Why

Chat Agent dropped every leftover native MCP server as soon as the user had one Pipedream connector. Coding Agent never saw those servers at all. Both stacks now load the same Connections rows the user already authorized.

Scope

  • UserMcpTools is Pipedream | Native | Both. user_toolset loads both stores. Pipedream still wins on a name collision.
  • McpDestination::Custom(CustomMcpId) and route /mcp-custom/{id}. The id is the first 16 lowercase hex chars of SHA-256 of the server URL.
  • WithNativeMcp stamps the stored access token in the egress proxy. The sandbox never receives it.
  • EgressProvisioner advertises enabled, credentialed native servers next to Pipedream slugs. ACP names slugify, or become custom-{id} on collision.
  • MCP_CREDENTIALS_KEY_SECRET_NAME is optional on agent_harness_service. Missing or unusable leaves custom MCP off. Pipedream still works. Local stack already sets the key.

Out of scope: token refresh in egress, public no-auth MCP, a live Coding Agent turn against Pipedream advertising.

Tradeoffs

v1 uses the stored access token as-is. A stale grant 401s until the user reconnects. Chat Agent already refreshes through PersistingCredentialStore.

A custom- prefix on /mcp/{slug} would collide with a real Pipedream app slug. The new route avoids that.

Blast Radius

Chat Agent (/app/chat/...) can search and call leftover MCP tools while Pipedream connectors stay connected. Coding Agent sessions (/app/agent/...) get extra MCP servers on the session. Harness boot stays up if the encryption key is absent.

Verification

SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p mcp_select -p agent_egress -p agent_harness (local MacroDB is missing agent_configs / harnesses; these tests do not query those tables).

  • mcp_select: 7 passed
  • agent_egress: 66 passed
  • agent_harness: 143 passed

SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p agent_harness_service passed.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for authenticated custom MCP servers alongside connected apps.
    • Custom MCP servers now appear in agent sessions with dedicated connection routes.
    • Agents can use custom and connected-app tools together, with consistent connector selection.
    • Custom MCP access uses stored authentication while keeping OAuth tokens out of the sandbox.
    • Disabled or unauthenticated custom servers are excluded from available tools.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the AI Chat guide to explain custom MCP server availability and routing.
  • Reliability

    • Added validation for custom server identifiers, secure upstream URLs, authentication, and tool selection.

Walkthrough

The change adds authenticated custom MCP server support. It defines URL-derived custom IDs, adds /mcp-custom/{id} routing, and resolves stored OAuth tokens into upstream calls. Egress provisioning advertises enabled native servers with collision-safe names. The service loads an optional encrypted credential store and composes native MCP resolution with existing egress layers. MCP selection now combines native and Pipedream toolsets, with Pipedream precedence on name collisions. Tests cover routing, credentials, provisioning, and tool selection.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to baa97

Some MCP configurations can expose duplicate tool definitions, duplicate server names, or servers that always fail when called. These correctness issues should be fixed before merge.

In `@crates/agent_egress/src/outbound/native_mcp.rs`:
- Around line 74-81: Update the native MCP egress connection boundary used by
WithNativeMcp::resolve and add_server to validate the resolved destination,
rejecting private, loopback, link-local, and reserved IP ranges after DNS
resolution. Perform this validation for every connection to prevent DNS
rebinding, while preserving HTTPS and existing redirect-disabled behavior.

In `@crates/agent_harness/src/outbound/egress.rs`:
- Line 120: Update the fallback-name allocation around the custom server naming
logic so custom-{id} is checked against taken names and, when occupied, receives
an incremented unique suffix before being inserted. Preserve unique names for
reserved and conflicting entries, and add a test covering a prior custom name
matching a later server’s fallback.
- Around line 99-100: Update the eligibility check in the outbound provisioning
flow to require credentials.token_response.is_some() alongside record.enabled,
matching WithNativeMcp::resolve before advertising a server. Add a provisioning
test covering StoredCredentials without a token response and verify that the row
is not advertised.

In `@crates/mcp_select/src/lib.rs`:
- Line 73: Update UserMcpTools::catalog() and request_schemas() to exclude
native MCP entries whose mangled names collide with Pipedream entries,
preserving Pipedream precedence and preventing duplicate metadata or provider
definitions. Reuse the existing name representation and filtering logic
consistently for both collections, and add a regression test covering
UserMcpTools::Both with a colliding name.

SSRF (CWE-918): Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Moderate

Restrict custom MCP upstream origins.

add_server accepts any URL, while WithNativeMcp::resolve only validates syntax and HTTPS. Reject private, loopback, link-local, and reserved destinations after DNS resolution at the egress connection boundary. Re-check on each connection to prevent DNS rebinding. The forwarder already disables redirects.

This is a new egress hop to a user-supplied MCP URL. Chat already fetches those URLs in-process. I am not adding DNS-rebinding checks in this CI pass. Cam, say if this PR should block on an allowlist.

@cameronapak, understood. The existing Chat path has the same trust boundary, but this PR adds that boundary to agent egress.

I will keep the finding open pending Cam’s allowlist decision. If this is deferred, would you like a follow-up GitHub issue for destination validation and DNS-rebinding protection?

Unknown custom destinations keep their own id. Catalog and ACP names
drop collisions instead of advertising a path egress will refuse.
Harness boot fails without the credentials key.

The harness now lists custom MCP through mcp_client. CI's hakari
check requires the generated closure map to include that edge.
