Follow-up to faccbb5: the describe-secret test for --show-values used the
old fetchResource shape, so it broke after the route now goes through
client.get directly with ?reveal=true.
Any token with policy-write + auth/token admin works; root is a convenient
default but a scoped service account is fine too. The previous naming
misrepresented the permission floor as root-only.
- flag: --admin-token → --setup-token
- wizard field: adminToken → setupToken
- prompt label: "OpenBao admin / root token" → "OpenBao setup token (needs
policy write + auth/token admin perms; root is fine)"
- file doc + one comment reworded
- tests updated for the new label
- regression test (token-absent-from-stdout) kept unchanged

One-command setup replaces the 6-step manual flow — `mcpctl create
secretbackend bao --type openbao --wizard` takes the OpenBao admin token
once, provisions a narrow policy + token role, mints the first periodic
token, stores it on mcpd, verifies end-to-end, and prints the migration
command. The admin token is NEVER persisted.
The stored credential auto-rotates daily: mcpd mints a successor via the
token role (self-rotation capability is part of the policy it was issued
with), verifies the successor, writes it over the backing Secret, then
revokes the predecessor by accessor. TTL 720h means a week of rotation
failures still leaves 20+ days of runway.
Shared:
- New `@mcpctl/shared/vault` — pure HTTP wrappers (verifyHealth,
ensureKvV2, writePolicy, ensureTokenRole, mintRoleToken, revokeAccessor,
lookupSelf, testWriteReadDelete) and policy HCL builder.
mcpd:
- `tokenMeta Json @default("{}")` on SecretBackend. Self-healing schema
migration — empty default lets `prisma db push` add the column cleanly.
- SecretBackendRotator.rotateOne: mint → verify → persist → revoke-old →
update tokenMeta. Failures surface via `lastRotationError` on the row;
the old token keeps working.
- SecretBackendRotatorLoop: on startup rotates overdue backends, schedules
per-backend timers with ±10min jitter. Stops cleanly on shutdown.
- New `POST /api/v1/secretbackends/:id/rotate` (operation
`rotate-secretbackend` — added to bootstrap-admin's auto-migrated ops
alongside migrate-secrets, which was previously missing too).
CLI:
- `--wizard` on `create secretbackend` delegates to the interactive flow.
All prompts can be pre-answered via flags (--url, --admin-token,
--mount, --path-prefix, --policy-name, --token-role,
--no-promote-default) for CI.
- `mcpctl rotate secretbackend <name>` — convenience verb; hits the new
rotate endpoint.
- `describe secretbackend` renders a Token health section (healthy /
STALE / WARNING / ERROR) with generated/renewal/expiry timestamps and
last rotation error. Only shown when tokenMeta.rotatable is true — the
existing k8s-auth + static-token backends don't surface it.
Tests: 15 vault-client unit tests (shared), 8 rotator unit tests (mcpd),
3 wizard flow tests (cli, including a regression test that the admin
token never appears in stdout). Full suite 1885/1885 (+32). Completions
regenerated for the new flags.
Out of scope (explicit): kubernetes-auth wizard, Vault Enterprise
namespaces in the wizard path, rotation for non-wizard static-token
backends. See plan file for details.

Why: Phases 0-3 built the server-managed Llm registry; this phase pivots the
existing Project.llmProvider column from "local provider hint" to "named Llm
reference" so operators can pick a centralised Llm per project. No schema
change — the column stays a free-form string for backward compat.
- `mcpctl create project --llm <name>` (+ `--llm-model <override>`) sets
llmProvider/llmModel to a centralised Llm reference, or 'none' to disable.
- `mcpctl describe project` fetches the Llm catalogue alongside prompts and
flags values that don't resolve with a visible warning. 'none' is treated
as an explicit disable, not an orphan.
- `apply -f` doc comments updated; --llm-provider still accepted but now
documented as naming an Llm resource.
- New `resolveProjectLlmReference(mcpdClient, name)` helper in mcplocal's
discovery: returns `registered`/`disabled`/`unregistered`/`unreachable`.
The HTTP-mode proxy-model pipeline will consume this when it pivots to
mcpd's /api/v1/llms/:name/infer proxy.
- project-mcp-endpoint.ts cache-namespace path gets a comment explaining
the new resolution order — behavior unchanged, just clarified.
Tests: 6 resolver unit tests + 3 new describe-warning cases. Full suite
1853/1853 (+9 from Phase 3's 1844). TypeScript clean; completions
regenerated for the new create-project flags.

Delivers the final piece of the mcptoken stack: a containerized,
network-accessible mcplocal that serves Streamable-HTTP MCP to off-host
clients (the vLLM use case), authenticated by project-scoped McpTokens.
New binary (same package, new entry):
- src/mcplocal/src/serve.ts — HTTP-only entry. Reads MCPLOCAL_MCPD_URL,
MCPLOCAL_MCPD_TOKEN, MCPLOCAL_HTTP_HOST/PORT, MCPLOCAL_CACHE_DIR from
env. No StdioProxyServer, no --upstream.
- src/mcplocal/src/http/token-auth.ts — Fastify preHandler that
validates mcpctl_pat_ bearers via mcpd's /api/v1/mcptokens/introspect.
30s positive / 5s negative TTL. Rejects wrong-project with 403.
Shared HTTP MCP client:
- src/shared/src/mcp-http/ — reusable McpHttpSession with initialize,
listTools, callTool, close. Handles http+https, SSE, id correlation,
distinct McpProtocolError / McpTransportError. Plus mcpHealthCheck
and deriveBaseUrl helpers.
New CLI verb `mcpctl test mcp <url>`:
- Flags: --token (also $MCPCTL_TOKEN), --tool, --args (JSON),
--expect-tools, --timeout, -o text|json, --no-health.
- Exit codes: 0 PASS, 1 TRANSPORT/AUTH FAIL, 2 CONTRACT FAIL.
Container + deploy:
- deploy/Dockerfile.mcplocal (Node 20 alpine, multi-stage, pnpm
workspace, CMD node src/mcplocal/dist/serve.js, VOLUME
/var/lib/mcplocal/cache, HEALTHCHECK on :3200/healthz).
- scripts/build-mcplocal.sh mirrors build-mcpd.sh.
- fulldeploy.sh is now a 4-step pipeline that also builds + rolls out
mcplocal (gated on `kubectl get deployment/mcplocal` so the script
stays green before the Pulumi stack lands).
Audit + cache:
- project-mcp-endpoint.ts passes MCPLOCAL_CACHE_DIR into FileCache at
both construction sites and, when request.mcpToken is present, calls
collector.setSessionMcpToken(id, ...) so audit events carry the
tokenName/tokenSha.
Tests:
- 9 unit cases on `mcpctl test mcp` (happy path, health miss,
expect-tools hit/miss, transport throw, tool isError, json report,
$MCPCTL_TOKEN env fallback, invalid --args).
- Smoke test src/mcplocal/tests/smoke/mcptoken.smoke.test.ts —
gated on healthz($MCPGW_URL), skipped cleanly when unreachable.
Covers happy path, wrong-project 403, --expect-tools contract
failure, and revocation 401 within the negative-cache window.
1773/1773 workspace tests pass. Pulumi resources (Deployment, Service,
Ingress, PVC, Secret, NetworkPolicy) still need to land in
../kubernetes-deployment before the smoke gate flips on.

BREAKING: `mcpctl create rbac` no longer accepts `--binding` or
`--operation`. Use `--roleBindings` instead with key:value pairs:
# resource binding
--roleBindings role:view,resource:servers
--roleBindings role:view,resource:servers,name:my-ha
# operation binding (role:run is implied by action:)
--roleBindings action:logs
The on-disk YAML shape (`roleBindings: [{role, resource, name?}]` or
`{role:'run', action}`) is unchanged, so Git backups and existing
`apply -f` files continue to work. Only the command-line input format
changes.
The parser is extracted to src/cli/src/commands/rbac-bindings.ts so the
upcoming `mcpctl create mcptoken --bind <kv>` verb can reuse it.
Completions, tests, and the new parser unit test all pass (406/406).

Move backup SSH keys and repo URL from MCPD_BACKUP_REPO env var to a
"backup-ssh" secret in the database. Keys are auto-generated on first
init and stored back into the secret. Also fix ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT
crash caused by reply.send() without return in routes when onSend hook
is registered.

DB is source of truth with git as downstream replica. SSH key generated
on first start, all resource mutations committed as apply-compatible YAML.
Supports manual commit import, conflict resolution (DB wins), disaster
recovery (empty DB restores from git), and timeline branches on restore.

proxyMode "direct" was a security hole (leaked secrets as plaintext env
vars in .mcp.json) and bypassed all mcplocal features (gating, audit,
RBAC, content pipeline, namespacing). Removed from schema, API, CLI,
and all tests. Old configs with proxyMode are accepted but silently
stripped via Zod .transform() for backward compatibility.

- Rewrite README Content Pipeline section as Plugin System section
documenting built-in plugins (default, gate, content-pipeline),
plugin hooks, and the relationship between gating and proxyModel
- Update all README examples to use --proxy-model instead of --gated
- Add unit tests: proxyModel normalization in JSON/YAML output (4 tests),
Plugin Config section in describe output (2 tests)
- Add smoke tests: yaml/json output shows resolved proxyModel without
gated field, round-trip compatibility (4 tests)

- 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

Implements the full gated session flow and prompt intelligence system:
- Prisma schema: add gated, priority, summary, chapters, linkTarget fields
- Session gate: state machine (gated → begin_session → ungated) with LLM-powered
tool selection based on prompt index
- Tag matcher: intelligent prompt-to-tool matching with project/server/action tags
- LLM selector: tiered provider selection (fast for gating, heavy for complex tasks)
- Link resolver: cross-project MCP resource references (project/server:uri format)
- Prompt summary service: LLM-generated summaries and chapter extraction
- System project bootstrap: ensures default project exists on startup
- Structural link health checks: enrichWithLinkStatus on prompt GET endpoints
- CLI: create prompt --priority/--link, create project --gated/--no-gated,
describe project shows prompts section, get prompts shows PRI/LINK/STATUS
- Apply/edit: priority, linkTarget, gated fields supported
- Shell completions: fish updated with new flags
- 1,253 tests passing across all packages

Adds tier-based LLM routing so fast local models (vLLM, Ollama) handle
structured tasks while cloud models (Gemini, Anthropic) are reserved for
heavy reasoning. Single-provider configs continue to work via fallback.
- Tier type + ProviderRegistry with assignTier/getProvider/fallback chain
- Multi-provider config format: { providers: [{ name, type, tier, ... }] }
- NamedProvider wrapper for multiple instances of same provider type
- Setup wizard: Simple (legacy) / Advanced (fast+heavy tiers) modes
- Status display: tiered view with /llm/providers endpoint
- Call sites use getProvider('fast') instead of getActive()
- Full backward compatibility with existing single-provider configs

- ACP session pool with per-model subprocesses and 8h idle eviction
- Per-project LLM config: local override → mcpd recommendation → global default
- Model override support in ResponsePaginator
- /llm/models endpoint + available models in mcpctl status
- Remove --llm-provider/--llm-model from create project (use edit/apply)
- 8 new smart pagination integration tests (e2e flow)
- 260 mcplocal tests, 330 CLI tests passing

Status command now queries mcplocal's /llm/health endpoint instead of
spawning the gemini binary. This uses the persistent ACP connection
(fast) and works for any configured provider, not just gemini-cli.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace per-call gemini CLI spawning (~10s cold start each time) with
persistent ACP (Agent Client Protocol) subprocess. First call absorbs
the cold start, subsequent calls are near-instant over JSON-RPC stdio.
- Add AcpClient: manages persistent gemini --experimental-acp subprocess
with lazy init, auto-restart on crash/timeout, NDJSON framing
- Add GeminiAcpProvider: LlmProvider wrapper with serial queue for
concurrent calls, same interface as GeminiCliProvider
- Add dispose() to LlmProvider interface + disposeAll() to registry
- Wire provider disposal into mcplocal shutdown handler
- Add status command spinner with progressive output and color-coded
LLM health check results (green checkmark/red cross)
- 25 new tests (17 ACP client + 8 provider)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Setup wizard auto-detects gemini binary via `which`, saves full path
so systemd service can find it without user PATH
- `mcpctl status` tests LLM provider health (gemini: quick prompt test,
ollama: health check, API providers: key stored confirmation)
- Shows error details inline: "gemini-cli / gemini-2.5-flash (not authenticated)"
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Wait for stdout.write callback before process.exit in STDIO transport
to prevent truncation of large responses (e.g. grafana tools/list)
- Handle MCP notification methods (notifications/initialized, etc.) in
router instead of returning "Method not found" error
- Use -p shorthand in config claude output

The bridge now parses SSE text/event-stream responses (extracting data:
lines) in addition to plain JSON. Also sends correct Accept header
per MCP streamable HTTP spec. Added tests for SSE handling and
command option parsing (-p/--project).

The mcp subcommand now has its own -p/--project option with
passThroughOptions(), so `mcpctl mcp --project NAME` works when Claude
spawns the process. Updated config claude to generate
args: ['mcp', '--project', project] and added Commander-level tests.

- New `mcpctl mcp -p PROJECT` command: STDIO-to-StreamableHTTP bridge
that reads JSON-RPC from stdin and forwards to mcplocal project endpoint
- Rework `config claude` to write mcpctl mcp entry instead of fetching
server configs from API (no secrets in .mcp.json)
- Keep `config claude-generate` as backward-compat alias
- Fix discovery.ts auth token not being forwarded to mcpd (RBAC bypass)
- Update fish/bash completions for new commands
- 10 new MCP bridge tests, updated claude tests, fixed project-discovery test

- Replace admin role with granular roles: view, create, delete, edit, run
- Two binding types: resource bindings (role+resource+optional name) and
operation bindings (role:run + action like backup, logs, impersonate)
- Name-scoped resource bindings for per-instance access control
- Remove role from project members (all permissions via RBAC)
- Add users, groups, RBAC CRUD endpoints and CLI commands
- describe user/group shows all RBAC access (direct + inherited)
- create rbac supports --subject, --binding, --operation flags
- Backup/restore handles users, groups, RBAC definitions
- mcplocal project-based MCP endpoint discovery
- Full test coverage for all new functionality

STDIO MCP servers read from stdin and exit on EOF. Docker containers close
stdin by default, causing all STDIO servers to crash immediately. Added
OpenStdin: true to container creation.
Describe instance now resolves server names (like logs command), preferring
RUNNING instances. Added 7 new describe tests covering server name resolution,
healthcheck display, events section, and template detail.

- `mcpctl logs <server-name>` resolves to first RUNNING instance
- `mcpctl logs <server-name> -i <N>` selects specific replica
- Shows "instance N/M" hint when server has multiple replicas
- Added 5 proper tests: server name resolution, RUNNING preference,
replica selection, out-of-range error, no instances error
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Instance list now shows server NAME instead of cryptic server ID
- Include server relation in findAll query (Prisma include)
- Logs command accepts server name, server ID, or instance ID
(resolves server name → first RUNNING instance)

- Add global error handler: clean messages instead of stack traces
- Add --force flag to create server/secret/project: updates on 409 conflict
- Strip null values and template-only fields from --from-template payload
- Add tests: 409 handling, --force update, null-stripping from templates

Replace the confused Profile abstraction with a dedicated Secret resource
following Kubernetes conventions. Servers now have env entries with inline
values or secretRef references. Env vars are resolved and passed to
containers at startup (fixes existing gap).
- Add Secret CRUD (model, repo, service, routes, CLI commands)
- Server env: {name, value} or {name, valueFrom: {secretRef: {name, key}}}
- Add env-resolver utility shared by instance startup and config generation
- Remove all profile-related code (models, services, routes, CLI, tests)
- Update backup/restore for secrets instead of profiles
- describe secret masks values by default, --show-values to reveal
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- `create server/profile/project` with all CLI flags (kubectl parity)
- `edit server/profile/project` opens $EDITOR for in-flight editing
- `get -o yaml/json` now outputs apply-compatible format (strips internal fields, wraps in resource key)
- `describe` shows visually clean sectioned output with aligned columns
- Extract shared utilities (resolveResource, resolveNameOrId, stripInternalFields)
- Instances are immutable (no create/edit, like pods)
- Full test coverage for create, edit, and updated describe/get

Server = Deployment (defines what to run + desired replicas)
Instance = Pod (ephemeral, auto-created by reconciliation)
Backend:
- Add replicas field to McpServer schema
- Add reconcile() to InstanceService (scales instances to match replicas)
- Remove manual start/stop/restart - instances are auto-managed
- Cascade: deleting server stops all containers then cascades DB
- Server create/update auto-triggers reconciliation
CLI:
- Add top-level delete command (servers, instances, profiles, projects)
- Add top-level logs command
- Remove instance compound command (use get/delete/logs instead)
- Clean up project command (list/show/delete → top-level get/describe/delete)
- Enhance describe for instances with container inspect info
- Add replicas to apply command's ServerSpec
