unprefixed value is still sent as Bearer authentication.
  • Accept provider documentation in any of these forms:
    • a bare token
    • Bearer <token>
    • Basic <token>
    • Authorization: Basic <token> / Authorization: Bearer <token>
  • Reject blank values, unsupported complete Authorization headers, and control characters/header injection.
  • Keep the existing /mcp/token request shape and generated frontend client operation unchanged.
  • Add a clear Bearer/Basic selector and scheme-specific guidance to each existing MCP connection UI without combining or redesigning the three surfaces.
  • Persist manually entered credentials from the MCP block dialog and attach the returned credential ID to the new block, so discovery and later graph execution use the same credential.

Backward compatibility

  • Existing OAuth credentials continue to be sent as Bearer tokens.
  • Existing manually stored bare tokens continue to be sent as Bearer tokens.
  • Existing callers can keep sending { server_url, token } to the same endpoint.
  • No database migration or new required configuration is introduced.

Validation

  • Added backend tests for normalization, Basic header construction, legacy Bearer behavior, credential persistence, unsupported schemes, and header-injection rejection.
  • Added frontend unit tests for explicit-scheme detection, no Base64 guessing, Basic prefixing, and Bearer compatibility.
  • Python compilation and TypeScript parser checks pass for all changed files.
  • A separate critic pass verified backward compatibility, all three UI surfaces, graph credential persistence, and the security boundary before this draft PR was opened.

Agents and large language models used

  • Claude Code with Claude Fable 5.1 (commits from 27d39cf onward: review-round fixes, single-normalization contract, scope trim)
  • Earlier commits by the original author were agent-assisted (the github-actions[bot] review-helper commits); model details unknown

Checklist

  • Based on latest dev
  • Existing Bearer behavior preserved
  • Basic authentication supported end to end
  • Three existing GUIs remain separate
  • Focused regression tests added
  • Full CI green

Update: merged dev + addressed the review at f027a75

Merged latest dev (1 conflict: McpConnectPanel.tsxdev changed onSuccess to hand back a CredentialsMetaResponse while this branch added the scheme selector and explicit status checks; resolved by keeping both).

Three fixes on top of the merge:

  • Manual MCP credentials are stored through the credentials provider. The builder binds the new node to the ID returned by /mcp/token but resolves that ID against CredentialsProvidersContext, which the direct endpoint call never updated — so a first-run manual connect rendered "MCP: … was removed. Choose a connection to keep this agent running." on the node it had just configured, until a page reload. Adds mcpStoreToken to the provider, next to mcpOAuthCallback, which already upserts the same way. The direct-endpoint path stays as a fallback for callers rendered outside the provider.
  • A stored credential is never re-parsed. The root cause of the scheme-flipping bug was normalization running at both the persistence and the transport boundary: the scheme word of the canonical form became the first word of a "bare" credential on the second pass. normalize_mcp_authorization now runs exactly once, where a human-supplied value enters the system; stored credentials go through mcp_authorization_header, which reads the scheme from metadata and never inspects the secret. A scheme word takes the whole remainder after it — value.split(None, 1) on the backend, the same split in mcp-auth.ts — so Bearer orgid api-key means what the user meant by it. backend/blocks/mcp/mcp_auth_cases.json is the shared accepted/rejected table, asserted by both suites. The UI rejects a Basic credential containing : or whitespace up front, and the backend rejects it again for direct API callers.
  • The copilot setup card and the integrations connect panel probe the server before storing. A 2xx from /mcp/token only says the row was written, so both surfaces reported "Connected" for a credential the server rejects — reproduced against Langfuse with card=Connected, DB=status=revoked. Both now discover first, matching what the builder dialog already did.

Verified: pnpm vitest run → 6108 passed (571 files); pnpm types, pnpm lint, pnpm format clean; ruff check/ruff format clean on the changed backend files. Backend pytest was not run locally (the docker test stack collides with a pre-existing dev-stack container in this environment) — relying on CI for it.

Not addressed here, deliberately: the DELETE on a manually stored MCP credential returning 400 (missing 'mcp_token_url' metadata) is a pre-existing bug on the generic revoke path that already affects manual Bearer credentials and needs its own fix; the credential picker labelling a manual Basic credential "(OAuth)" is an artifact of storing manual credentials as OAuth2Credentials, which #13683 changes; the duplicated POST per submit is React StrictMode in the dev container and the endpoint is idempotent.


Update: scope trimmed at 4551dc1

The PR had grown to ~4,000 added lines over four bot review rounds, most of it not Basic auth. This commit removes 747 lines and adds 215:

  • Session close on every MCP path is out. On dev, MCPClient.close() was only ever called on the copilot probe path; the missing close on the block, discovery and copilot tool paths predates this PR and has nothing to do with auth schemes. Reverting it also removes the two new Should Fix items about its timeout and its tests. It should come back as its own small PR, ideally as an async context manager on MCPClient.
  • credentials_optional is untouched again. The dev line in Block.tsx is restored and the test that only guarded its removal is gone. Last round established that it has no execution effect either way.
  • Narrative comments removed across backend and frontend, per AGENTS.md. The remaining comments state invariants, not history.
  • Error-extraction helpers are shared in lib/mcp-errors.ts instead of duplicated between the builder dialog and the integrations panel.
  • Inline backend normalization cases folded into mcp_auth_cases.json, so one table drives both suites and the duplicated frontend cases are gone.

Also in this commit: the builder dialog uses the same scheme-specific placeholder and normalizeMcpUrl as the other surfaces, and the integrations panel compares server identity by origin so editing the path no longer discards a typed credential.

Walkthrough

MCP authentication now supports Basic and Bearer credentials across backend normalization, storage, MCP requests, discovery, and frontend setup flows. Manual authentication detects schemes, prepares credentials, and stores normalized authorization data before tool discovery.

Changes

MCP authentication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backend credential normalization and storage
autogpt_platform/backend/backend/api/features/mcp/routes.py, autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/mcp/client.py, autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/mcp/test_auth_schemes.py
The backend validates MCP credentials, stores normalized values and scheme metadata, and uses normalized authorization headers for MCP requests.
Frontend credential preparation helpers
autogpt_platform/frontend/src/lib/mcp-auth.ts, autogpt_platform/frontend/src/lib/mcp-auth.test.ts
Frontend helpers detect authentication schemes and add the Basic prefix when required. Tests cover bare, prefixed, and complete credentials.
Tool dialog credential connection flow
autogpt_platform/frontend/src/app/(platform)/build/components/MCPToolDialog.tsx, autogpt_platform/frontend/src/app/(platform)/build/components/__tests__/MCPToolDialog.test.tsx
The tool dialog supports manual Basic/Bearer authentication, validates credentials before storage, binds credentials to the server URL, handles structured API errors, and resets stale authentication state.
Credential setup panel integration
autogpt_platform/frontend/src/app/(platform)/copilot/components/ChainActionCard/McpConnectorRow.tsx, autogpt_platform/frontend/src/app/(platform)/copilot/tools/RunMCPTool/components/MCPSetupCard/MCPSetupCard.tsx, autogpt_platform/frontend/src/components/contextual/IntegrationsPanel/components/ConnectServiceDialog/components/DetailView/McpConnectPanel.tsx
Setup panels provide scheme selection, scheme detection, scheme-specific guidance, normalized credential submission, server reset behavior, and response error handling.
MCP API documentation
autogpt_platform/frontend/src/app/api/openapi.json
OpenAPI descriptions identify MCP values as manual Basic or Bearer credentials.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 152be

The PR adds Basic/Bearer authentication and credential persistence, but current behavior can still mishandle unsupported or blank credentials, attach credentials to the wrong MCP server, or use stale setup data. This could cause failed or unauthenticated MCP requests or misapplied credentials, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

Poem

A rabbit checks each credential with care,
Basic and Bearer now travel there.
Headers are normalized before tools appear,
Server changes clear stale state.
Discovery hops through the MCP trail.

Replace any in the new error paths.

Use unknown for each caught error. Narrow status, message, and detail with a typed helper before use. This prevents unchecked error-shape access.

As per coding guidelines, autogpt_platform/**/*.{ts,tsx} must never use any; use unknown when no type is available.

Use top-level imports only — avoid local/inner imports except for lazy imports of heavy optional dependencies like openpyxl
Use absolute imports with from backend.module import ... for cross-package imports; single-dot relative imports are acceptable for sibling modules within the same package; avoid double-dot relative imports
Do not use duck typing — avoid hasattr/getattr/isinstance for type dispatch; use typed interfaces/unions/protocols instead
Use Pydantic models over dataclass/namedtuple/dict for structured data
Do not use linter suppressors — no # type: ignore, # noqa, # pyright: ignore; fix the type/code instead
Prefer list comprehensions over manual loop-and-append patterns
Use early return with guard clauses first to avoid deep nesting
Use %s for deferred interpolation in debug log statements for efficiency; use f-strings elsewhere for readability (e.g., logger.debug("Processing %s items", count) vs logger.info(f"Processing {count} items"))
Sanitize error paths by using os.path.basename() in error messages to avoid leaking directory structure
Be aware of TOCTOU (Time-Of-Check-Time-Of-Use) issues — avoid check-then-act patterns for file access and credit charging
Use transaction=True for Redis pipelines to ensure atomicity on multi-step operations
Use max(0, value) guards for computed values that should never be negative
Keep files under ~300 lines; if a file grows beyond this, split by responsibility (extract helpers, models, or a sub-module into a new file)
Keep functions under ~40 lines; extract named helpers when a function grows longer

Learning: In the frontend, the legacy Select component at `@/components/__legacy__/ui/select` is an intentional, codebase-wide visual-consistency pattern. During code reviews, do not flag or block PRs merely for continuing to use this legacy Select. If a migration to the newer design-system Select is desired, bundle it into a single dedicated cleanup/migration PR that updates all Select usages together (e.g., avoid piecemeal replacements).

Since the React namespace is made available by the project’s TS/Vite setup, an explicit `import React from 'react'` or `import type { ReactNode } ...` is not required; only treat it as missing if typechecking (e.g., `pnpm types`) would actually fail.

Learning: In AutoGPT's frontend (autogpt_platform/frontend), prefer importing the non-legacy ScrollArea component from `@/components/ui/scroll-area` over `@/components/__legacy__/ui/scroll-area` for new or migrated code. The non-legacy component is a drop-in superset: it preserves the legacy component’s props and additionally supports the optional `showScrollToTop` prop—so reviewers should flag new legacy imports unless there’s a specific, documented reason they can’t use the non-legacy version.

Learning: Prefer using generated OpenAPI types from '`@/app/api/__generated__/`' for payloads defined in openapi.json (e.g., MCPToolsDiscoveredResponse, MCPToolOutputResponse). Use inline TypeScript interfaces only for payloads that are SSE-stream-only and not exposed via OpenAPI. Apply this pattern to frontend tool components (e.g., RunMCPTool) and related areas where similar SSE/openapi-discrepancies occur; avoid re-implementing types when a generated type is available.

Learning: When gating React component logic on a React Query result (e.g., hooks like `useQuery` / `useGetV2GetCopilotUsage`), prefer destructuring and checking `isSuccess` (or aliasing it to a meaningful boolean like `isSuccess: hasUsage`) instead of relying on `!isLoading`. Reason: `isLoading` can be `false` in error/idle states where `data` may still be `undefined`, while `isSuccess` indicates the query completed successfully and `data` is populated.

Learning: In the Copilot platform UI code, follow the established Orval hook `onError` error-handling convention: first explicitly detect/handle `ApiError`, then read `error.response?.detail` (if present) as the primary message; if not available, fall back to `error.message`; and finally fall back to a generic string message. This convention should be used for generated Orval hooks even if the custom Orval mutator already maps details into `ApiError.message`, to keep consistency across hooks/components (e.g., `useCronSchedulerDialog.ts`, `useRunGraph.ts`, and rate-limit/reset flows).

Learning: In autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/, the Block base class execute() already wraps run() in a try/except to convert uncaught exceptions into BlockExecutionError/BlockUnknownError. Do not add per-block try/except in individual block run() methods, as this is not the established pattern (e.g., Gmail, Slack, Todoist blocks omit it). Only use explicit try/except within blocks that need to distinguish between success and error yield paths inside a generator (e.g., attachment blocks). This guidance applies to all Python files under autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/ and similar block implementations; avoid duplicating error handling in run() unless a block requires generator-based branching.

Learning: Cost billing via the cost(*costs) decorator is applied at input-evaluation time (before a block’s run() executes). Therefore, mutating input_data inside run() will not change billing. When a block’s billing depends on a field plus URL/sniff-derived signals, treat the explicitly declared billing field (e.g., is_video) as the only billing source—set it correctly before run() (or in the code path that occurs before the decorator evaluates input_data). This should be checked for all blocks under autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/ so billing signals are not mistakenly assumed to update during run().

Learning: In autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/ (and related blocks under autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/), do not add try/except blocks around a block's run() method for standard error propagation. The block executor framework (backend/executor/manager.py) catches uncaught exceptions from run() and emits them on the 'error' output. Only add explicit try/except blocks when you need to control partial outputs in failure cases (e.g., certain outputs must not be yielded on error, as in attachment blocks). This is the standard pattern across the codebase; apply it broadly to blocks' run() implementations.

Learning: In any Python file under autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks, do not add a try/except around run() solely for standard error handling. The block framework’s _execute() in _base.py already catches unhandled exceptions and re-raises as BlockExecutionError or BlockUnknownError. If you yield ("error", message), _execute() raises BlockExecutionError immediately, so the error port will not propagate downstream. Reserve explicit try/except for scenarios where you must control partial output (e.g., attachment blocks that must skip yielding content_base64 on failure).

Learning: Do not wrap synchronous AgentMail SDK calls with asyncio.to_thread() in blocks under autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks (and across the codebase). The block executor runs node execution in dedicated threads via asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe (see manager.py around lines ~745-752 and ~1079). The existing pattern avoids using asyncio.to_thread for SDK calls inside async run() methods, so maintain that approach and do not add to_thread usage in these code paths.

Learning: Avoid using the word 'competitor' in public-facing identifiers and text. Use neutral naming for API paths, model names, function names, and UI text. Examples: rename 'CompetitorFormat' to 'SourcePlatform', 'convert_competitor_workflow' to 'convert_workflow', '/competitor-workflow' to '/workflow'. Apply this guideline to files under autogpt_platform/backend and autogpt_platform/frontend.

Learning: When using Python’s `unittest.mock.patch` in tests, choose the patch target based on how the imported name is resolved:
- If the code under test uses an **eager/module-level import** (e.g., `from foo.bar import baz` at module top), patch **the module where the name is looked up** (i.e., where it is used in the SUT), e.g. `patch("mymodule.baz")`.
- If the code under test uses a **lazy import** executed later (e.g., `from foo.bar import baz` inside a function/branch), patch **the source module** (e.g., `patch("foo.bar.baz")`) because the late `from ... import` will read the (potentially patched) name from the source module at call time.

For a concrete example: if `simulate_block` is imported inside an `if dry_run:` block in the SUT, then the correct test patch target is the source module path for `simulate_block` as it exists at call time (e.g., `patch("backend.executor.simulator.simulate_block")`), not the test file’s import location.

Do NOT require the dot-separated form in Anthropic contexts. Only OpenRouter routing variants should use the dot separator (e.g., `anthropic/claude-opus-4.6`); `claude-opus-4-6` should be treated as correct when passed to Anthropic, and flagged only if it’s used in the OpenRouter path where the dot form is expected.

Learning: When reviewing Python exception handlers, do not flag `isinstance(e, X)` checks as dead/unreachable if the caught exception `X` is a subclass of the exception type being handled. For example, if `X` (e.g., `VirusScanError`) inherits from `ValueError` (directly or via an intermediate class) and it can be raised within an `except ValueError:` block, then `isinstance(e, X)` inside that handler is reachable and should not be treated as dead code.

Learning: When reviewing Python code that uses Pydantic discriminated/tagged unions (e.g., `Annotated[Union[...], Field(discriminator="kind")]`), recognize that using `isinstance(x, SomeVariantInfo)` to narrow the union is an intentional and correct runtime guard and should also enable static type narrowing in tools like Pyright. Do not recommend replacing such `isinstance`-based narrowing with `cast(...)` when the check already proves the variant at runtime.

Learning: In this repository, isort may split imports from the same module into separate blocks when some imports are aliased (e.g., `from module import X as Y`) and others are not. Preserve the two-block layout when it results from isort (such as keeping `from openai.types.chat import ChatCompletion as OpenAIChatCompletion` separate from non-aliased imports from `openai.types.chat`). Do not treat that split as a style issue during review; merging them into a single block can fail CI with `Imports are incorrectly sorted and/or formatted`.

Build each message element with the appropriate concrete typed dict and then annotate the resulting list as `list[ChatCompletionMessageParam]` (e.g., `messages: list[ChatCompletionMessageParam] = [ChatCompletionSystemMessageParam(...), ...]`).

📋 Automated Review — PR #14075

PR #14075 — feat(platform): support Basic authentication for MCP servers
Author: Torantulino | Files: 36

🎯 Verdict: REQUEST_CHANGES

PR Description Quality

✅ Has Why + What + How — unusually thorough, with a manual-test matrix. Two claims in it do not match the code, though: the "both ends require a token68 single-run remainder" claim (backend still uses split(None, 1)) and the credentials_optional claim (see Should Fix #10). The - [ ] Full CI green box is still unticked while CI is in fact green.

What This PR Does

MCP servers previously only worked with Bearer tokens; servers like Langfuse that want HTTP Basic auth could not be connected at all. This PR adds a Bearer/Basic scheme selector to all four MCP connection surfaces, canonicalizes the pasted credential into a single "<Scheme> <credential>" string exactly once at the API boundary, records the chosen scheme in credential metadata so the transport never has to re-parse the secret, and probes the server with the credential before reporting "Connected". It also stops manual credentials from churning their ID on rotation (so saved graph nodes keep resolving) and closes MCP sessions after discovery and block execution.

The prior round's blocker — normalize_mcp_authorization running at both the persistence and transport boundaries, producing Bearer Bearer <cred> on the wire — is ✅ Addressed at df60664: MCPClient now takes the authorization value verbatim and mcp_authorization_header reads the scheme from metadata.

Specialist Findings

🛡️ Security ⚠️ — Header injection is genuinely blocked (C0/DEL rejection at client.py:42 before the value reaches _build_headers), SSRF is layered (validate_url_host + IP-pinning + _remove_insecure_headers stripping Authorization on cross-origin redirects), auth_token is now SecretStr, and managed credentials are correctly skipped in the supersede scan. No cross-user access or auth bypass found. The prior round's server-side-Basic-validation gap is ✅ Addressed.
🟠 Storing a manual credential deletes the user's OAuth row via creds_manager.delete (routes.py:539), which — contrary to the comment on routes.py:535 — only drops the DB row and never calls handler.revoke_tokens. The refresh token stays live at the provider with no way to revoke it. (routes.py:507, :539)

🏗️ Architecture ⚠️ — The core decision (normalize once at the boundary, read scheme from metadata) is sound and well documented. Two structural problems: the same RFC 7235 grammar is implemented twice across the language boundary and the two implementations disagree (mcp-auth.ts:4 vs client.py:58), and the validate → probe → store → upsert sequencing is written out longhand in three components with the provider-upsert fix landing in only one. Also a new feature-router → feature-router import (mcp/routes.py:15 pulling to_meta_response from integrations/router.py) with MCP metadata knowledge leaking into the integrations router.
🟠 The MCPClient close-invariant landed on three of four sites; run_mcp_tool.py:298 — the highest-traffic path — still leaks.

Performance ⚠️ — The normalization itself is O(n) over a short secret; no algorithmic concern. The real cost is I/O: MCPClient opens a fresh aiohttp.ClientSession + TLS handshake per request (util/request.py:509), so the added session DELETE takes tool execution from 3 → 4 connections (+33% setup) and is awaited before the result is returned. The connect probes fetch a full tool catalogue (~67KB on a Notion-class server, per this repo's own comment) purely to check a 401, then discard it.
🟠 close() builds Requests(raise_for_status=False) with no retry_max_attempts (client.py:370); I verified Requests.request only installs a stop condition when that argument is set (util/request.py:429), so a 429/5xx to the DELETE retries forever with up to 300s backoff. Downgraded from the specialist's "critical": the same unbounded behavior already applies to _send_notification (client.py:250) and discover_auth (client.py:280) on the same request paths pre-PR, so this is a latent module-wide property the PR extends rather than introduces. Still worth bounding here.

🧪 Testing ⚠️ — Substantial genuinely-new coverage: all three frontend surfaces have Basic-selection, stored-scheme-seeding, reject-before-store and no-network-call assertions; backend negative coverage (control chars, blank, unsupported scheme, managed credential, 503 fail-closed) is solid. The problem is two tests that are named for the exact regression they cannot observe.
🟠 test_normalize_mcp_authorization_preserves_bare_credential_with_spaces (test_auth_schemes.py:64) asserts on "orgid api-key", whose first word is not a scheme keyword — it passes identically with or without the rule it is named for. And both new finally: await client.close() blocks are stubbed ten times and asserted zero times; deleting them leaves the backend suite green.

📖 Quality ⚠️ — Good names and a clearly-stated invariant, undercut by duplication: getAPIResponseError is byte-identical across two files and getErrorMessage has opposite precedence in each (MCPToolDialog.tsx:80 prefers message, McpConnectPanel.tsx:300 prefers detail), so one backend 422 renders differently on two surfaces. normalizeMcpUrl exists three times. MCPToolDialog.tsx is 783 lines with no extraction; mcp_store_token is a 104-line function. Comments frequently narrate the review rather than the code (useMCPAuthScheme.ts:11 references an identifier named touched that does not exist at head).

📦 Product ⚠️ — Probe-before-store is real product thinking: "Connected" now means connected. But the builder dialog regresses the flow this PR exists to enable (see Blocker), the Basic hint is unreachable to screen readers in the copilot chain row, and the placeholder still says "Paste API token" while the hint says "paste the Base64 of user:password" — restating the exact mistake the hint exists to prevent.

📬 Discussion ✅/⚠️ — 17/17 inline threads resolved, 0 open, and every prior reviewer concern is either fixed or deferred with a stated rationale. Not mergeable for process reasons, though: CLA still unsigned, the sole human approval (@ntindle) was dismissed 15 commits ago, and the standing formal verdict is CHANGES_REQUESTED with the re-review at head still in flight. Note the review-integrity caveat: authorship transferred @Torantulino@kcze mid-review, and @kcze resolved all 17 threads — including ones he filed himself — with no independent verifier.
🟠 The #13683 storage-shape collision (APIKeyCredentials.api_key vs OAuth2Credentials.access_token) has been escalated twice with no maintainer answer; whichever PR merges second breaks manual MCP credentials.

🔎 QA ⚠️ — Partial. The specialist created a test user, obtained a backend token, and verified end-to-end at the wire level that a Basic credential goes out as a Basic header, plus forged a legacy pre-PR credential row (no mcp_auth_scheme) and confirmed it still goes out as Bearer — that is strong evidence for the headline behavior and for backward compatibility. Browser testing of the three UI surfaces did not run: the session aborted with an inference-route error before any screenshots were captured. The Blocker below is therefore code-traced, not visually confirmed.

🔴 Blockers

  1. The URL field's "don't discard work in progress" guard is a no-op, wiping the typed credential on every keystroke (frontend/src/app/(platform)/build/components/MCPToolDialog.tsx:477) — I read the handler at head to confirm. const serverChanged = serverUrl.trim() !== nextUrl.trim() is true for any non-whitespace edit, so the block it guards always runs: setManualToken(""), resetScheme(), setShowManualToken(false). The comment directly above claims the opposite ("Clearing on every keystroke meant fixing one character of the path threw away the typed credential"). Concrete path: builder → add MCP block → enter URL → discover → 401 → "enter an API credential manually" → paste the Basic credential → notice the URL needs a /mcp suffix → the first character typed clears the credential and collapses the panel, forcing another discover → 401 → OAuth-probe round trip. Product traced dev's handler as a bare setServerUrl(e.target.value), making this PR-introduced. One-line fix: compare normalized server identity (origin + path, as normalizeMcpUrl already does) rather than raw trimmed strings, or defer the reset to onBlur/connect. (Flagged by: product — 1, verified independently by lead)

🟠 Should Fix

  1. The two normalizers disagree, and the test named for the case can't see it (frontend/src/lib/mcp-auth.ts:4, backend/blocks/mcp/client.py:58, backend/blocks/mcp/test_auth_schemes.py:64) — TS requires a single \S+ remainder; Python uses split(None, 1). Pasting Bearer orgid api-key yields Bearer Bearer orgid api-key on the wire; a direct API caller sending bearer org key gets the first word of their secret eaten. Probe-before-store means this now fails loudly rather than silently, which is why it isn't a blocker — but the PR description claims both ends already agree. Add a shared accepted/rejected fixture table asserted by both suites. (Flagged by: architect, testing, quality — 3)
  2. Bound MCPClient.close() (backend/blocks/mcp/client.py:370) — pass retry_max_attempts=1 and wrap in asyncio.wait_for(..., timeout=5) so best-effort cleanup can never outlive the operation it cleans up after. Verified: no stop condition is installed without that argument (util/request.py:429). (Flagged by: performance — 1)
  3. Close the copilot client (backend/copilot/tools/run_mcp_tool.py:298) — the probe at :292 got a finally, the discovery/execution client did not, and it runs on every copilot tool call. Making MCPClient an async context manager would cover all four sites at once. (Flagged by: architect, performance — 2)
  4. OAuth refresh tokens are orphaned, and the deletion is unconfirmed (backend/api/features/mcp/routes.py:507, :539) — either route through the revocation path DELETE /credentials uses (integrations/router.py:1044), or leave the OAuth row alone; and correct the comment at :535, which asserts revocation that does not happen. A confirmation step matters here because destroying that row also breaks every saved graph node bound to its ID. (Flagged by: security, product — 2)
  5. Credential ranking can pin execution to a stale OAuth row (backend/blocks/mcp/helpers.py:176) — ranking by access_token_expires_at or 0 means a manual credential (always None) always loses to a surviving OAuth row. Since the supersede loop swallows delete failures to logger.debug (routes.py:540), one failed delete permanently pins the user to the old token while all three UIs report "Connected" from an explicit-credential probe. (Flagged by: security — 1)
  6. Assert the session-close fixes (backend/api/features/mcp/test_routes.py:79, backend/blocks/mcp/test_mcp.py:418) — instance.close is stubbed as an AsyncMock ten times and never asserted; the repo already uses mock_client.close.assert_awaited_once() at test_run_mcp_tool.py:724. Cover both the success and raising paths. (Flagged by: testing — 1)
  7. mcpStoreToken has no test of the real implementation (frontend/src/providers/agent-credentials/credentials-provider.tsx:206) — this is the fix for the "MCP: … was removed" bug, and deleting the upsertCredentials("mcp", credsMeta) call at :223 leaves the suite green. Author-admitted open ("(a) is still not covered"). (Flagged by: testing, discussion — 2)
  8. McpConnectorRow skips validateMCPAuthCredential (frontend/src/app/(platform)/copilot/components/ChainActionCard/McpConnectorRow.tsx:44) — the other three surfaces call it. This surface relies on MCPSetupCard re-deriving the scheme from the prepared string, which is the re-parse-the-secret pattern this PR exists to eliminate. Severity dropped from last round (the server-side guard now catches the unencoded user:password case), but the user gets a raw 422 instead of the message naming the Base64 step. (Flagged by: product, testing, architect — 3)
  9. Dangling aria-describedby (frontend/.../McpConnectorRow.tsx:106) — hintId is referenced by the input but no element carries it; the hint <p> at :100 needs id={hintId}. That hint is the only place the Base64 step is explained. (Flagged by: quality, product — 2)
  10. Reconcile the credentials_optional claim with the behavior (frontend/.../NewBlockMenu/Block.tsx:91) — the two specialists who looked at this disagree: architect reads executor/utils.py:494 as meaning already-saved MCP nodes keep getting skipped; product reads the block's default={} as making the field unconditionally optional, so removing the flag changes only the toggle's rendered state. Note that either way this is not a regression — existing nodes behave exactly as they did before. Please state which is true and fix the PR description or the schema accordingly. (Flagged by: architect, product — 2)
  11. Dark-mode contrast regressions (frontend/.../MCPToolDialog.tsx:502, :548) — the manual-credential button lost its dark:text-gray-400 variants and the error text went text-red-500text-red-700 with no dark variant, in a file that uses dark: extensively at :673-772. :548 is where the new Basic validation messages render. (Flagged by: product — 1)
  12. Stale closures defeat Basic seeding (frontend/.../MCPToolDialog.tsx:178, :201) — reset and applyDiscoveredTools are useCallback(…, []) but call resetScheme, capturing the first render's copy where serverUrl was "". exhaustive-deps is off repo-wide so lint won't catch it. (Flagged by: quality — 1)
  13. Strip before scanning for control characters (backend/blocks/mcp/client.py:42) — the scan runs on the raw value, .strip() happens at :45, so a token copied with a trailing newline is now rejected as "must be a single line" where it previously worked. (Flagged by: security — 1)
  14. Get a maintainer decision on the #13683 storage collision (backend/api/features/mcp/routes.py:524) — ~130 conflicting lines in this file alone; whichever merges second breaks manual MCP credentials. Also unmentioned: the author's own sibling PRs #14300/#14302/#14303 overlap this one. (Flagged by: discussion — 1)

🟡 Nice to Have

  1. Extract useMcpManualConnect(serverUrl) — the validate → probe → store → upsert sequence is triplicated; a shared hook would also carry the provider-upsert fix to the two surfaces missing it. Real refactor, reasonable to defer. (architect, quality)
  2. Add a probe_only flag to DiscoverToolsRequest — credential validation currently downloads and discards the whole tool catalogue. (performance)
  3. Consolidate lib/api-error.ts and move normalizeMcpUrl into lib/mcp-auth.ts; split MCPToolDialog.tsx (783 lines) and mcp_store_token (104 lines). (quality, architect)
  4. Rebuild MCPAuthSchemeField on atoms/Select — it currently ships four visually distinct controls via four selectClassName strings, against its own "one implementation rather than four" docstring. (product, quality)
  5. Move normalize_mcp_authorization next to mcp_authorization_header (a blocks/mcp/auth.py), have it return (scheme, credential) so routes.py:502 stops re-splitting the string it just built, and relocate _is_mcp_credential out of the integrations router. (quality, architect)
  6. asyncio.gather the supersede deletes (routes.py:537) — each takes a Redis lock plus a whole-blob rewrite, serially, on the response path. (performance)

🔵 Nits

  1. Comments narrate the review, not the codeuseMCPAuthScheme.ts:11 (references a touched identifier that doesn't exist at head), helpers.py:66, routes.py:140, run_mcp_tool.py:219, and several test docstrings ("Deleting the clearing left every assertion green").
  2. Scheme-aware placeholder (McpConnectorRow.tsx:108, MCPSetupCard.tsx:469, McpConnectPanel.tsx:240) — "Paste API token" under a Basic hint.
  3. manual_credentials[-1] is called "the newest" (routes.py:508) but get_creds_by_provider guarantees no ordering — sort or reword.
  4. ("basic", "bearer") re-listed (integrations/router.py:279) next to the Literal at :236.
  5. No max_length on credential fields (routes.py:55, :424) — the control-char scan runs over an unbounded string.
  6. Dead if client is None branch (run_mcp_tool.py:253) with six lines of comment defending an unreachable state, now contradicted by the comment added at :219.

Human Review Needed

YES — Required because at least one specialist reported a high or critical finding.

Risk Assessment

Merge risk: MEDIUM | Rollback: MODERATE — a plain revert leaves credential rows already written with mcp_auth_scheme metadata and a "Basic <cred>" value in access_token, which the reverted code would re-send as Bearer Basic <cred>. Any rollback needs a cleanup pass over manual MCP credential rows.

CI Status

GitHub CI (reported by the discussion specialist at head 7819fe5): 48/48 completed checks green — backend test 3.11/3.12/3.13, type-check, lint, integration_test, e2e, CodeQL, Snyk, codecov gates. Merge state BLOCKED on REVIEW_REQUIRED + unsigned CLA, not on checks.

Local harness: 4/5 passed — frontend lint, types, test:unit, build all green. cd autogpt_platform/backend && poetry run lint failed locally after 107s. GitHub CI ran the same lint job green on this head, so per policy I'm treating the local failure as sandbox environment skew and not as a finding; worth a glance if it reproduces on the author's machine.


UI Testing — Variant Results

✅ local: I'll start with the mandatory environment check. Token is empty — need to create the test user. Signup worked with a longer password. Getting a backend token now.

❌ hosted: I'll start with the mandatory environment setup and auth. Token came back empty. Running the sign-up fallback. Backend has the PR code. Now exercising /api/mcp/token normalization end-to-end.

Addresses the fourth automated review on #14075.

Blocker: the builder dialog's "only a real change of server identity discards
work in progress" guard compared trimmed URLs, so it fired on every keystroke
and cleared the typed credential — the exact flow the dialog exists to enable.
Compare server identity (origin) instead, via a shared `lib/mcp-url.ts` that
also replaces the two copies of `normalizeMcpUrl`.

Also:
- Reconcile the two implementations of the credential grammar. The TS side
  required a single token68 run after the scheme word while the backend used
  `split(None, 1)`, so `Bearer orgid api-key` was scheme-prefixed to one and
  bare to the other, and the frontend rewrote it to `Bearer Bearer orgid
  api-key`. `mcp_auth_cases.json` is now read by both suites.
- Strip before scanning for control characters, so a token copied with a
  trailing newline is no longer rejected as "must be a single line".
- Bound `MCPClient.close()` with `retry_max_attempts=1` and a 5s timeout;
  without a `stop` condition a 429/5xx retried forever.
- Close the copilot client on the discovery/execution path, the highest-traffic
  MCP path in the product.
- Stop deleting the user's OAuth row when a manual credential is stored:
  neither `creds_manager.delete` nor `delete_acquired` revokes, so it orphaned
  a live refresh token and broke saved graph nodes bound to that ID. Rank
  manual credentials above OAuth ones in `auto_lookup_mcp_credential` instead,
  and correct the comment that claimed revocation.
- Validate in `McpConnectorRow` before submitting, give its hint the id the
  input points at, and make the placeholder track the selected scheme.
- Stabilise the `useMCPAuthScheme` callbacks so memoized callers cannot pin the
  first render's stored scheme, defeating Basic seeding.
- Restore the dark-mode variants lost on two `MCPToolDialog` elements.
- Bound the credential fields at 8192 chars and share the scheme `Literal`.

Tests: regression coverage for the URL-edit blocker, the shared grammar table,
the trailing newline, both session-close paths, the credential ranking, the
connector-row validation and aria wiring, and — closing the round-three gap —
the real `mcpStoreToken` implementation rendered through `CredentialsProvider`.
Each was checked to fail without its fix.

Fourth review round addressed at 072d77a1d. Disposition below.

🔴 Blocker — fixed

URL guard was a no-op. Confirmed exactly as described: serverUrl.trim() !== nextUrl.trim() is true for any non-whitespace edit, so the block it guards always ran and the comment above it asserted the opposite of what it did. Now compares server identity — origin, via a new lib/mcp-url.ts that also absorbs the two copies of normalizeMcpUrl. Origin rather than origin+path deliberately: a credential is issued by a host, and comparing paths would still discard it on the keystroke that adds /mcp.

Regression test in MCPToolDialog.test.tsx types the suffix one character at a time and asserts the credential survives; it fails against the old comparison.

🟠 Should Fix

  1. Normalizers disagreed — fixed, and the fix went the other way from the test that pinned it. The TS \S+ rule was the wrong one: a user pasting Bearer orgid api-key means scheme + credential, and turning that into Bearer Bearer orgid api-key is absurd. TS now takes the whole remainder, matching the backend's split(None, 1). backend/blocks/mcp/mcp_auth_cases.json is the shared table, read by test_auth_schemes.py and by mcp-auth.test.ts (via a relative path — reading the backend's copy is the point). Every accepted case was verified against the real normalize_mcp_authorization. The frontend test that asserted the old rule is replaced; a multi-word Basic credential is still rejected, but by validateMCPAuthCredential, with the message that names the Base64 step.
  2. close() boundedretry_max_attempts=1 plus asyncio.wait_for(..., timeout=5). Your reading of util/request.py:429 is right: no stop condition is installed without that argument.
  3. Copilot client closedfinally: await client.close() on the discovery/execution path, with a test that fails without it. I did not convert MCPClient into an async context manager: that means re-indenting four call sites, and this is the third round where a refactor of mine introduced the next round's defect. Filed as follow-up rather than done here.
  4. OAuth rows are no longer deleted. You're right that neither creds_manager.delete nor delete_acquired calls handler.revoke_tokens — that only happens in DELETE /credentials. Rather than route through revocation, storing a manual credential now leaves the OAuth row alone entirely. Deleting it was destructive twice over: an orphaned live refresh token and every saved graph node bound to that ID. The comment claiming revocation is corrected, and the test that asserted the delete now asserts it does not happen, with the reasoning in its docstring.
  5. Ranking fixedauto_lookup_mcp_credential now ranks manual credentials above OAuth ones, then by expiry. This is what makes Improve web-crawling system #4 safe: the pasted credential is the one that gets sent even though the OAuth row survives. Test covers exactly the case you describe.
  6. Session-close assertedinstance.close.assert_awaited_once() on both the success and the raising discovery paths, plus a new test_call_mcp_tool_closes_the_session_even_when_the_call_raises.
  7. mcpStoreToken now has a real test. This was the item I deferred twice; you were right to keep raising it. mcpStoreToken.test.tsx renders CredentialsProvider with a minimal query-client wrapper (not test-utils, whose OnboardingProvider needs backend methods the file stubs) and asserts the stored credential lands in the provider map, and that a 422 publishes nothing. Deleting the upsertCredentials("mcp", credsMeta) call fails it — I checked.
  8. McpConnectorRow validates before calling onUseToken, with an inline role="alert" error.
  9. aria-describedby fixed — the hint <p> carries hintId; the error gets its own id and is appended when present. Test asserts the referenced element exists and holds the hint text.
  10. Product's reading is the correct one, verified empirically. _validate_node_input_credentials computes is_creds_optional or field_name not in required_fields, and MCPToolBlock.Input.get_required_fields() returns {'server_url'}credentials carries default={}, so it is never required. Removing the flag changes the toggle's rendered state only; execution is identical for new and existing nodes. Recorded as a comment on the assertion in Block.test.tsx, and the PR description is corrected.
  11. Dark-mode variants restored on both elements.
  12. Stale closures fixed at the sourceuseMCPAuthScheme now returns stable callbacks that read storedScheme through a ref, so a memoizing caller cannot pin the first render's value. Adding the callbacks to the dependency arrays alone would have made reset/applyDiscoveredTools unstable every render.
  13. Strip before scanning — a trailing newline is now accepted; an interior control character is still refused. Both directions asserted.
  14. feat(platform): support static API-key/bearer-token auth for MCP servers #13683 — still a maintainer decision, not one I can make unilaterally. Restating it plainly: APIKeyCredentials.api_key there vs OAuth2Credentials.access_token holding "<Scheme> <credential>" here, ~130 conflicting lines in mcp/routes.py, and whichever merges second breaks manual MCP credentials. Someone with authority over the credential model needs to pick a shape.

🔵 Nits

Fixed: 2 (placeholder tracks the scheme — the Bearer wording is unchanged so existing tests still match, and the Basic wording names the Base64 step), 3 (survivor chosen by an explicit sort key, wording corrected), 4 (shared MCPAuthScheme literal + get_args), 5 (max_length=8192 on both credential fields; openapi.json regenerated), 6 (dead client is None branch removed — you're right that it was equivalent to creds is not None).

Not fixed: 1. The touched reference in useMCPAuthScheme.ts is gone with the rewrite. The remaining ones (helpers.py, routes.py, the test docstrings) explain why the code is shaped as it is, which is the thing that keeps getting deleted and re-broken; blocks/stripe_link/spend_request_test.py:616 uses the same style. Happy to trim on request.

Nice to Have — deferred

1 (useMcpManualConnect), 3 (splitting MCPToolDialog/mcp_store_token), 4 (atoms/Select — Radix ignores fireEvent.change, which rewrites ~20 tests into pointer interactions), 5 (moving normalize_mcp_authorization), 6 (asyncio.gather on the supersede deletes — now at most a couple of manual duplicates, since OAuth rows are no longer in that list). 2 (probe_only) is a real optimisation and worth its own PR.

Verification

  • Backend: test_routes.py + test_auth_schemes.py + test_helpers.py → 107 passed; test_run_mcp_tool.py → 43 passed; the two new test_mcp.py cases pass. poetry run lint --skip-pyright clean, pyright clean on every touched module.
  • Frontend: full pnpm test:unit572 files, 6129 tests, all passing. pnpm types and pnpm lint clean.
  • openapi.json regenerated and prettier-formatted; pnpm generate:api produces no further diff.

On the local poetry run lint failure you saw: that's the pyright step running over the whole repo, and it fails on dev too. poetry run lint --skip-pyright — which is what the backend lint CI job runs — is green.

📋 Automated Review — PR #14075

PR #14075 — feat(platform): support Basic authentication for MCP servers
Author: Torantulino | Files: 39

🔴 Verdict: Changes needed — 6 items to fix before approval; not approved.

PR Description Quality

✅ Has Why + What + How — the motivating Langfuse Basic-auth case, the accepted credential grammar (bare / Bearer … / Basic … / full header), the single-normalization design, and the deliberate choice to keep the three connection GUIs separate are all documented.

What This PR Does

Previously, manual MCP server credentials could only be sent as Bearer tokens. This PR lets a user paste a Basic (or full Authorization:) credential and adds a Bearer/Basic selector with scheme-specific guidance to all four MCP connection surfaces (builder dialog, setup card, integrations panel, copilot connector row). Credentials are normalized exactly once at the input boundary (normalize_mcp_authorization), stored verbatim, and read back via mcp_authorization_header without re-parsing — closing the double-prefix and header-injection classes of bug. A discover-before-store probe replaces the removed validation gate so a revoked/invalid credential no longer shows a false "Connected", and sessions are now closed in finally blocks to stop leaking remote session rows.

Specialist Findings

🛡️ Security ✅ — Attacked the normalization, rotation, and SSRF surfaces and found no reachable vulnerability. CRLF/C0/DEL injection is rejected, SSRF host validation is preserved on both endpoints, credentials never appear in responses or logs, and the OAuth row is deliberately not clobbered on rotation. Only a 🔵 defense-in-depth gap (C1 controls / U+2028/U+2029 not rejected — not exploitable; httpx re-validates at send).

🏗️ Architecture ✅ — Clean single-normalization boundary, shared cross-language contract fixture (mcp_auth_cases.json), consistent session lifecycle. 🟠 is_manual_mcp_credential is field-inspection type dispatch on a shared OAuth2Credentials type (helpers.py:40) — acknowledged debt tracked to #13683. Minor placement/DRY/comment-durability nits otherwise.

Performance ✅/⚠️ — No algorithmic regressions; the per-char scan and RMW are O(n) and bounded. 🟠 The best-effort await client.close() is awaited inline on the response path (run_mcp_tool.py:353, block.py:181), adding up to 5s (_CLOSE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS) of tail latency to an already-computed result on the highest-traffic MCP path.

🧪 Testing ✅/⚠️ — Exceptionally thorough and mutation-resistant: positive guards (test_store_token_clears_stale_expiry_on_rotation, test_expiring_credential_is_refreshed) and the shared FE/BE table close the gaps flagged last round. ⚠️ The one real hole is MCPClient.close() bounding logic (asyncio.wait_for + retry_max_attempts=1) — tests only assert close was awaited, never that a hanging/erroring DELETE is bounded.

📖 Quality ⚠️ — Good names and docstrings, but the error-extraction trio (getErrorStatus/getErrorMessage/getAPIResponseError) is copy-pasted between MCPToolDialog.tsx:74 and McpConnectPanel.tsx:313, MCPAuthSchemeField uses a raw native <select> bypassing the design system, and mcp_store_token is ~110 lines.

📦 Product ✅/⚠️ — Feature is complete and backward-compatible across all four surfaces; discover-before-store is a genuine UX win. Two cross-surface consistency papercuts: the builder dialog hardcodes a generic placeholder (losing the Basic "Base64 of user:password" cue) and the integrations panel wipes a typed token on any URL keystroke.

📬 Discussion ✅ — Head 072d77a is MERGEABLE, all required GitHub checks pass, and every human review thread (@kcze) is verified resolved by later commits; @ntindle's review is dismissed.

🔎 QA ⚠️ — Backend live QA passed comprehensively: full scheme matrix (S1–S5), all six injection/blank rejections, :/whitespace Basic rejection, empty-token 422, and credential rotation (same id, scheme flipped bearer→basic, exactly one row per server — no duplicate growth). Frontend browser QA of the selector could not be completed — the harness hit an inference-route error rendering page images, so the builder selector was not visually verified this round.

✅ Resolved Since Last Review

  • OAuth row no longer clobbered on rotation — security confirms the rotation logic refuses to rewrite/delete an OAuth row in place (was prior architect High).
  • Stale-expiry and refresh-gate test gaps closedtest_store_token_clears_stale_expiry_on_rotation and test_expiring_credential_is_refreshed now exist as positive guards (were prior testing Highs).
  • Credential persisted through the provider so the builder node binds to the returned ID (was prior ui-reviewer "was removed" High).
  • Basic :/whitespace rejected pre-flight with actionable copy (mitigates the prior product Base64 / discussion validation-gate concern).

🟠 Should Fix

  1. Untested close() bounding logic (autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/mcp/client.py:365) — the entire justification for the change (timeout + retry_max_attempts=1) has zero coverage; all tests mock close. Drive the real impl with a hanging/429 DELETE and assert it is bounded and swallowed. (Flagged by: testing)
  2. Inline session close adds up to 5s tail latency on the hottest path (autogpt_platform/backend/backend/copilot/tools/run_mcp_tool.py:353, also blocks/mcp/block.py:181) — dispatch the already best-effort close() fire-and-forget, or drop the timeout to 1–2s. (Flagged by: performance)
  3. Error-extraction helpers copy-pasted across surfaces (autogpt_platform/frontend/src/app/(platform)/build/components/MCPToolDialog.tsx:74 and .../McpConnectPanel.tsx:313) — getErrorStatus/getAPIResponseError are byte-identical; extract one shared helper. (Flagged by: quality)
  4. MCPAuthSchemeField uses a raw native <select> (autogpt_platform/frontend/src/components/contextual/MCPAuthSchemeField/MCPAuthSchemeField.tsx:48) — bypasses the design system and pushes styling onto every caller via className props, reintroducing the drift the shared field was meant to end. Use the design-system Select. (Flagged by: quality)
  5. Builder dialog drops the scheme-specific placeholder (autogpt_platform/frontend/src/app/(platform)/build/components/MCPToolDialog.tsx:532) — hardcodes a generic string while the other three surfaces use mcpAuthTokenPlaceholder(scheme); the primary place agents are wired loses the Base64 cue. (Flagged by: product, quality — 2 specialists)
  6. Builder re-implements normalizeMcpUrl inline (autogpt_platform/frontend/src/app/(platform)/build/components/MCPToolDialog.tsx:140) — .trim().replace(/\/+$/,"") risks divergence from the backend URL-matching mirror the siblings use. (Flagged by: architect, quality, product — 3 specialists)

🟡 Nice to Have

  1. is_manual_mcp_credential field-inspection type dispatch (autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/mcp/helpers.py:40) — acknowledged debt; link #13683 in a comment and prefer a typed discriminator long-term. (architect)
  2. _MAX_CREDENTIAL_LENGTH (8192) boundary untested on /token and /discover-tools (autogpt_platform/backend/backend/api/features/mcp/routes.py:52). (testing)
  3. useMCPAuthScheme state machine has no dedicated unit test (autogpt_platform/frontend/src/components/contextual/MCPAuthSchemeField/useMCPAuthScheme.ts:1). (testing)
  4. Integrations panel wipes a typed token on any URL edit (autogpt_platform/frontend/src/components/contextual/IntegrationsPanel/components/ConnectServiceDialog/components/DetailView/McpConnectPanel.tsx:198) — compare mcpServerIdentity instead of trimmed-string equality, matching the builder dialog's fix. (product)
  5. mcp_store_token is ~110 lines (autogpt_platform/backend/backend/api/features/mcp/routes.py:450) — extract _find_manual_mcp_credentials / _rotate_or_create_manual_credential. (quality)
  6. Stored-scheme resolver repeated 3× (.../McpConnectPanel.tsx:69) — extract storedSchemeForServer(credentials, url). (quality)

🔵 Nits

  1. Control-char scan misses C1 / Unicode line separators (autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/mcp/client.py:53) — not exploitable (transport re-validates); tighten to Unicode Cc/Zl/Zp for completeness. (security)
  2. normalize_mcp_authorization sits in the parse-free transport module (autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/mcp/client.py:26) — move next to mcp_authorization_header in helpers.py. (architect)
  3. mcpStoreToken throws raw unlike sibling callbacks that wrap in onFailToast (autogpt_platform/frontend/src/providers/agent-credentials/credentials-provider.tsx:206) — add a comment noting the deliberate deviation. (architect)
  4. DiscoverToolsRequest.auth_token min_length=1 turns a previously-tolerated empty string into a 422 for non-frontend callers (autogpt_platform/backend/backend/api/features/mcp/routes.py:50). (architect)
  5. Change-relative comments at run_mcp_tool.py:238, :230, and MCPToolDialog.tsx:135 narrate the diff rather than the standing behavior — rewrite to durable facts or delete. (architect)

Human Review Needed

YES — Required by the review lead's security-boundary assessment.

Risk Assessment

Merge risk: MEDIUM | Rollback: EASY (feature is additive and gated behind the manual-credential flow; revert restores Bearer-only behavior)

CI Status

GitHub CI: ✅ green — 49 checks passed on head 072d77a (authoritative).
Local harness: frontend lint/typecheck/unit tests/build all ✅; backend poetry run lint ❌ — this suite is green on GitHub CI for the same head, so the local failure is environment skew, not a finding (per rule 13).


UI Testing — Variant Results

❌ local: I'll start with the mandatory Bash call to authenticate and verify services. Token looks empty. Let me debug the auth. The test user doesn't exist. Let me sign up.

✅ hosted: MCP Basic auth support verified end-to-end: store/normalize/rotate correct, scheme surfaced in credentials list, all validation rejections (422/401) fire, Bearer/Basic UI selector + scheme guidance + client-side validation work, backward-compat bare→Bearer and credential-less public discovery intact.

  • low: HOSTED variant: a manually-entered Basic MCP credential is labelled "(OAuth)" in the credential picker because manual creds are stored as OAuth2Credentials. Observed indirectly via /api/integrations/credentials returning type=oauth2 for all MCP creds. Pre-existing and disclosed in the PR as deferred to #13683 — noted, not blocking.

Drop the session-close work (a pre-existing leak, out of scope for Basic
auth), the credentials_optional change and its test, and the narrative
comments accumulated across review rounds.  Share the error-extraction
helpers between the builder dialog and the integrations panel, fold the
inline backend normalization cases into the shared fixture, and give the
builder dialog the same scheme-specific placeholder and URL helpers as
the other surfaces.

Round 5 (4551dc1) — addressed, and the PR trimmed

This round cuts 747 lines and adds 215. The PR had reached ~4,000 added lines over four review rounds, and roughly half of that growth was bot-driven work outside the feature. Disposition of the six 🟠 Should Fix items:

# Item Outcome
1 Untested close() bounding logic Moot — session-close work removed from the PR. On dev, MCPClient.close() is only called on the copilot probe path. The missing close on the block, discovery and copilot tool paths is a pre-existing leak unrelated to auth schemes; it was added in round 2 to satisfy a finding and has generated follow-on findings every round since. It belongs in its own PR, ideally as an async context manager on MCPClient, and this commit's revert is the patch for that.
2 Inline close adds tail latency on the hot path Moot — same removal.
3 Error-extraction helpers copy-pasted Done. frontend/src/lib/mcp-errors.ts; both surfaces import it, the local copies are gone.
4 MCPAuthSchemeField uses a native <select> Declined, with reason. atoms/Select is a Radix portal select built on __legacy__/ui/select. Switching changes the interaction model in every test that drives the selector across four suites, and adds lines to a PR being cut back. Two of the four surfaces already render a raw <input> beside the field, so a native <select> styled to match is the consistent choice within each surface. Happy to make the swap as a follow-up if a maintainer wants it.
5 Builder dialog missing the scheme-specific placeholder Done. mcpAuthTokenPlaceholder(manualAuthScheme).
6 Builder re-implements normalizeMcpUrl inline Done.

Also taken: 🟡 4 (the integrations panel now compares server identity by origin, matching the builder dialog) and 🔵 5 (change-relative comments removed everywhere, not just at the three lines named — AGENTS.md says to avoid comments unless the code is complex, and most of the ones here narrated review history).

Also removed as out of scope: the credentials_optional change in Block.tsx and the 103-line test that only guarded it. Last round established that it has no execution effect either way, so restoring the dev line is the smaller change.

Not taken: 🟡 1/2/3/5/6 and 🔵 1–4. Each would add code to a PR whose problem is size, and none affects correctness. 🟡 1 (is_manual_mcp_credential as a typed discriminator) is the #13683 decision, which is still open for a maintainer.

Verified locally: backend poetry run lint --skip-pyright and pyright clean; 87 + 42 + 42 MCP tests pass. Frontend pnpm types, pnpm lint clean; full vitest run 571 files / 6127 tests pass.

Conflicts, both resolved to keep #14075's Basic-auth support and this
branch's rejected-credential state:

- copilot/tools/run_mcp_tool.py: the surface_connect_card probe reuses
  dev's client, built with mcp_authorization_header(creds), and still
  records the CredentialRejection.
- MCPSetupCard/__tests__/MCPSetupCard.test.tsx: both sides' new tests.

Resolves conflicts with #14075 (Basic auth for MCP servers): keep the
`authorization` parameter name from dev while retaining `input_schema`
forwarding and client cleanup from this branch. Adapt the new
discover-tools test to the awaited `client.close()` and the MCPSetupCard
chain-callback test to the forwarded `iss` argument.

dev landed #14075 (Basic auth for MCP servers), which independently fixed the
same root cause from the MCP side: `is_manual_mcp_credential` now gates the
`refresh_if_needed` call so a pasted credential never enters the OAuth refresh
path. Conflicts resolved in favour of dev's approach, keeping this branch's
additions layered on top:

- helpers.py: dev's refresh gate; kept the note on why a failed refresh must
  yield None rather than a stale token.
- routes.py: dev's in-place credential rotation and Basic/Bearer
  normalization, with the HTTPS requirement and the bounded verification probe
  in front of it. The probe now sends the complete Authorization header dev
  stores, not a bare token.
- MCPSetupCard.tsx: dev's scheme selection and rewritten manual-token UI, with
  this branch's `isFetchedAfterMount`/`isError` guard and the "Verifying…"
  label. Dev's client-side pre-verification supersedes the UI half of the
  rejection-detail test; the backend 400 stays covered in test_routes.py.
- test_helpers.py: both test sets kept.

`_may_need_refresh` in creds_manager is retained. It is no longer load-bearing
for MCP now that dev gates the call, but it is provider-agnostic and still
removes a Redis round-trip for every non-expiring OAuth2 credential.

Test harness: dev made `_invoke_creds_changed_hook` async and it now publishes
over Redis, which hung the e2e harness; stubbed alongside the existing lock
stub. MCPClient's `auth_token` is now `authorization` and carries a complete
header, so assertions were updated.

Three groups of tests were characterising behaviour this branch does not
change, or duplicating a case that already exists:

- ``mcp_manual_token_e2e_test.py``: the token reaching the client, the connect
  card, 401 invalidation, per-user isolation. All four pass on unmodified
  ``dev`` — #14075 fixed the resolve-to-``None`` bug they were written for.
  ``test_scope_level_403_keeps_the_credential`` did discriminate, but
  ``test_run_mcp_tool.py``'s 401/403 parametrisation covers the same
  behaviour.
- ``test_helpers.py``: ``resolves_static_token_credential``,
  ``unmatched_server`` and ``store_fails`` characterise
  ``auto_lookup_mcp_credential`` branches this PR leaves alone.
- ``MCPSetupCard.test.tsx``: "keeps Connected across a background refetch"
  had setup identical to the test above it — ``makeSetupOutput(undefined,
  false)`` is ``makeSetupOutput()`` and ``fetchedAfterMount`` already
  defaults to ``true`` — and asserted a strict subset of its assertions. The
  mock never exposes ``isFetching``, so it could not have caught the
  regression its comment named.

Kept the two round trips in the e2e module. They are not the ones flagged:
both exercise ``normalize_mcp_url``, which this PR now changes, and a
storage-vs-lookup disagreement is invisible from either side alone — that is
the regression 310a389 fixes, and only a round trip catches it.

173 lines out, 13 in. 111 tests still pass across the touched suites.
