Problem

getMcpConfigByName and the mcp remove handler look server names up in plain object maps built from JSON config using a bare servers[name] truthiness check. Reserved names resolve to inherited Object.prototype members, which are truthy:

const servers = { myserver: {...} }
servers['constructor']    // → Object constructor (truthy)
servers['__proto__']      // → object (truthy)
servers['toString']       // → function (truthy)

So:

  • openclaude mcp get constructor skips the if (!server) not-found guard, prints a fabricated record (Scope: undefined), and hands the Object constructor to the health check.
  • openclaude mcp remove constructor falsely reports "exists in multiple scopes: local, project, user" and prompts the user to pick one, instead of "No MCP server found".

The <name> argument comes straight from a user-typed CLI token (mcp get <name> / mcp remove <name>). The same leak reaches runAgent and the print handlers, which all route through getMcpConfigByName.

Fix

Gate every lookup on Object.hasOwn(servers, name) so only real, own-property server names resolve. Covers the enterprise plugin-only path, the four-scope fallthrough in getMcpConfigByName, and the three independent lookup sites in the remove handler.

Regression test seeds a real server via the in-memory test config and asserts constructor/__proto__/toString/hasOwnProperty/valueOf/isPrototypeOf all return null, while a real name still resolves. Verified red on unfixed code, green after.

Same prototype-pollution class as the merged #1433 (FILENAME_LANGS) and #1710 (CLI_COMMAND_MAPPING) fixes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Hardened MCP server handling so inherited or reserved names such as constructor and __proto__ are not treated as configured servers.
    • MCP configuration updates now reject unsafe names and avoid overwriting valid entries when configuration files contain fatal errors.
    • Improved MCP diagnostics for reserved-name and configuration issues, including inactive or missing servers.
    • Malformed managed MCP configuration now fails safely, prevents fallback loading, and reports a settings error.
  • New Features

    • Headless sessions now display MCP configuration warnings in command-line output.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for configuration safety, enterprise boundaries, warning output, and diagnostic reporting.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

MCP configuration now rejects reserved names and fatally invalid configurations. CLI removal and doctor diagnostics use own-property checks. Enterprise errors propagate through settings and MCP loading. Headless sessions now print MCP configuration warnings. Tests cover poisoned scopes, disabled sources, normal mutations, enterprise failures, and orphaned findings.

Changes

MCP hardening

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration lookup, mutation, and parsing guards
src/services/mcp/config.ts
MCP operations use own-property checks, reject __proto__ and constructor, refuse mutations for fatally invalid configurations, validate disabled sources, and preserve fatal parse errors.
Enterprise configuration error propagation
src/services/mcp/config.ts, src/utils/settings/allErrors.ts, src/services/mcp/enterpriseMcpErrors.test.ts, src/services/mcp/enterpriseMcpBoundary.test.ts
Enterprise MCP parse errors surface through MCP loading and settings aggregation. Managed-file exclusivity depends on file presence. Tests cover malformed and valid managed configurations and enterprise lookup boundaries.
CLI and diagnostic scope detection
src/cli/handlers/mcp.tsx, src/services/mcp/doctor.ts, src/services/mcp/doctor.test.ts
CLI removal inspects raw scope maps. Doctor lookups ignore inherited properties, preserve orphaned findings, and avoid duplicate state.not_found findings.
Headless MCP warning propagation
src/main.tsx, src/services/mcp/headlessErrors.ts, src/services/mcp/headlessErrors.test.ts
MCP configuration errors propagate to the main entry point. Headless sessions format them as stderr warnings. Interactive sessions do not emit these warnings.
Prototype and mutation regression coverage
src/services/mcp/config.protoName.test.ts
Tests cover reserved-name parsing, poisoned scope refusal, disabled sources, sibling preservation, inherited-name lookup, and normal mutations.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d00e2

The PR is mergeable with owner follow-up because it adds headless stderr output without a corresponding documentation update, which may leave users unaware of the new command behavior.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.

Findings

  • [P2] Cover the remaining prototype-name mutation and diagnostic paths
    src/services/mcp/config.ts:777
    The new Object.hasOwn checks run only for unscoped removal and for getMcpConfigByName. mcp remove constructor -s user|local|project instead calls removeMcpConfig, whose direct servers[name] checks still accept inherited properties; it reports a successful removal while leaving the real configuration unchanged. The same checks reject valid mcp add constructor calls, __proto__ can be accepted but lost while building normal {} maps, and mcp doctor constructor still fabricates definitions from prototype values. Use own-property/null-prototype handling consistently across these user-input paths (or explicitly reserve these names) and add command-level coverage.

  • [P2] Isolate the new config test's process-wide state
    src/services/mcp/config.protoName.test.ts:27
    This suite changes both NODE_ENV and the shared in-memory global/project configuration but restores only the two mcpServers fields. It neither restores/deletes the original NODE_ENV nor takes the repository's sharedMutationLock, so a shared-process run can leave later tests in test configuration mode or race/clobber another suite's configuration restoration. Save and restore the environment value and serialize the setup/teardown with the shared lock.

Rebased onto current main. Extended the own-property gate to the paths I'd missed: removeMcpConfig's project/user/local existence checks, addMcpConfig's already-exists checks, and doctor's servers[name] / activeServers[name]. Also rejected __proto__ at add time — it passes the character check but assigning it on a plain object hits the prototype setter, so the server would report as added and silently vanish. Test now restores NODE_ENV alongside the config state, and the scoped-removal regression is verified failing on the unfixed code.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.

Findings

  • [P2] Serialize the config-mutating regression test
    src/services/mcp/config.protoName.test.ts:33
    Each test replaces NODE_ENV and the process-wide global and project MCP configurations, but this suite never acquires sharedMutationLock. Bun can run it alongside another state-mutating test file, allowing that file to observe the injected realserver/locallyreal fixture or have its updates overwritten when this suite restores its stale snapshots. The repository uses acquireSharedMutationLock/releaseSharedMutationLock for this exact class of shared-state test (including src/services/mcp/officialRegistry.test.ts); acquire it in the async setup and release it from the teardown's finally block.

  • [P2] Handle existing file-based __proto__ entries consistently
    src/services/mcp/config.ts:784
    A hand-authored .mcp.json can still contain mcpServers["__proto__"]: the schema accepts it, but the existing parser drops it while copying into a plain object. Before this change, the project-scope removal path used an inherited-property lookup and rewrote that file without the entry; this new own-property guard instead reports it as absent, so an existing configuration that users could previously clean up through mcp remove __proto__ -s project is now stranded. Either reject reserved keys at file-config ingress with a surfaced validation error, or explicitly preserve and remove them; add a regression test for an existing .mcp.json entry.

Both addressed.

The suite now takes sharedMutationLock in setup and releases it from a finally, matching officialRegistry.test.ts.

On __proto__: the entry never reaches the removal path — the schema's own object rebuild drops it before validation runs, so it vanished with no diagnostic at all. I surface a fatal validation error naming the entry instead, matching the rejection addMcpConfig already performs. The rest of the file still parses. (Test note: the fixture has to go through JSON.parse, since an object literal would set the prototype rather than create an own key.)

Findings

  • [P2] Reject constructor before persisting an MCP server
    src/services/mcp/config.ts:639
    The new own-property checks now let mcp add constructor -s project (and the user/local equivalents) persist a mcpServers.constructor entry. On the next read, however, McpJsonConfigSchema rejects that configuration at mcpServers, making the newly added server unusable and preventing the scope's other MCP servers from loading. Reserve constructor alongside __proto__ (or make the schema preserve it), with an add/reload regression test; the current suite only covers __proto__ rejection.

Fixed, and the failure is worse than an unusable entry: the schema rejects the whole mcpServers object for that name, so adding constructor takes down every other server in the scope on the next read.

constructor is reserved alongside __proto__ at add, and both are named at file ingress — the only diagnostic before was a generic "does not adhere to schema" against mcpServers, which doesn't say which entry is at fault. That scan runs ahead of the schema parse since it returns early.

I checked the rest of the prototype surface: toString, hasOwnProperty, valueOf, isPrototypeOf, propertyIsEnumerable and toLocaleString all persist and read back correctly, so those two are the whole set.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.

Findings

  • [P2] Propagate fatal errors from partially parsed dynamic configs
    src/main.tsx:1410
    parseMcpConfig now returns both a usable partial config and a fatal reserved-name error when a --mcp-config JSON/file contains __proto__ alongside valid entries. This branch takes result.config and discards result.errors, so the CLI silently starts with the bad server dropped instead of rejecting the invalid input. Collect errors independently of whether a partial config was returned (or make fatal reserved-name parses return null) so this ingress honors the new validation.

  • [P2] Keep reserved-name parse errors visible in all-server doctor output
    src/services/mcp/doctor.ts:648
    The new reserved-name errors are keyed by serverName, but doctorAllServers only creates reports for names that survived parsing or are active. __proto__ is omitted from the parsed map and constructor makes parsing fail, so their fatal findings remain in serverFindingsByName but are never emitted; openclaude mcp doctor --config-only can report clean while the invalid config is present. Include validation-only names in the report set, or retain such findings as global findings when no definition exists.

0xfandom added 8 commits July 27, 2026 12:20
getMcpConfigByName and the mcp remove handler look names up in plain
object maps built from JSON config with a bare servers[name] truthiness
check. Reserved names ('constructor', '__proto__', 'toString', …) resolve
to inherited Object.prototype members, which are truthy, so:

- `mcp get constructor` skips the not-found guard, prints a fabricated
  record, and hands the Object constructor to the health check;
- `mcp remove constructor` reports the reserved name as present in
  multiple scopes and prompts to pick one instead of "No MCP server found".

The same leak reaches runAgent and the print handlers, which all route
through getMcpConfigByName. Gate every lookup on Object.hasOwn so only
real, own-property server names resolve.
Save and restore getCurrentProjectConfig().mcpServers the same way the
global config is handled, rather than hardcoding undefined, so the test
never leaks state into suites that share the in-memory test config.
The own-property gate only covered unscoped removal and getMcpConfigByName.
The scoped paths still used bare lookups:

- removeMcpConfig's project/user/local existence checks accepted inherited
  members, so 'mcp remove constructor -s user' reported a successful removal
  while leaving the configuration untouched;
- addMcpConfig's already-exists checks rejected valid 'mcp add constructor';
- doctor's servers[name] and activeServers[name] fabricated definitions for
  prototype names.

Gate all of them on Object.hasOwn. Also reject the name '__proto__' at add
time: it passes the character check but assigning it on a plain object hits
the prototype setter instead of creating an own property, so the server
would be reported as added and silently vanish.

Restore NODE_ENV in the test teardown alongside the config state.
A hand-authored .mcp.json can contain a server named "__proto__": JSON.parse
gives it a real own key, but it cannot be copied onto a plain object, so the
schema's rebuild dropped it before validation ever ran. The entry simply did
not exist and nothing said why, and with own-property lookups the scoped
removal path now correctly reports it as absent -- so there was no way to
learn the name was the problem.

Detect it on the raw parsed config and surface a fatal validation error
naming the entry, matching the rejection addMcpConfig already performs for
the same name. The rest of the file still parses.
The suite swaps NODE_ENV and the process-wide global and project MCP
configurations without holding sharedMutationLock, so bun can run it
alongside another state-mutating file: that file observes the injected
realserver/locallyreal fixtures, or its own updates are overwritten when
this teardown restores its snapshots.

Acquire the lock in setup and release it from a finally in teardown, the
same shape officialRegistry.test.ts uses.

Also cover the reserved __proto__ entry arriving from parsed file config.
With own-property lookups in place, `mcp add constructor` persists an entry
the config schema then rejects -- and it rejects the whole mcpServers
object, so the newly added server is unusable and every other server in that
scope stops loading with it.

Refuse the name at add, and name it at file ingress: the only diagnostic
before was a generic "does not adhere to schema" against `mcpServers`, which
does not say which entry is at fault. The scan runs ahead of the schema
parse because that path returns early. `__proto__` and `constructor` are the
only two names that fail a write/read round trip -- toString,
hasOwnProperty, valueOf and the rest all persist and read back correctly.
parseMcpConfig flagged a fatal reserved name but, for __proto__, still returned
a usable partial config because zod's rebuild silently drops the key and the
schema parse succeeds. Callers that branch on the config -- the --mcp-config
ingress in main.tsx -- then took the partial config and discarded the error,
starting with the bad entry quietly gone. Return config: null whenever a fatal
reserved-name error is present, matching the constructor path where the schema
already fails, so the invalid input is rejected at every consumer.
…tput

doctorAllServers builds server reports only for names that survived parsing or
are active, and attaches server-keyed findings to those. A fatal reserved-name
error is keyed by a name that never survives parsing, so its finding was built
into no report and dropped -- mcp doctor --config-only read clean while the
invalid config was present. Surface any finding whose server has no report as a
global finding.

Addressed both P2s. (1) parseMcpConfig now returns config: null whenever a fatal reserved-name error is present — __proto__ previously passed the schema (zod drops the key) and left a usable partial config, so the main.tsx ingress took it and discarded the error. Returning null rejects the input at every consumer, matching the constructor path. (2) doctorAllServers now folds any finding whose server produced no report into the global findings, so a reserved-name error keyed to a never-parsed name is emitted instead of dropped (--config-only no longer reads clean over an invalid config). Regressions added for both.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.

The two items from my prior review look fixed on the current head: fatal reserved-name parses now return config: null, and doctorAllServers promotes orphaned reserved-name findings into report.findings. The gaps below are in the single-server doctorServer path and in project-scope mutation when a fatally poisoned .mcp.json is still on disk.

Findings

  • [P1] Do not rebuild project .mcp.json from an empty parsed map after a fatal reserved-name parse
    src/services/mcp/config.ts:731
    Rejecting a file that contains __proto__ or constructor now returns config: null for the whole scope, which is the right parse contract. Project-scope addMcpConfig was not updated for that contract: it still calls getProjectMcpConfigsFromCwd(), gets servers: {}, rebuilds mcpServers from that empty map, and writes only the newly added server via writeMcpjsonFile. A file such as {"mcpServers":{"__proto__":{...},"realone":{...}}} therefore loses every on-disk entry that did not survive parsing, including valid siblings. Before this PR the reserved key was dropped silently but siblings still loaded, so mcp add … -s project could recover without hand-editing JSON; it is now data loss. Either reject the add with the fatal parse error, or read and rewrite the raw file instead of writing from the empty parsed snapshot.

  • [P2] Let project-scope removal repair a fatally poisoned .mcp.json
    src/services/mcp/config.ts:791
    The same fatal parse leaves existingServers empty, so mcp remove __proto__ -s project and mcp remove <valid-sibling> -s project both throw “No MCP server found” even though those keys are still in the file. Before this PR a valid sibling could still be removed because it survived parsing; that recovery path is now gone. Project removal should operate on the raw mcpServers object, or refuse with the fatal parse error and remediation, instead of treating an empty parsed map as proof of absence.

  • [P2] Surface reserved-name validation errors in single-server doctor output
    src/services/mcp/doctor.ts:716
    doctorAllServers now promotes server-keyed reserved-name findings whose names never survive parsing. doctorServer still sets report.findings = globalFindings only and never applies that orphan fold. Two failure modes follow from the same gap. First, when only the poisoned project scope is in play (mcp doctor realone while .mcp.json contains __proto__ plus realone), the fatal mcpServers.__proto__ error is dropped and the report shows only state.not_found for realone — exit 1 with the wrong root cause. Second, when the requested name still exists in another scope (realserver in user settings while project .mcp.json is poisoned), doctorServer('realserver') exits 0 with zero blocking findings while the fatal project config error stays hidden. Reuse the orphan-promotion logic from doctorAllServers, or otherwise emit scope-level fatal validation errors in single-target doctor mode.

  • [P2] Do not add state.not_found when reserved-name validation already explains the target
    src/services/mcp/doctor.ts:593
    When the user runs openclaude mcp doctor __proto__ (or constructor) against a file that still carries that entry, buildServerReport attaches the fatal reserved-name validation finding via validationFindingsByName.get(name) and then unconditionally pushes state.not_found because no definition survives parsing. The report therefore contains two blocking findings with contradictory messages (config.validation_error and “was not found in the selected MCP configuration sources”), and summary.blocking becomes 2. Skip the not-found branch when validation findings already exist for the requested name.

…etic

getMcpConfigsByScope() returns an empty writability-error list when a scope's
setting source is disabled, and allowedSettingSources is a process-wide global
other suites mutate. In bun's file order a suite that leaves localSettings
disabled (e.g. one exercising --setting-sources) would make the 'fatally
poisoned local scope' case skip its guard, so addMcpConfig(...'local') resolved
instead of rejecting -- the intermittent CI failure at config.protoName.test.ts.
Pin the full source set in beforeEach and restore it in afterEach, matching the
NODE_ENV and MCP-config snapshotting this suite already does.

Tracked down the intermittent smoke-and-tests failure (the refuses local add/remove when the local scope is fatally poisoned case, expected-reject-got-resolve) and reproduced it deterministically.

Root cause is test isolation, not the fix itself. getMcpConfigsByScope() returns an empty writability-error list when a scope's setting source is disabled (line 967) — correct for listing, since disabled sources shouldn't surface servers. But allowedSettingSources is a process-wide global that several other suites mutate (e.g. ones exercising --setting-sources project/flag). In bun's file-execution order, if one of those leaves localSettings disabled, this suite — which pins NODE_ENV and the global/project MCP maps but not the source set — inherits it, the local-poison guard short-circuits, and addMcpConfig(..., 'local') resolves instead of rejecting. Same signature as CI.

Repro: run a throwaway suite that calls setAllowedSettingSources without localSettings ahead of this file → the local-scope test fails every time; drop it → passes.

Fix pins the full source set in beforeEach and restores it in afterEach, matching the hermeticity the suite already applies to NODE_ENV and the MCP configs. Verified: with a leaker running first, the suite went 1-fail → all-pass; fails-on-bug confirmed by neutering the pin. 14 pass isolated, typecheck clean.

…ilter

assertMcpScopeWritable read errors from getMcpConfigsByScope()/
getProjectMcpConfigsFromCwd(), which suppress errors to an empty list when a
scope's setting source is disabled. addMcpConfig/removeMcpConfig still mutate
the raw mcpServers maps, so under a narrowed --setting-sources set a fatally
poisoned scope could be written or deleted (clobbering valid siblings) while the
CLI reported success. Add getScopeMutationErrors(), which parses each scope's
raw source directly, and route every write guard through it.
Unscoped `mcp remove` read local/user membership from the raw
getCurrentProjectConfig()/getGlobalConfig() maps while project used the parsed
view. A fatally poisoned local/user scope has no loadable servers yet still
holds the raw entry, so the handler listed the server as living there and then
removeMcpConfig refused with 'Cannot modify … config'. Read all three scopes
through getMcpConfigsByScope() so detection matches what is actually removable.

Worked through the findings.

[P3] Fatal-parse write guard bypassed when a source is disabled (config.ts:967) — fixed. Added getScopeMutationErrors(scope), which parses each scope's raw source directly (project → cwd .mcp.json, user → getGlobalConfig().mcpServers, local → getCurrentProjectConfig().mcpServers) independent of isSettingSourceEnabled. Routed every write guard in addMcpConfig/removeMcpConfig through it, so a poisoned scope is refused even under a narrowed --setting-sources. New regression: with localSettings excluded, add/remove on a poisoned local scope still reject (fails-on-bug verified).

[P3] Unscoped mcp remove advertises poisoned scopes (cli/handlers/mcp.tsx:217) — fixed. Local/user membership now comes from the parsed getMcpConfigsByScope() views like project already did, so a poisoned scope with no loadable servers isn't listed as a removal target and then refused.

[P2] Flake — pinned allowedSettingSources in the suite (matching its NODE_ENV / MCP-config snapshotting). That closes the source-disabled vector, verified fails-on-bug, but CI stayed red on the same assertion, so that wasn't the whole story. Digging further: feature('CHICAGO_MCP') resolves off in the test env (bun:bundle macro under --feature=UNATTENDED_RETRY), so the await import(computerUse/common.js) branch is dead in tests and addMcpConfig runs fully synchronously from the fixture setup to the guard read — there's no await window for a concurrent suite to clobber the singleton, which rules out the interleave theory. A full local bun test (7648 tests, --max-concurrency=1 as CI) did not reproduce it — config.protoName passes; the only failures are pre-existing local-env cases (CLI-bundle / provider-cap / ultracode). I'd rather not keep pushing speculative isolation patches that I can't reproduce, so I've left it here with the mechanism still open. If you can share whether CI runs a different feature set or preload than test:full, that'd narrow it fast.

[P2] Enterprise exclusive mode drops fatal errors (config.ts:1165) — not in this push. The enterprise branch returns PluginError[], and the enterprise ValidationError[] don't map cleanly onto the plugin-shaped mcp-config-invalid variant; propagating them properly wants a dedicated error channel plus the allErrors.ts aggregation you flagged. Want to do that as its own change rather than bolt it on here.

Full suite is regression-free vs baseline (identical failure set, all pre-existing env cases). Typecheck clean.

Good catch — the earlier change routed only the project write-guard errors through the ungated read; the existence check and the .mcp.json rebuild still pulled servers from the source-gated getProjectMcpConfigsFromCwd(). With projectSettings excluded from --setting-sources that returns an empty map, so an add would rebuild the file without its valid siblings and a remove would mis-report the server as absent. Since getProjectMcpConfigsFromCwd() is a mutation-only read (its only callers are add/remove), I dropped the source gate from it entirely so it always reflects the real file, and folded the project guards back onto its returned errors — getScopeMutationErrors is now user/local only. Added a regression: with projectSettings disabled, add preserves the sibling and remove succeeds (fails-on-bug verified). 105 mcp tests pass, typecheck clean.

I rechecked my prior feedback on the current head. The Object.hasOwn lookup hardening, reserved-name ingress in parseMcpConfig/addMcpConfig, project-scope write guards, doctor orphan promotion for reserved-name findings, getScopeMutationErrors for user/local mutation guards, unscoped-remove scope detection via parsed scope views, and existence-based doesEnterpriseMcpConfigExist all look correct for this PR's intent. One item still needs to be addressed before this is ready.

Findings

  • [P2] Required check failing: poisoned local-scope tests flake in the full suite
    src/services/mcp/config.protoName.test.ts:313
    CI smoke-and-tests fails on refuses local add/remove when the local scope is fatally poisoned and still refuses a poisoned scope whose setting source is disabled: addMcpConfig('newsrv', …, 'local') resolves instead of throwing Cannot modify local config. Both tests pass in isolation and in the src/services/mcp/ package target, so this is a test-isolation problem, not a product-logic miss on the happy path. The failure happens under full bun test parallelism while other suites mutate the process-wide testProjectConfigForTesting singleton; sharedMutationLock serializes other lock holders but not every writer of project config. Harden the suite (extend isolation beyond mcpServers snapshots, or block parallel writers of the test project config) so the regression stays stable under CI's full suite.

The local-scope poison regressions flaked under the full parallel suite:
sharedMutationLock serializes other lock holders but not every writer of the
process-wide test project config or NODE_ENV, so a stray async task from another
suite could clobber the fixture during an await gap between the setup and the
assertion. addMcpConfig/removeMcpConfig reach their scope guard with no awaited
work in between, so re-establishing NODE_ENV, the enabled sources, and the
poisoned config synchronously immediately before each mutation (pinPoisonedLocalScope)
keeps the guard's read atomic regardless of what ran during earlier awaits.

Reworked the isolation per your guidance. The local-scope guard in add/remove is reached with no awaited work in between (the CHICAGO_MCP dynamic-import branch is off in the test build), so the whole mutation runs synchronously from the fixture setup to the guard read. The flake window is the await gaps between statements, where a stray async task from another suite can clobber the process-wide testProjectConfigForTesting or NODE_ENVsharedMutationLock only serializes other lock holders, not every writer of the shared test config.

So instead of snapshotting once, pinPoisonedLocalScope re-establishes NODE_ENV, the enabled sources, and the poisoned config synchronously immediately before each mutation, with no await separating the pin from the addMcpConfig/removeMcpConfig call. Since the guard read happens in that same tick, it's atomic regardless of what ran during earlier awaits. Applied to both cited local tests (full source set and the disabled-localSettings case).

I can't reproduce the flake locally — a full bun test --max-concurrency=1 run passes these — so I can't prove the CI failure is gone from here, but this closes the concrete clobber window you identified. Full suite is regression-free vs baseline; typecheck clean. Will watch the CI run on this push.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.

Findings

  • [P2] Surface the fatal managed-MCP parse error in exclusive mode
    src/services/mcp/config.ts:1191
    The new existence-based lock enters this branch whenever managed-mcp.json is present, but destructures only servers and returns errors: []. Thus an invalid or reserved-name managed file disables every other MCP source and blocks dynamic configuration, while startup and the MCP UI receive an empty server list with no actionable error. Propagate the enterprise parse errors through this branch (and the corresponding settings error aggregation) so the fail-closed policy state is diagnosable.

  • [P2] Keep unscoped removal compatible with disabled-source mutations
    src/cli/handlers/mcp.tsx:211
    getMcpConfigsByScope returns no entries for a source excluded by --setting-sources, so an unscoped mcp remove foo now says No MCP server found for a clean user/local config that removeMcpConfig(foo, scope) still deliberately permits mutating. This regresses the old raw membership probe and contradicts the new mutation-path behavior; use a source-filter-independent membership check here, or reject disabled-source mutations consistently.

Enterprise exclusive mode engages on the managed file's presence, so a
malformed or reserved-name managed-mcp.json fail-closes every other MCP source.
getClaudeCodeMcpConfigs returned errors: [] for that branch, and
getSettingsWithAllErrors aggregated only user/project/local, so startup and the
MCP UI saw an empty server list with no diagnosable reason. Propagate the
enterprise scope's parse errors as generic-error PluginErrors from the exclusive
branch and include the enterprise scope in the settings error aggregation.
Reading membership from getMcpConfigsByScope applied the --setting-sources load
filter, so an unscoped `mcp remove foo` reported "No MCP server found" for a
clean user/local/project entry that removeMcpConfig(foo, scope) still mutates
when that source is narrowed out. Read each scope the same way removeMcpConfig
resolves existence -- the raw getCurrentProjectConfig()/getGlobalConfig() maps
and getProjectMcpConfigsFromCwd() -- still own-property gated so inherited
members are not treated as present.

Both addressed.

[P2] Enterprise parse errors surfacedgetClaudeCodeMcpConfigs's exclusive branch now maps the enterprise scope's parse errors to generic-error PluginErrors (Managed MCP config is invalid (<path>): <message>, sourced at the managed file) instead of returning errors: [], and getSettingsWithAllErrors includes the enterprise scope in its aggregation. So a malformed / reserved-name managed-mcp.json produces a diagnosable error at startup and in the MCP UI rather than a silent empty list while the policy lock stays engaged. New enterpriseMcpErrors.test.ts drives it via a temp managed file (fatal __proto__ → error surfaced + fail-closed, clean file → no error + server loads); fails-on-bug verified.

[P2] Unscoped removal membership — you're right that routing membership through getMcpConfigsByScope reintroduced the load-time source filter. It now reads each scope exactly the way removeMcpConfig(name, scope) resolves existence — the raw getCurrentProjectConfig() / getGlobalConfig() maps and getProjectMcpConfigsFromCwd(), all Object.hasOwn-gated — so a clean entry under a narrowed --setting-sources is still found and removed, and a poisoned scope is advertised and then met with the same Cannot modify … config refusal as the scoped path (consistent rather than a false "not found").

CI is green (the flake fix held). Full suite regression-free vs baseline, typecheck clean.

    Previously, a malformed managed-mcp.json did not activate enterprise exclusivity. This PR correctly changes that to fail closed and returns a generic-error, but the mcpConfigPromise consumer in main.tsx destructures only servers (main.tsx:2336) and discards errors. Consequently, openclaude -p ... with an invalid managed file now suppresses every file-based MCP source without a diagnostic. Surface the fatal managed-config error in the headless path (and add coverage) so scripted users can distinguish a broken mandatory policy file from an intentionally empty MCP configuration.

The headless (-p) MCP consumer destructured only servers from the
config promise and discarded errors. A fatal managed-mcp.json
fail-closes every file-based MCP source, so scripted users saw an empty
server list with no diagnostic — indistinguishable from an intentionally
empty configuration. Emit the config errors on stderr in non-interactive
sessions (interactive already surfaces them via the MCP error UI).

Good catch — the headless path was dropping the errors. Fixed in edc3958: the -p MCP consumer now surfaces the config errors on stderr (interactive keeps using the MCP error UI), so a fatal managed-mcp.json reads as a diagnostic instead of an empty server list. Pulled the guard into a small getHeadlessMcpConfigWarnings helper with unit coverage for the headless / interactive / no-error cases.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.

Findings

  • [P1] Keep named MCP lookups inside the enterprise-exclusive boundary
    src/services/mcp/config.ts:1137
    This PR changes doesEnterpriseMcpConfigExist() so the presence of a malformed managed-mcp.json engages enterprise-exclusive, fail-closed mode. That policy is correctly enforced by getClaudeCodeMcpConfigs(), which drops every non-enterprise source, but getMcpConfigByName() does not consult the same boundary: unless plugin-only mode is separately enabled, it proceeds to the local/project/user maps after the enterprise lookup.

    Consequently, a user can retain a locally configured MCP server, introduce or encounter an invalid managed file, and then bypass the intended fail-closed policy through a named lookup. mcp get <user-server> resolves that server and passes it to checkMcpServerHealth; named entries in an agent definition take the same lookup through runAgent and can connect the server. Those routes should not be able to activate a non-enterprise MCP server while the managed file is present.

    Please centralize the effective MCP visibility policy rather than letting individual lookup paths reconstruct it. At minimum, make getMcpConfigByName() return only an enterprise-owned entry (or null) whenever doesEnterpriseMcpConfigExist() is true, before consulting the other scopes. Add an integration-level regression test covering a malformed-but-present managed-mcp.json plus a user/local server, and assert both the CLI named lookup and an agent named-server reference reject or omit the non-enterprise server.

getMcpConfigByName() gated plugin-only mode but not the enterprise-
exclusive policy. A present managed-mcp.json takes exclusive, fail-closed
control of MCP (its mere presence engages the policy, even when the file
is malformed), and getClaudeCodeMcpConfigs() drops every non-enterprise
source accordingly — but the named lookup fell through to the user/
project/local maps. A user with a locally configured server plus an
invalid managed file could therefore still resolve that server by name
via 'mcp get <server>' (checkMcpServerHealth) or an agent definition's
named-server reference (runAgent), bypassing the intended policy.

Return only an enterprise-owned entry (or null) whenever
doesEnterpriseMcpConfigExist() is true, before consulting other scopes,
mirroring the boundary getClaudeCodeMcpConfigs() already enforces.

Good catch — the named lookup was reconstructing its own visibility policy and missing the enterprise-exclusive boundary. Fixed in d00e246: getMcpConfigByName() now returns only an enterprise-owned entry (or null) whenever doesEnterpriseMcpConfigExist() is true, before it consults the user/project/local maps — same fail-closed boundary getClaudeCodeMcpConfigs() enforces, and it fires on a malformed-but-present managed file too.

Since both mcp get <server> (via checkMcpServerHealth) and an agent's named-server reference (via runAgent) resolve through this one function, the regression test drives it directly: enterpriseMcpBoundary.test.ts asserts that with a managed file present — valid or fatally malformed — usersrv/localsrv resolve to null while an enterprise-owned name still resolves, and that without the managed file the user/local names resolve as normal. Verified fails-on-bug.

Add project-scope and fatal-invalidation coverage.

getMcpConfigByName() has separate project, user, and local lookup paths, but this test seeds only user and local servers. Add an isolated project-scoped server and assert that it resolves without managed-mcp.json and returns null with both valid and malformed managed files. In the malformed case, assert that getMcpConfigByName('entsrv') also returns null.

Run bun test ./src/services/mcp/enterpriseMcpBoundary.test.ts, bun run typecheck, and bun run typecheck:type-tests.

In `@src/services/mcp/enterpriseMcpBoundary.test.ts` around lines 58 - 68, Add
isolated project-scoped server coverage in enterpriseMcpBoundary.test.ts using
the project configuration setup, and assert getMcpConfigByName resolves it
without managed-mcp.json. For valid and malformed managed-mcp.json cases, assert
project lookup returns null; in the malformed case also assert
getMcpConfigByName('entsrv') returns null. Run the specified test and typecheck
suites.
