What

Adds an MCP Apps host so chat can render interactive ui:// HTML apps (SEP-1865 / ext-apps) via a sandboxed iframe, with UI BFF proxying to the agent. Also scopes auth rate limiting to auth routes only (was applying more broadly because of Fastify plugin encapsulation).

Fixes #124, #149

How

  • New McpAppHost + @mcp-ui/client AppRenderer, sandbox proxy (/sandbox_proxy.html), and CSP from resource _meta.ui (read, then paginated list fallback).
  • Chat mounts apps from streamed mcpApp payloads; View calls (tools/resources/open-link/download/message/context) go browser → UI BFF → agent (no MCP secrets in the browser).
  • Feature flag features.mcp_apps; sandbox is same-origin for now (separate origin documented as follow-up).
  • Auth: @fastify/rate-limit with global: false, applied only on login/refresh/callback routes.

Testing

  • Unit tests added/updated (McpAppHost, mcp-apps, CSP, sandbox/smoke, auth rate limit)
  • Ran locally (npm test / vitest for touched suites)
  • Manual verification (describe below if applicable)
    • Enable features.mcp_apps, connect a UI-capable MCP server, call a tool with _meta.ui.resourceUri, confirm iframe render + in-app tool/resource calls

Rollback

Walkthrough

This change adds MCP Apps support for rendering validated ui:// content in chat. It adds configuration, sandbox assets, CSP handling, MCP proxy routes, frontend hosting, chat-context forwarding, metadata storage, and scoped authentication rate limits.

Changes

MCP Apps support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration and sandbox security
README.md, config/ui/..., docs/deployment-patterns.md, env.template, src/server/utils/settings.ts, src/server/utils/mcp-apps-csp.ts, src/server/server.ts
MCP Apps are enabled by default. YAML and environment overrides are supported. CSP metadata is validated and applied to sandbox responses.
Server proxy and sandbox assets
package.json, src/server/router/client.router.ts, src/server/router/proxy.router.ts, src/server/static/...
The server serves feature-gated sandbox assets and proxies MCP resource, template, and tool operations to the agent. Tool messages preserve MCP metadata and artifacts.
Frontend MCP contracts and state
src/frontend/types/mcp-apps.ts, src/frontend/services/mcp-apps-api.ts, src/frontend/services/agent-rest.ts, src/frontend/redux/slices/chats.ts
The frontend parses and validates MCP App resources, resolves metadata, calls MCP proxy endpoints, and stores MCP metadata and artifacts on tool calls.
MCP App host and chat integration
src/frontend/components/McpAppHost.tsx, src/frontend/components/ChatMessagesView.tsx, src/frontend/pages/ChatPage.tsx, src/frontend/hooks/useStreamingAPI.ts, src/frontend/contexts/ChatActionsContext.tsx
Validated MCP Apps render in tool-call cards. The host manages sandbox communication, tool callbacks, links, downloads, sizing, logging, cancellation, and model context.

Authentication rate-limit scope

Layer / File(s) Summary
Authentication route rate limiting
src/server/plugins/auth.plugin.ts, src/server/__tests__/auth-rate-limit.test.ts, e2e/auth/rate-limit.spec.ts, e2e/page-objects/HomePage.ts, e2e/settings/settings-page.spec.ts
Authentication rate limiting is scoped to authentication routes. Tests use specific warning selectors and page-object navigation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to fe303

This change enables interactive third-party MCP App HTML by default in a same-origin sandbox, allowing that content to reach host DOM, cookies, and localStorage. The resulting security exposure makes the PR unsafe to merge until the sandbox is isolated or the feature is explicitly opt-in.

Consider asserting directive isolation between domain lists.

The current assertions confirm presence of each declared domain somewhere in the header. They do not confirm that resourceDomains stay out of connect-src and frame-src. A future refactor of buildSandboxCspHeader could widen connect-src without failing this test.

chatActions changes identity on every render, so the memo gives no stability.

handleSubmit depends on thread at line 298. useStreamingAPI returns a new object on every render, so handleSubmit is recreated on every render, and chatActions follows. Every consumer of ChatActionsContext then re-renders whenever ChatPage renders, including McpAppHost and its sandbox iframe subtree.

Depend on the specific fields instead of the whole thread object.

♻️ Proposed change
   const handleSubmit = useCallback(
     async (inputValue: string) => {
       if (!threadId || !currentChat) return;
@@
-    [thread, threadId, currentChat, dispatch]
+    [thread.submit, thread.messages, threadId, currentChat, dispatch]
   );

If thread.submit is itself unstable, hold thread in a ref and read threadRef.current inside the callback.

232-253: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider accepting an AbortSignal so the pagination loop stops after unmount.

The loop can issue up to maxPages sequential resources/list requests. McpAppHost sets its local cancelled flag on unmount, but that flag cannot stop this loop. If a user opens and closes several MCP Apps, the loops keep running to completion in the background.

Line 245-246 is also redundant. resolveCspAndPermissionsFromReadAndList recomputes the read-derived values on every iteration, so the assignment never carries information forward from an earlier page.

♻️ Proposed change
 export async function resolveCspAndPermissionsWithListFallback(
   resourceUri: string,
   readResult: ResourceReadPayload,
   listPage: (cursor?: string) => Promise<McpAppResourceListPage>,
   maxPages = 20,

Remove the redundant aria-hidden or keep only one hiding mechanism.

The wrapper already receives the hidden utility class, which sets display: none. Assistive technology already skips that subtree. aria-hidden={!isExpanded} duplicates the intent. Keep the class alone to avoid two sources of truth for visibility.

The mount-while-collapsed approach for the MCP App host looks correct: the iframe survives collapse, and teardown runs only on real unmount.

Document why the cleanup reads appRef.current directly.

The lint job warns that appRef.current may change before this cleanup runs. Here that is the intent: the cleanup must reach the live AppRendererHandle to send ui/resource-teardown. Copying the ref into a variable inside the effect would capture null, because the ref is assigned during render commit. Add a targeted eslint-disable-next-line react-hooks/exhaustive-deps with a short reason so the warning does not stay in the pipeline output.

minimal example by setting features.mcp_apps.enabled to false, rather than
relying on the sameOriginAsHost warning in the sandbox proxy. Preserve explicit
opt-in behavior and document the same-origin isolation limitation for preview
users.
- Around line 120-128: Update the RESOURCE_READY handling around the sandbox
attribute assignment to filter p.sandbox against a fixed host-approved token
allowlist, excluding privilege-escalating tokens, and always include
allow-same-origin so inner message origin validation continues to work. Apply
only the validated token set when setting inner’s sandbox attribute, while
preserving the existing permissions handling.

Nitpick comments:
In `@src/frontend/components/ChatMessagesView.tsx`:
- Around line 654-687: Update the tool-body wrapper in ChatMessagesView to
remove the redundant aria-hidden={!isExpanded} attribute and retain the existing
hidden class controlled by !isExpanded as the sole visibility mechanism; leave
the MCP App mounting behavior unchanged.

In `@src/frontend/components/McpAppHost.test.tsx`:
- Around line 601-602: Update the tests around the prototype click stubs to spy
on HTMLAnchorElement.prototype.click instead of assigning a mock directly, and
restore the spy at each test’s cleanup alongside the existing mockRestore calls;
apply this consistently to both occurrences near the tests at lines 601 and 686.

In `@src/frontend/components/McpAppHost.tsx`:
- Around line 371-377: Add a targeted eslint-disable-next-line
react-hooks/exhaustive-deps comment with a brief reason immediately before the
cleanup effect dependency array, documenting that appRef.current must be read at
cleanup time to access the live AppRendererHandle. Keep the existing
teardownWithTimeout(appRef.current) behavior unchanged.
- Around line 224-231: Update the blob-decoding branch in onFallbackRequest to
catch errors from atob and convert malformed base64 into an McpError with
ErrorCode.InvalidParams, preserving the existing blob construction for valid
input and the current missing-content error path.

In `@src/frontend/pages/ChatPage.tsx`:
- Around line 301-307: Stabilize the ChatActionsContext value by updating
handleSubmit and the chatActions useMemo dependencies to avoid depending on the
whole thread object; depend only on the specific stable fields required by
handleSubmit. If thread.submit is unstable, keep the latest thread in a ref and
read threadRef.current inside the callback so chatActions remains referentially
stable for unchanged actions.

In `@src/frontend/redux/slices/chats.test.ts`:
- Around line 164-194: Extend the mergeToolResult test to provide an artifact
and assert that it is stored on the tool call. Also include mcpApp.arguments
with a value differing from the tool call args and assert the mcpApp value takes
precedence.

In `@src/frontend/redux/slices/chats.ts`:
- Around line 154-166: Extract the duplicated MCP argument-merging logic into a
shared helper such as withMcpAppArguments. In
src/frontend/redux/slices/chats.ts#L154-L166, replace the inline mcpApp spread
and fallback chain with the helper using match.args; apply the same helper in
src/frontend/services/agent-rest.ts#L103-L126 using (tc as { args?:
Record<string, unknown> }).args, removing its inline fallback logic so both
paths remain consistent.

In `@src/frontend/services/mcp-apps-api.test.ts`:
- Around line 19-111: The mcp-apps-api tests lack failure-path coverage and
coverage for listMcpAppTools. Add a test with authenticatedFetch returning a
non-OK response, assert the API call rejects with an error containing the
response text, and verify no unintended behavior changes. Add a successful
listMcpAppTools test that checks the resources/tools list endpoint, cursor
payload, and parsed result used for inputSchema resolution and pagination.

In `@src/frontend/services/mcp-apps-api.ts`:
- Around line 49-163: Extract the shared authenticated POST, JSON serialization,
response-status validation, error-text handling, and JSON parsing from
listMcpAppResources, listMcpAppResourceTemplates, readMcpAppResource,
listMcpAppTools, and callMcpAppTool into one generic helper. Update all five
functions to build their endpoint and request body, then delegate to that helper
while preserving their existing result types and error messages.

In `@src/frontend/types/mcp-apps.test.ts`:
- Around line 234-290: Add coverage to the validateMcpAppResourceRead test suite
for both security branches: verify a valid base64-encoded blob HTML resource is
accepted, and verify text containing a NUL byte is rejected with an error
matching “NUL”.

In `@src/frontend/types/mcp-apps.ts`:
- Around line 232-253: Update the pagination helper containing the maxPages loop
to accept an AbortSignal and stop issuing further listPage requests when the
signal is aborted, including passing the signal through the caller’s unmount
cancellation path. Remove the redundant csp and permissions assignments inside
the loop, and return the resolved values directly while preserving the existing
entry and exhausted-cursor behavior.

In `@src/server/utils/mcp-apps-csp.test.ts`:
- Around line 65-80: Strengthen the test for buildSandboxCspHeader by asserting
that resourceDomains entries do not appear in the frame-src or connect-src
directives, while keeping the existing declarations and isolation checks intact.

In `@src/frontend/pages/ChatPage.tsx`:
- Around line 288-289: Update the submit/retry cleanup around the captured
mcpModelContext so pendingMcpModelContextRef is cleared only when it still
references that same captured context; preserve any newer value set through
setMcpModelContext while the operation awaits. Apply this guard at both cleanup
sites near the successful submission and retry paths.
- Around line 262-263: Move the threadRef.current assignment in ChatPage from
render time into a post-commit useEffect that depends on thread, so handleSubmit
and handleStreamRetry only observe committed thread values while preserving the
existing ref usage.
