The closing stage. mcpd now hosts the Stage 5 SPA, the Docker image
bundles the build artifact, a smoke test exercises the personality
HTTP surface end-to-end, and the user-facing docs spell out the
mental model.
mcpd:
- Add @fastify/static dep.
- New routes/web-ui.ts: registers /ui/* against a static bundle. Looks
for the bundle at $MCPD_WEB_ROOT, then /usr/share/mcpd/web (the
Docker image path), then a dev-tree fallback. Logs and skips
cleanly if missing — API-only deploys keep working.
- SPA fallback: any /ui/<path> that doesn't match a file falls through
to index.html so direct hits to react-router URLs work.
- /ui/* falls through to `kind: skip` in mapUrlToPermission, so the
static assets are served unauthenticated. Each API call from the
SPA still carries the bearer token.
Deploy:
- Dockerfile.mcpd builds the @mcpctl/web bundle in the same builder
stage and copies dist/ to /usr/share/mcpd/web in the runtime image.
Smoke (personality.smoke.test.ts):
- Live mcpd flow: create secret/llm/agent/personality, attach an
agent-direct prompt, verify the binding listing, reject double-
attach (409) + foreign-agent prompt (400), set defaultPersonality
by name, detach + delete cleanup.
Docs:
- New docs/personalities.md: VLAN-on-ethernet model, system-block
ordering table, three prompt scopes, CLI walkthrough, web UI
walkthrough, full API surface, RBAC notes.
- agents.md and chat.md cross-link.
- README's Agents section gains a Personalities subsection.
Test count after Stage 6:
mcpd: 801/801 cli: 430/430
web: 7/7 db: 58/62 (4 pre-existing)

New workspace package @mcpctl/web — a Vite + React 19 SPA that talks
to mcpd's existing HTTP API. Bundles to a static dist/ which Stage 6
will bake into the RPM and serve from mcpd at /ui via @fastify/static.
Pages:
/ui/projects list projects
/ui/projects/:name/prompts CRUD project prompts (Monaco editor)
/ui/agents list agents
/ui/agents/:name tabs: Direct prompts | Personalities
/ui/personalities/:id bind/unbind prompts to a personality
Auth: paste a session token (mcpctl auth login) or PAT (mcpctl_pat_*)
once on a login screen, kept in localStorage; logout clears it.
API client: 60-line fetch wrapper, attaches the bearer header from
storage, throws an ApiError with status + parsed body on non-2xx.
A 200-line useFetch hook provides loading/error/data without a
state-management library — we are not building Notion.
UX:
- Dark terminal-adjacent theme so the page feels like the CLI.
- Monaco @monaco-editor/react for prompt content (markdown mode,
word-wrap, search, multi-cursor).
- Personality detail's "attach prompt" picker filters in-scope
candidates: agent-direct + same-project + globals.
Dev loop: pnpm --filter @mcpctl/web dev (vite at :5173, proxies
/api to https://mcpctl.ad.itaz.eu — override with MCPCTL_API_URL).
Build: pnpm --filter @mcpctl/web build → src/web/dist/.
Tests: 7 vitest cases covering the bearer header / 4xx body / 204
no-content path on the api wrapper, and the login storage round-trip
+ help toggle. Production build green: 269 KB JS / 84 KB gzipped.
Typecheck clean (TS strict + exactOptionalPropertyTypes carried over).

mcpd can now deploy MCP server instances as Kubernetes pods instead of
Docker containers. Set MCPD_ORCHESTRATOR=kubernetes to enable.
- Add @kubernetes/client-node with thin wrapper (context enforcement
via MCPD_K8S_CONTEXT to prevent multi-cluster mishaps)
- Rewrite KubernetesOrchestrator: pod CRUD, pod IP extraction,
exec via SPDY (one-shot + interactive), log streaming
- Manifest generator: stdin:true for STDIO servers, args (not command)
to preserve runner image entrypoint, security hardening
- Orchestrator selection in main.ts via MCPD_ORCHESTRATOR env var
- 25 unit tests for k8s orchestrator, all 624 tests pass
Tested end-to-end on local k3s:
- mcpd deployed via Pulumi, creates pods in mcpctl-servers namespace
- NetworkPolicy verified: only mcpd can reach MCP server pods
- Python runner (uvx) successfully runs aws-documentation-mcp-server

- Add warmup() to LlmProvider interface for eager subprocess startup
- ManagedVllmProvider.warmup() starts vLLM in background on project load
- ProviderRegistry.warmupAll() triggers all managed providers
- NamedProvider proxies warmup() to inner provider
- paginate stage generates LLM-powered descriptive page titles when
available, cached by content hash, falls back to generic "Page N"
- project-mcp-endpoint calls warmupAll() on router creation so vLLM
is loading while the session initializes

Ink-based TUI that shows exactly what an LLM sees through MCP.
Browse tools/resources/prompts, execute them, and see raw JSON-RPC
traffic in a protocol log. Supports gated session flow with
begin_session, raw JSON-RPC input, and session reconnect.
- McpSession class wrapping HTTP transport with typed methods
- 12 React/Ink components (header, protocol-log, menu, tool/resource/prompt views, etc.)
- 21 unit tests for McpSession against a mock MCP server
- Fish + Bash completions with project name argument
- bun compile with --external react-devtools-core

Introduce a Helm-chart-like template system for MCP servers. Templates are
YAML files in templates/ that get seeded into the DB on startup. Users can
browse them with `mcpctl get templates`, inspect with `mcpctl describe
template`, and instantiate with `mcpctl create server --from-template=`.
Also adds Portainer deployment scripts, mcplocal systemd service,
Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint, and RPM packaging for mcpctl-local.

Add STDIO and HTTP upstream transports, McpRouter with tool namespacing
and discovery, and StdioProxyServer for aggregating multiple MCP servers.

McpOrchestrator interface with DockerContainerManager implementation,
instance service for lifecycle management, instance API routes,
and docker-compose with mcpd service. 127 tests passing.

Add validation schemas (Zod), repository pattern with Prisma, service layer
with business logic (NotFoundError, ConflictError), and REST routes for
MCP server and profile CRUD. 86 mcpd tests passing.

Add CLI entry point with Commander.js, config management (~/.mcpctl/config.json
with Zod validation), output formatters (table/json/yaml), config and status
commands with dependency injection for testing. Fix sanitizeString regex ordering.
67 tests passing.

Add registry client that queries Official, Glama, and Smithery MCP
registries with caching, request deduplication, retry logic, and
result ranking/dedup. Includes 53 tests covering all components.
Also fix null priority values in cancelled tasks (19-21) that broke
Task Master, and add new tasks 25-27 for registry completion and
CLI discover/install commands.
