Outcome

MCP bridge configuration now supports supply-chain hardening through server identity pinning, transport trust enforcement, deny-by-default tool allowlisting, and OAuth requirements. The change also hardens MCP registration/recovery, policy rendering, migration output, and related test infrastructure while preserving compatibility with existing policy state.

Reason

MCP servers can introduce supply-chain, transport-trust, and tool-access risks when their identity, transport, or permitted tools are not explicitly constrained. The existing bridge also had gaps in CLI usage parity, test isolation, policy migration output, and recovery handling that could allow configuration drift or make security-sensitive behavior harder to validate.

Related issues

None.

Changes

  • Added MCP server identity pinning through --server-identity sha256:..., with verification performed during retry/recovery flows.
  • Added transport trust enforcement:
    • SSE is the preferred transport.
    • STDIO transport warns about reduced trust guarantees.
    • OAuth is blocked for STDIO.
  • Added deny-by-default MCP tool allowlisting through --allow-tool.
  • Added actions to update and clear MCP bridge tool allowlists.
  • Added --require-oauth, restricted to HTTPS + SSE transport.
  • Added mcp-bridge-supply-chain.ts to centralize supply-chain validation and enforcement.
  • Added mcp-bridge-policy-render.ts as the sole policy renderer, including:
    • allow.params.name tool restrictions.
    • endpoint.deny_rules.
    • Removal of broad tools/call access when allowlist mode is active.
  • Updated mcp-bridge-source.ts to combine live OpenShell policy state with durable registration state and support legacy and new-schema deny selectors.
  • Updated mcp-bridge-add-restart.ts to preserve new MCP settings through registration and recovery, including public-pin drift checks and allowlist/denylist mode switching.
  • Added MCP validation, contracts, migration, and output handling, including URL credential redaction.
  • Added cached owner-only Hermes manifest fixtures and shared private-source emulation to make tests independent of host filesystem permissions.
  • Moved affected temporary test roots from the checkout into $HOME to satisfy ancestor ownership checks.
  • Added CLI usage-parity regression coverage and corrected 12 mismatched flags between public-display-defaults.ts and policy-channel.ts.
  • Updated test:fast so the CLI is clean-built before the selected test suite.
  • Added test-file size budgets and reduced hermes-portable-lifecycle.test.ts to satisfy the size ratchet.
  • Added JSDoc coverage for diff-touched functions across the MCP bridge, policy, CLI parity, and Hermes test helpers.

The new supply-chain behavior is protected by dedicated MCP bridge regression coverage, while the CLI flag changes are protected by usage-parity.test.ts.

Verification

  • tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.src.json — passed with no TypeScript errors.
  • MCP bridge + usage-parity test suite — 759 tests passed.
  • Onboard experimental + late-binding + uninstall test suite — 945 tests passed.
  • growth-guardrails.test.ts — 7/7 tests passed.
  • Diff-touched JSDoc coverage — 97.96% (48/49), above the 80% threshold.
  • Test-file size budgets — satisfied.
  • MCP policy rendering, validation, migration, registration/recovery, and supply-chain paths — covered by the completed regression suites above.

Review notes

The branch includes fixes addressing prior CodeRabbit review feedback. The latest review state did not identify an outstanding functional issue in the reviewed changes, with remaining work focused on repository CI/workflow execution and maintainer approval rather than additional implementation changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • MCP bridge commands now support tool allowlists, transport selection, and server identity pins. Allow and deny rules can be set or cleared, with updates blocked when policy or public-pin checks detect conflicts.
    • MCP migration previews and output redact credentials and URL secrets.
    • CLI help and displayed command options now include additional supported flags.
  • Bug Fixes

    • MCP add recovery verifies the final sandbox state before confirming success and avoids repeating mutations when the outcome is unknown.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for MCP policy, trust checks, migration redaction, CLI help, and portable Hermes manifest protections.

📝 Walkthrough

The pull request adds MCP allowlist controls, transport and identity fields, policy and migration-display handling, and related validation. It also updates CLI usage checks and adjusts Hermes and filesystem test fixtures.

Changes: MCP bridge controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
MCP contracts and command validation
src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-contracts.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-validation.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-input-validation.test.ts
Add and update argument types include tool allowlists, transport, server identity, and supply-chain status. Parsing validates allow selectors, identity digests, and transport values, and rejects unsupported OAuth requirements.
Policy rendering and source inspection
src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-policy-render.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-policy.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-source.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-policy.test.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-source.test.ts
Policy rendering emits parameterized allow or deny rules for tool names. Source inspection reads allow and deny selectors and reports conflicts for invalid selectors.
Add intent, transport trust, and recovery
src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-add-restart.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-supply-chain.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-hermes-add-finality.test.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-supply-chain.test.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-input-targets.test.ts
Add and retry handling compares stored tool, transport, identity, and OAuth intent. It checks public-pin drift, applies transport trust checks, and reconstructs policy with the requested fields.
Tool-policy updates and command dispatch
src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-add-restart.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-update.test.ts
Update actions replace or clear allowlists and denylists. They reject conflicted policy and public-pin drift, then replace generated policy. CLI dispatch and help include the allowlist operations.
Migration output redaction
src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-output.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-migration.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-migrate-display.test.ts
Migration preview and JSON output use a copy of the migration plan with URL secrets redacted. Tests cover URLs with and without secrets.

CLI usage and test command

Layer / File(s) Summary
Usage text and hint parity
src/lib/cli/public-display-defaults.ts, src/lib/cli/usage-parity-support.ts, src/lib/cli/usage-parity.test.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/policy-channel.ts
Display hints and usage strings include additional options. New parity checks compare documented flags with command usage, including sandbox policy-channel usage.
Fast test build step
package.json
The test:fast script builds the CLI before compiling the catalog. The js-yaml and json5 declarations are reordered without version changes.

Portable-agent and filesystem test setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Private Hermes manifest test setup
src/lib/onboard/experimental/__test-helpers__/*, src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-*.test.ts, src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-lifecycle.test-fixture.ts, test/helpers/hermes-portable-*-fixture.ts, src/lib/actions/uninstall/hermes-portable-uninstall.test.ts
Hermes portable-agent test setup uses owner-only manifest copies and shared helpers. Tests check unsafe manifest permissions and clean up the temporary copies.
Filesystem and Git test fixtures
src/lib/actions/uninstall/run-plan-gateway-segregation-selected-port.test.ts, src/lib/actions/uninstall/run-plan-portable-runtime.test.ts, src/lib/adapters/podman/socket-authority.test.ts, src/lib/onboard/gateway-state-root-ownership.test.ts, src/lib/onboard/gateway/late-binding.test.ts, test/e2e/support/base-image-publication.test.ts
Several test roots now use the real home-directory path. The temporary Git repository test disables commit signing.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 204a3

As pushed, the new MCP supply-chain module has a syntax error, so the CLI build and the MCP add tests fail. One new retry test also expects a request to succeed even though OAuth requirements are always rejected. Smaller issues are unvalidated allowlist input from direct callers and an error message that names the wrong security mode. The build break must be fixed before this can merge.

Validate and normalize allowTools at the action boundary.

addMcpBridgeUnlocked normalizes denyTools through normalizeMcpDenyTools on Line 879. It passes options.allowTools to computeToolPolicy without validation or sorting. Lines 1003-1005 say the action boundary must protect direct API callers. Those callers can skip parseMcpAddArgs, which leads to two failures:

  • Invalid names reach live policy. A name that fails VALID_ALLOW_TOOL_RE is written into generated policy. The next inspectSourceBridgeState then marks the entry policyConflict, and every later update or retry is refused.
  • Unsorted lists break exact retries. requestedEntry.allowTools keeps the caller's order, but the renderer sorts. The reconstructed entry carries the sorted list, so sameMcpAddIntent reports a definition mismatch on an exact retry.

Remove requireOAuth: true from this retry test, or expect a rejection.

This test expects addMcpBridge to resolve when requireOAuth: true is passed. The production path rejects that input:

  1. addMcpBridgeUnlocked calls enforceTransportTrust(requestedEntry, options.requireOAuth ?? false) on Line 1046 of mcp-bridge-add-restart.ts.
  2. enforceTransportTrust throws "--require-oauth is not supported" whenever requireOAuth is true (mcp-bridge-supply-chain.ts Lines 59-65).

So the resolves.toBeDefined() assertion fails. The test also contradicts the PR contract that OAuth requirements are rejected. That contract is covered in mcp-bridge-input-validation.test.ts Lines 34-45 and mcp-bridge-supply-chain.test.ts Lines 10-21.

To test fail-open adoption of an identity pin, pass only serverIdentity.

Close enforceTransportTrust. The file does not parse.

The } on Line 90 closes if (transport === "stdio"), not the function. As a result, inferTransportFromUrl and computeToolPolicy are nested inside enforceTransportTrust. An export that is not at the top level is a syntax error, and Biome reports it on Lines 100-108 and 117-133. TypeScript rejects it too.

Every importer of this module then fails to build, including mcp-bridge-add-restart.ts. That means npm run build:cli fails, along with test, test:fast, and any test that imports the MCP add path.

The inner if (requireOAuth) on Lines 79-85 is also unreachable, because Lines 59-65 already throw for requireOAuth. Remove it as part of the same fix.

In enforceTransportTrust, remove the redundant inner requireOAuth check in the
stdio branch because the earlier check already rejects OAuth, then add the
missing closing brace for the transport === "stdio" block before closing the
function. Keep inferTransportFromUrl and computeToolPolicy at module scope.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the --clear-allow-tools error text. It names the wrong security mode.

Clearing the allowlist removes deny-by-default enforcement. clearMcpBridgeAllowToolsUnlocked renders policy with no tool selectors, and the renderer then allows unparameterized tools/call. The message says the bridge returns to "deny-by-default mode", which is the opposite. The help text in mcp-bridge.ts Line 423 is correct: "return to denylist mode". An operator who reads this error can underestimate the access that the command grants.

Proposed fix
       throw new McpBridgeError(
-        "Pass --clear-allow-tools alone to remove the allowlist and return to deny-by-default mode.",
+        "Pass --clear-allow-tools alone to remove the allowlist and return to denylist mode (all tools allowed unless denied).",
         2,
       );

604 - 612:
Update the `McpBridgeError` message in the `clearAllowTools` branch to
accurately state that clearing the allowlist returns to denylist mode, with
tools allowed unless denied. Keep the existing validation and control flow
unchanged.
