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.

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?

Learning: Chat Agent already fetches user-supplied custom MCP URLs in-process. The agent egress custom MCP path adds another egress hop to the same class of user-supplied URL.
Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

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. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
The harness now lists custom MCP through mcp_client. CI's hakari check requires the generated closure map to include that edge. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
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
UserMcpToolsisPipedream | Native | Both.user_toolsetloads 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.WithNativeMcpstamps the stored access token in the egress proxy. The sandbox never receives it.EgressProvisioneradvertises enabled, credentialed native servers next to Pipedream slugs. ACP names slugify, or becomecustom-{id}on collision.MCP_CREDENTIALS_KEY_SECRET_NAMEis optional onagent_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
