Copilot review round 2.
The exemption compares the WHATWG-canonicalized `URL.hostname`, so it covers
alternate spellings of three loopback *addresses* rather than three input
strings: `127.1`, `2130706433`, `0x7f.0.0.1`, `[0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1]` and a
root-anchored `127.0.0.1.` all pass. The behavior is right — the security
argument is about the address the request reaches, and all of these are the
loopback interface — but the comment described it as a literal-input match,
which it is not. It now states the contract, and six regression cases pin the
aliases alongside the existing near-miss cases.
This is also still an exact match for the SDK: `assertSecureTokenEndpoint` tests
`url.hostname` against the same three values after the same `new URL`
canonicalization, so an alias accepted here is one the SDK accepts too.
Separately, the smoke guide's fixture recipe left the shell in `clients/web`
after the build line, so the repo-root-relative paths on the next line resolved
under `clients/web` and the copy-pasted setup failed before the server started.
The build now runs in a subshell, and the block notes that the server announces
its URL on stderr and walks past a taken port.

`getCimdClientMetadataUrlError` rejected every non-HTTPS CIMD client metadata
URL with no loopback exemption, and the same check runs against `client.json`
on disk through `refineCimdMetadataUrl`, so it could not be worked around by
hand-editing the file either. Every test server in this repo speaks plain HTTP,
so CIMD could not be driven against any local fixture: #2242 shipped verified by
tests alone, and reproducing it by hand meant standing up a self-signed HTTPS
listener plus `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0` in the test server's environment.
Accept plain `http:` on the three literals the SDK itself exempts from its
token-endpoint TLS assertion — `localhost`, `127.0.0.1` and `[::1]`. That is
option 1 in #2305 and matches what the runtime already tolerated:
`core/auth/cimd.ts` notes that an already-stored `client_id` may be an `http://`
URL used by local dev/test metadata servers. Anything outside those three,
`localhost.` and `tenant.app.localhost` included, is still rejected — matching
the SDK literal for literal keeps the two allow-lists from disagreeing about one
URL.
The exemption is a literal set rather than `isLoopbackHost` because
`core/client/config-parse.ts` is browser-safe and `core/node/hostUrl.ts` imports
`node:net`.
The field error now names the exemption instead of saying only "must use
HTTPS", and the form's hint and description say the same, so a developer
pointing the field at a local fixture is told which spellings work.
Closes#2305

The Inspector always declared `refresh_token` in its OAuth client
metadata. The SDK's `determineScope()` then appends `offline_access`
whenever the authorization server advertises it and the client declares
that grant, and `startAuthorization()` appends `prompt=consent` whenever
`offline_access` is in scope. Against Microsoft Entra ID that forced
consent prompt routes a non-admin user into the admin-consent workflow
and fails with AADSTS90094 — even after a tenant admin has consented.
Adds a per-server "Request refresh token" setting (default on) that
drops the grant from the client metadata, breaking that chain at its
source. Persisted as `oauth.requestRefreshToken` and written only when
off, so entries that never touch it keep a byte-stable round-trip. Web
edits it in Server Settings → Authorization; the CLI and TUI pick it up
from the same per-server settings via `buildRunnerClientAuthOptions`.

Round 20, and almost all of it is fallout from round 19's two changes. Both
were right in direction and wrong in the detail, in the same way: each solved
its case by treating a broad thing as a proxy for a narrow one.
**The durability guard wrote newly entered secrets to disk in plaintext.**
Preserving legacy plaintext for a session-scoped store is correct — stripping
it moves the only durable copy into RAM. Using *the whole submitted entry* as
the proxy for "legacy" was not: it turned
`MCP_INSPECTOR_SECRET_STORE=memory` into "write every new secret to
`mcp.json` in the clear", while the footer for that very store says secrets
are written nowhere. A security regression introduced by a data-loss fix, and
the same overshoot in `client.json`.
Provenance decides now. A secret field is kept on disk only when it was
already there, unchanged, in the file being overwritten; a newly entered or
changed value is stripped and lives in the session store, which is exactly
what the footer promises. Where provenance cannot be established — an
unparseable prior file — the value is treated as new, because writing a
secret to disk on a guess is the failure that matters.
**The atomic claim was not as safe as its comments said.** Four ways:
- A crash between the claim and the copy left only
`secrets.json.migrating-<pid>`. The next run checked the canonical path,
found nothing, selected the keychain, and every stored credential vanished
with no warning. Orphans are now adopted at startup.
- Restoring used `rename`, which on POSIX **replaces** its destination — so
the restore path could overwrite a `secrets.json` a concurrent writer had
recreated, destroying the later successful write that claiming exists to
protect. The comment beside it asserted the opposite. `link` + `unlink` is
the no-clobber primitive this needed.
- Every claim failure was read as a lost race. `EACCES`/`EROFS` leave the
file exactly where it is, and returning quietly selected the keychain while
file-backed secrets sat there invisible. Only `ENOENT` is benign now.
- A failed cleanup left a plaintext-capable snapshot on disk with a silent
catch, while the app reported the keychain as the only store. It names the
path now.
**A third secret-entry surface had no disclosure at all.** `ServerConfigModal`
takes stdio `env` values, which are extracted into the store exactly as
Server Settings' are — and the footer's own doc comment claimed there were
only two such dialogs. It has the footer now, and every server write that can
carry a secret (config submit, both import flows) refreshes the descriptor,
not just the settings save.
Full `npm run ci` green, staged tree verified first.

Round 19 found real data loss rather than process noise, in two places.
**An unrelated settings edit destroyed the secret the durability gate had
just preserved.** The GET migration withholds its strip for a session-scoped
store, so `mcp.json` stays the durable copy — but the POST/PUT paths always
wrote the stripped shape. The GET also returns the rehydrated secret to the
settings form, which resends the whole object when the user changes anything,
so editing a timeout wrote the stripped entry, moved the only durable copy
into RAM, and lost it at exit. Every operation reported success. The client
config had the identical shape: the read-path guard was there, the write path
had none, and saving a CIMD URL did the same thing to the IdP client secret.
Both write paths now agree with their read paths: while the store cannot
outlive the process, the file stays the durable copy.
**The hand-off's delete is no longer a check-to-delete race.** Re-reading
immediately before `rm` caught writes that had already landed and was blind to
the one arriving between the check and the delete — destroying a *later*,
already-successful write, which is worse than the optimistic-write residual
and, unlike it, fixable without a lock. The file is claimed by an atomic
rename before anything reads it, so the migration operates on a snapshot
nobody else can reach and a writer that recreates `secrets.json` is simply
untouched.
Claiming introduced a failure mode the existing tests caught immediately: a
migration that aborts must not leave the secrets stranded at the staging path.
The snapshot is restored on any incomplete outcome, and when the live path has
been recreated in the meantime it is left in place with its location logged —
an operator-visible orphan is recoverable; clobbering someone's write is not.
Also:
- **`setMany`**, the write-side twin of `getMany`. `set` costs a whole-file
read-decrypt-encrypt-write-verify cycle per call, and the settings form
resends a server's full `env` map on any edit, so a 10-variable stdio server
spent ~30 scrypt derivations saving an unrelated change. One cycle now; the
keychain keeps its parallel individual writes.
- **A doc that contradicted its function.** `readOnDiskEncryption` still said
it "never decrypts, so it needs no passphrase" — round 12 made it
authenticate precisely because structure is not access.
Full `npm run ci` green, staged tree verified before running it.

The lock finding from this round is deliberately not addressed here — see
below.
- **My round-6 strict-read fix was inert in production.** `DeferredSecretStore`
is what `defaultSecretStore()` returns, and it did not forward `getStrict`
— so `secretStoreGetStrict` fell through to the tolerant `get` for every
real caller, and the strictness existed only in tests that injected a
concrete store. Forwarded now, along with `getMany`.
- **The same tolerant-read bug remained in both pre-existing migrations.**
I added `getStrict` for the new hand-off in round 6 and never applied it to
the mcp.json and client.json migrations, which have the identical
shape: decide from `get`, then write on `null`. A transient keychain read
failure therefore let an older plaintext value overwrite a newer keychain
one — and the disk copy was then stripped, so the newer value was gone. Both
use the strict read now; the throw is a `SecretStoreUnavailableError`, which
both call sites already handle as "abandon the migration, keep the file".
- **The permission check made a false statement on Windows.** `stat` returns
synthetic bits there, and interpreting them yields a confident falsehood
either way — "0666 — not owner-only" about a file the ACL may restrict, or
"owner-only" about one it does not. The ACL is the real answer and this does
not inspect it, so Windows now reports `unknown`.
- **Rehydration cost one full decryption per field.** `get` reads and decrypts
the entire file, and both rehydration paths ask field by field, serialized
behind the store's own queue. Measured on this machine, scrypt at N=16384 is
~23ms per derivation, so a 20-secret encrypted catalog spent **~450ms of
pure key derivation on every `GET /api/servers`** — a visible stall, not a
micro-optimization. Added an optional `getMany` seam: `FileSecretStore`
decrypts once per server, everything else falls back to the parallel
per-field `get` that already suited it. A test counts derivations directly:
1 for a three-field `getMany`, 3 for the three `get`s it replaced.
Also broadens a log message that still said "Keychain unavailable" for a
store that may not be a keychain.

Nine findings (six inline, three suppressed), all taken. Two were serious.
**The memory fallback made the migrations destructive.** Both migrations —
mcp.json in the remote server, client.json in `node-persistence` — lift a
plaintext secret off disk, write it to the secret store, and then delete it
from the file. That trade is safe only while the store is at least as
durable as the disk, which held by construction while `InMemorySecretStore`
was a test double. Making it a production fallback broke it: on an
unmounted container a plain `GET /api/servers` would have moved a user's
existing secrets into RAM and lost them at exit — destroying data on a
read.
`SecretStore` gains an optional `isDurable()`, absent meaning durable, and
both migrations withhold the disk delete when it answers false (the value
is still loaded, so the session behaves normally). The production fallback
is now a named `SessionSecretStore` rather than the bare
`InMemorySecretStore`, so the suite's many doubles keep standing in for a
*working keychain* — which is what they are there to be — and only code
that deliberately chooses RAM in production says so.
**Round 2's per-call descriptor never reached anyone.** Both web servers
resolved it once at startup and baked it into `initialConfig`, which
`/api/config` serves unchanged — so the freshness fix was inert for its
only consumer. The route now takes a `secretStorageResolver` and calls it
per request.
The lock needed three more fixes, and they compound:
- **Release removed whatever directory was at the path.** A holder whose
work outran the stale threshold would delete the *next* owner's lock,
letting a third writer into a section two processes believed they held.
Ownership is now stamped with a random token and release only removes a
lock still carrying it.
- **The timeout fell through to an unlocked write** — under contention,
the one moment another writer is provably active. It now throws
`SecretFileLockTimeoutError`, which `set` is allowed to do.
- **The first write of every process bypassed the lock**, because the
secrets directory does not exist yet and `mkdir` failed ENOENT. The
parent is created first. First writes are exactly when two processes are
most likely to start together.
Fixing the timeout exposed a fourth: with stale (10s) below timeout, a
waiter stole from a holder that was merely *slow* rather than dead —
reinstating the lost update. A holder now heartbeats its lock, so
"stale" means the holder is gone, and the timeout is what a live-but-slow
holder produces. Lock timings are injectable so the tests can exercise
contention, staleness, and timeout without spending the real intervals.
Also: the loose-permission state is carried into `SecretStorageInfo` as
`looseMode` and rendered as the caveat (it outranks the encryption caveat —
a file others can read is a live exposure, while "unencrypted" is a
property of a file only its owner can open), rather than living in a
startup log the browser cannot see; and `usableSecretStorage` validates
`pendingEncryption` and `looseMode` as the optional booleans/numbers they
are (`pendingEncryption: "false"` is truthy and would have printed advice
that is the opposite of the truth) and rejects file-only fields on a
keychain or memory descriptor.
Tests: both migrations against a session store with a durable control
alongside, so the guard is visibly the difference; `/api/config` serving a
changing resolver and falling back without one; lock ownership after a
steal, the timeout under a live holder, no-steal from a slow holder, and a
locked first write; `looseMode` through the descriptor, the caveat
ordering, and the tone; and five more rejected payload shapes. Full
`npm run ci` green — 5,704 tests under the coverage gate.

Closes#1950
Before this, a box with no reachable OS keychain — the published
container (no D-Bus session, #1848), Android/Termux (no platform binary,
#1905), a minimal Linux install without libsecret — could not persist an
OAuth client secret or a stdio `env:` value at all. `KeyringSecretStore`
degraded into a store that silently holds nothing: `get` returned null,
`delete` no-opped, and `set` hard-failed with a 503. That is the correct
failure behavior, but it left the documented, supported way to run the
Inspector with no secret persistence whatsoever.
Adds the two missing implementations and, more importantly, the policy
that picks one and the surfaces that say which was picked.
- `FileSecretStore` — one `0600` JSON document at
`~/.mcp-inspector/secrets.json`, encrypted with AES-256-GCM whenever
`MCP_INSPECTOR_SECRET_KEY` is set (scrypt, per-file random salt). The
whole map is encrypted as a unit rather than value-by-value so the
account names — `${serverId}:${field}` — are hidden too; a per-value
scheme would leave a readable index of which servers you hold a client
secret for. A file that can no longer be decrypted reads as empty
(matching the interface's read tolerance) but *refuses to be written*,
because replacing a file of still-valid secrets to satisfy an additive
request destroys data.
- `secret-store-selection.ts` — the policy.
`MCP_INSPECTOR_SECRET_STORE=keyring|file|memory` wins outright;
otherwise probe the keychain and, if unreachable, fall back loudly. The
fallback is `memory` in a container whose secrets directory is not on a
mount, and `file` otherwise — so mounting the volume the README already
recommends for the catalog flips the same run to durable storage with
no configuration, and an unmounted container gets the honest answer
rather than a file `--rm` will discard. Cached per process so the
banner, `/api/config`, and the store doing the writing cannot disagree.
- Automatic, but never silent. The downgrade prints at startup, rides
`GET /api/config`, and is named in a permanent 32px footer at the
bottom of both dialogs that accept a secret. A startup banner is seen
once by whoever started the process; a toast is seen once; a
dismissible banner is the thing a user dismisses before doing the work
it describes. The plaintext and memory cases render their caveat inline
in a warning tone — a warning you must hover to discover is not one.
- `SecretStoreUnavailableError` is now the base every store's `set`
throws, so the routes translate one condition into a 503 instead of
matching `KeychainUnavailableError` by name.
Docs: the container section of the root README gains a table of which
store you get and how to make secrets survive, plus the
`MCP_INSPECTOR_SECRET_KEY` upgrade/mismatch rules.
Tests: the existing interface contract block is extracted to
`secretStoreContract.ts` and run against all three implementations, so
none can drift on the availability contract. `FileSecretStore` is tested
against a real temp filesystem — mode, cross-instance round-trip, that
the ciphertext does not contain the plaintext, the read-modify-write
race, and every refusal path. Full `npm run ci` passes, per-file gate
included.

Adds two optional per-server fields — `oauth.authorizationUrl` and
`oauth.tokenUrl` — that override the endpoints authorization-server
metadata discovery resolved, so a server can be pointed at a development
or staging authorization server without changing what it advertises.
SDK v2 routes both endpoints through the discovered metadata document and
neither through OAuthClientProvider, so the override is applied by
wrapping the client's base fetch and patching the metadata document in
flight (core/auth/endpointOverrides.ts). Wrapping the base fetch — rather
than only the auth fetch — also covers the discovery the SDK runs from
inside the transport on the 401/refresh path.
The fields round-trip through mcp.json, the /api/servers routes, the
runner (CLI/TUI), and the Server Settings → Authorization panel, where a
value that is not an absolute http(s) URL is flagged inline; at runtime
such a value is dropped with a single warning rather than failing the
connection.

Real deployments gate IdP selection, prompt behavior, or audience on a query
parameter the OAuth/OIDC core specs never standardized (Keycloak's
`kc_idp_hint`, OIDC's `login_hint` / `prompt` / `acr_values`, Auth0's
`audience`), and none of them could be driven from the Inspector.
The Inspector never builds the authorize URL — the SDK's `auth()` does, and it
exposes no hook for extra parameters — so the merge happens at the one seam
that sees the finished URL: `BaseOAuthClientProvider.redirectToAuthorization`.
It lives in `core/`, so web, CLI, and TUI all inherit it.
- `core/auth/authorizationParams.ts`: the reserved-key list (`client_id`,
`code_challenge`, `code_challenge_method`, `redirect_uri`, `resource`,
`response_type`, `scope`, `state`), the key validator the form renders
inline, and the merge itself. Reserved keys are dropped with a warning
rather than silently overriding PKCE / the state binding / RFC 8707;
blank-key rows are skipped; the caller's URL is never mutated.
- Applied to the authorization request only — nothing wires it into the token
request.
- Persisted as `oauth.authorizationParams` (a string record) on the per-server
config beside `scopes`, edited as key/value rows in Server Settings ->
Authorization ("Additional authorization parameters"), with an inline error
per offending row plus a section-level warning.
- The enterprise-managed (EMA) leg redirects to a *different* authorization
server (the enterprise IdP), so it goes through the explicit
`redirectToExternalAuthorization` entry point, which skips the merge — a
`kc_idp_hint` or `audience` meant for the MCP server's AS must never be
appended to the IdP's authorize URL.

* refactor(web): update OAuth E2E tests to use new authentication method
- Replaced `runGuidedAuth` with `authenticate` in the InspectorClient OAuth end-to-end tests to support quick authentication with CIMD pre-registration.
- Updated comments to reflect the change in authentication method and its support for HTTP test metadata URLs.
- Ensured that the tests continue to validate the expected authorization URL after the change.
Additionally, imported `ensureCimdClientRegistration` in the OAuthManager to streamline client registration during the authentication process.
* Guided-auth removal, OAuth smoke testing, and TUI/CLI support
* Added CLI OAuth runner flags tests
* Added clarifying comment on port 0 binding
* README notes on TUI oauth callback port, prettier fixes for CLI tests
* CIMD validation uses inline like EMA IdP
* Fixed TUI test failures from merge
* test: bring 5 OAuth files over the 90 per-file coverage gate
The guided-auth-removal work added/touched several files that fell below
the repo's >=90 per-file coverage gate (npm run coverage). CI doesn't run
the gate (it's local-only), so validate + test:integration passed while
these gaps slipped through. Bring them all back over the line:
- core/auth/node/runner-oauth-callback.ts: test bad-URL/non-http-scheme
throws, no-port->80 default, and IPv6 hostname bracketing. Annotate the
provably-dead guards (empty host, out-of-range port, String(err)
fallback, pathname "/" fallback) -- all rejected by new URL() upstream --
with justified v8 ignore comments instead of lowering the gate.
- core/auth/cimd.ts: test the AS-doesn't-support-CIMD early return.
- core/react/useClientSettingsDraft.ts: test the functional-updater path,
the stale-onChange-after-close prev===null guard, and the
timer-fires-after-close value===null guard.
- ClientSettingsForm.tsx: test the CIMD checkbox toggle and CIMD URL clear.
- clients/tui/src/utils/oauthDisplay.ts: test static/dcr registration
kinds, the expired IdP session, and the configured-scope/empty-scope
branches of formatScopes.
npm run coverage now passes (exit 0) across web, cli, tui, launcher.

* fix(web): defer IdP issuer URL error to onBlur in Client Settings (#1544)
The Enterprise-Managed Authorization Issuer field validated its URL inline on
every render, so the 'Must be an http(s) URL' error nagged while the user was
still mid-typing (e.g. before 'https:/…' is complete).
Gate the issuer error display on an issuerTouched flag set onBlur; once
touched it tracks the value live, so the error clears as soon as a valid URL
is entered. The persist gate (canPersistClientSettingsDraft → validateClientSettings)
is unchanged and still validates independently, so an invalid issuer is never
written to the backend regardless of touched state.

* fix(web): reveal issuer error and block close on invalid issuer (#1544)
Extend the on-blur deferral so an invalid issuer can't be silently dropped on
modal close (the auto-save flush would otherwise discard it with no feedback).
ClientSettingsModal now intercepts its close (X / Esc / overlay): if the issuer
is invalid it reveals the field error (via the form's revealIssuerError prop,
overriding on-blur gating) and keeps the modal open instead of closing. The
user can fix the URL or clear the field — an empty issuer is valid to leave.
The block lives in the modal (unit-tested) rather than App, so App.tsx stays a
thin flush+close that only runs when the close is allowed; the persist gate is
unchanged. Reveal state resets via the modal's open/close remount key.

* fix(core): require a real host in isAbsoluteHttpUrl, not just an http(s) scheme (#1544)
The issuer validation used URL.canParse + an http(s) protocol check, which the
WHATWG parser accepts for bare/degenerate values that aren't actually usable
URLs — e.g. https://foo, https://example, https://. , https://.. all passed.
Tighten the shared rule (used by both the Zod config schema and the form's
inline validation): after parsing and the http(s) scheme check, require the
host to actually look like a host — localhost, an IPv6 literal, or a dotted
domain/IPv4 with at least two non-empty labels. Single-label, bare-dot, and
empty-label hosts are now rejected. Add core tests for the accepted
(dotted/IPv4/IPv6/localhost) and newly-rejected cases.
