feat: mcp oauth 2.1 flow for HTTP/SSE servers - #669
Merged
Conversation
When an HTTP/SSE MCP server (e.g. Mobbin) returns 401 with WWW-Authenticate: Bearer resource_metadata=..., the probe now detects the OAuth requirement and shows an amber 'Connect' button instead of a red 'disconnected' dot. Clicking Connect opens the system browser for the full OAuth 2.1 flow: Protected Resource Metadata discovery (RFC 9728) → OIDC discovery → dynamic client registration → PKCE S256 → authorization code exchange. The token is stored as a JSON file in the app data directory (avoids the Windows Credential Manager 2560-char limit on JWT access tokens). Subsequent probes load the stored token and inject it as a Bearer header — 'connect once, use forever'. Tokens are also injected into McpServer configs before session/new so authenticated servers work in agent chat sessions. Rust backend: - New mcp_oauth module: OAuth flow, token storage, refresh, expiry - ProbeStatus::AuthRequired variant + wwwAuthenticateHeader field - probe_http: pre-flight 401 check + fallback serve_client error detection - 3 Tauri commands: acp_mcp_oauth_start, _has_token, _disconnect - inject_oauth_tokens: injects Bearer header before session/new - Web parity: 4 HTTP routes (start, callback, status, disconnect) TypeScript frontend: - ProbeStatus 'authRequired' + wwwAuthenticateHeader on ProbeResult - startMcpOAuth/hasMcpOAuthToken/disconnectMcpOAuth API functions - Store actions: connectMcpOAuth, checkMcpOAuthStatus, disconnectMcpOAuth - McpServersSettings: amber dot, Connect/Disconnect button, OAuth message - McpBadge: amber dot + 'Needs auth' label in chat composer - Fixed missing fetchRegistrySnapshot in acpApi export (pre-existing)

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdded MCP OAuth 2.1 support across Rust services, desktop and web backends, MCP probing, renderer state, and server settings. The implementation supports PKCE authorization, token persistence and refresh, authentication detection, and Connect/Disconnect controls. ChangesMCP OAuth integration
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR adds OAuth-based access for authenticated MCP servers, but the current implementation still has unresolved risks around bearer-token storage, callback validation, network-route exposure, token expiry and refresh handling, and authenticated probing; these could expose credentials or prevent connections from completing, so the PR is not merge-ready until addressed.

Inline comments:
In `@src-tauri/src/acp/commands.rs`:
- Around line 630-658: Update the callback listener loop around
AuthorizationCallback::from_redirect_url to parse each accepted request and
continue waiting unless its path matches the expected callback path and its
query contains a code parameter; only then construct full_url, send the success
response, and break. Keep ignoring stray browser preconnect, favicon, and
malformed requests without dropping the listener.
In `@src-tauri/src/acp/manager.rs`:
- Around line 1782-1800: Handle token lookup errors separately from successful
and absent-token results at both OAuth boundaries: update the
McpServer::Http/McpServer::Sse handling in src-tauri/src/acp/manager.rs lines
1782-1800 to emit a redacted log::warn! failure event, and update the token
lookup in src-tauri/src/acp/mcp_probe.rs lines 401-404 to emit a redacted
tracing::warn! failure event. Preserve unauthenticated behavior for successful
lookups that return no token.
In `@src-tauri/src/acp/mcp_oauth.rs`:
- Around line 248-256: Update both OAuth completion sites: in
src-tauri/src/acp/mcp_oauth.rs lines 248-256, map the exchanged token response’s
refresh token and expires_in into StoredToken.refresh_token and expires_at
before store_token; in src-tauri/src/acp/commands.rs lines 703-712, populate
those same fields from the authorized manager or reuse run_full_flow. Ensure
both paths preserve refresh and expiry metadata instead of hardcoding None.
- Around line 89-99: Update store_token to create the token file with owner-only
permissions (0600) on Unix before writing its contents, while preserving the
existing serialization, directory creation, and error handling behavior.
- Around line 114-132: Update token_file_path to normalize server_url by
removing a trailing slash, then derive the filename using a stable fixed hash
algorithm instead of DefaultHasher. Preserve the existing data-directory
resolution and JSON path layout, ensuring equivalent URLs such as https://x/mcp
and https://x/mcp/ produce the same token file.
In `@src-tauri/src/acp/mcp_probe.rs`:
- Around line 406-410: Update check_oauth_required and its call site in the
stored_token.is_none() preflight to accept and forward the validated
server.headers. Add a probe test using a server that succeeds only when the
configured header is present, preserving OAuth detection for genuinely
unauthenticated requests.
In `@src-tauri/src/web/mcp_oauth_api.rs`:
- Around line 34-37: Update AppState initialization and route construction so
oauth_base_url contains the effective externally reachable origin, including the
listening port or tunnel host, before the callback route builds redirect_uri;
ensure the route’s “/oauth/callback” registration uses that propagated public
base URL rather than the hardcoded loopback default.
- Around line 30-38: Update oauth_start and its build_web_auth_url flow so
discovery uses only an authorized, configured MCP server URL rather than the
request’s arbitrary server_url. Resolve the requested server through the
existing authorization/configuration mechanism, or apply the established
outbound URL policy before AuthorizationManager::new(...).discover_metadata(),
rejecting unauthorized targets.
- Around line 40-46: Update the OAuth start and callback flow around
pending_oauth_flows and PendingOAuthFlow to store the generated state as each
flow’s csrf_token and correlate callbacks by query.state rather than selecting
an arbitrary HashMap entry. Reject unknown or mismatched states before token
exchange, then atomically remove the validated matching flow only after state
validation succeeds.
- Around line 30-50: Add redacted boundary and failure logging across the OAuth
flow, including oauth_start, the successful callback/completion path, disconnect
handling, and every failure branch. Use the desktop Rust log facility and
include only safe event context such as outcome and server identity; never log
tokens, authorization codes, callback query values, or credential-bearing URLs.
Preserve existing response and flow behavior.
In `@src-tauri/src/web/router.rs`:
- Around line 121-125: Guard the OAuth control routes in the router so
/mcp-servers/oauth/start, /mcp-servers/oauth/status, and
/mcp-servers/oauth/disconnect require a trusted or loopback caller when
allow_remote_writes is false, before invoking their handlers. Leave the
/oauth/callback route publicly reachable for authorization-server redirects.
In `@src/renderer/lib/acp-api.ts`:
- Around line 575-580: Update disconnectMcpOAuth to inspect the IpcResult
returned by webServerMcpOAuth.disconnect(serverUrl) and throw when it reports
success: false, while preserving the existing Tauri invoke path so failures
propagate there as before.
- Around line 552-562: Update startMcpOAuth in
src/renderer/lib/acp-api.ts:552-562 to open a blank window before awaiting the
web OAuth request, navigate it once the authorization URL is returned, and wait
for OAuth completion by polling the status endpoint until hasToken is true.
Update connectMcpOAuth in src/renderer/stores/acp-store.ts:4661-4670 to set
connected state, show success, and re-probe only after startMcpOAuth confirms
the token is stored; do not report success immediately after receiving the
authorization URL.
In `@src/renderer/stores/acp-store.ts`:
- Around line 4660-4706: Add durable logs through logFrontendError for the OAuth
boundaries in connectMcpOAuth and disconnectMcpOAuth: log OAuth start, confirmed
token availability after start, and completed disconnect. Include only the
server identity, and never log URLs, authorization codes, headers, tokens, or
other credentials; preserve the existing failure logs.

Restrict OAuth control endpoints to trusted callers.
When allow_remote_writes is false, guard /mcp-servers/oauth/start, /mcp-servers/oauth/status, and /mcp-servers/oauth/disconnect before their handlers run. Otherwise a non-loopback peer can start discovery for a caller-controlled URL, inspect token status, or delete stored tokens. Keep /oauth/callback reachable for the authorization server.

Summary
When an HTTP/SSE MCP server (e.g. Mobbin) returns
401withWWW-Authenticate: Bearer resource_metadata=..., the probe previously showed a red "disconnected" dot with no way to authenticate. This PR adds a full OAuth 2.1 flow so users can connect once and use authenticated MCP servers in agent chat sessions.Related Issue
No related issue exists — this was reported as a user-facing bug when adding the Mobbin MCP server.
