Replace explicit property assignments with shorthand syntax when
property names match variable names (e.g., SERVER_PORT: SERVER_PORT
becomes just SERVER_PORT).
Simplifies the startup flow by consolidating browser opening
in the client script rather than the start script for prod.
We were duplicating a lot of logging, making it easy for
logs to go out of sync - this is a proposal to consolidate:
- server only logs info about itself
- client only logs info about itself
To reduce the number of places we print connection information
to the user.
Refactored startProdClient to match startDevClient's logging pattern,
ensuring consistent user feedback whether auto-open is enabled or disabled.
Also ensures that we log full information on how to open the browser
regardless of whether MCP_AUTO_OPEN_ENABLED=false.
Address PR feedback by restructuring getClientUrl to always include
MCP_PROXY_PORT parameter when using non-default port, regardless of
auth status. Also improved code clarity by using params.size check.
- Update client to read MCP_PROXY_PORT from URL parameters
- Update server to include port in displayed URL when non-default
- Update start scripts to pass SERVER_PORT to client
- Use DEFAULT_MCP_PROXY_LISTEN_PORT constant instead of magic numbers
This fixes the issue where the client couldn't connect to the proxy
when SERVER_PORT was set to a non-default value.
Checked for icon name changes by teaching Claude to search the lucide-react repo with:
`git log -i -E --grep '(rename|change)' 0.448.0^...0.523.0
..then searching for any of the found icons in the Inspector imports.
Per PR feedback from cliffhall:
- Changed PORT to SERVER_PORT in server/src/index.ts
- Changed PORT to CLIENT_PORT in client/bin/client.js
- Added parseInt() for CLIENT_PORT consistency
- Updated start.js to pass correct env var names
This improves clarity by using specific environment variables for
server and client ports instead of the generic PORT variable.
- Extract duplicated URL generation code into getClientUrl() helper function in start.js
- Replace all 127.0.0.1 references with localhost for consistency across codebase
- Update server to respect HOST environment variable for URL generation
- Remove 127.0.0.1 from default allowed origins in CORS configuration
- Update documentation to use localhost instead of 127.0.0.1

Complete the security hardening started in e8e9909 by also binding the client to localhost only.
Previously only the server was protected while the client remained exposed to the network,
allowing attackers to access the server through the client as a proxy.
Changes:
- Add HOST environment variable support to client (prod mode)
- Configure Vite dev server to bind to localhost by default
- Update browser auto-open URLs to use actual host instead of hardcoded 127.0.0.1
- Fix missing cancelled parameter in startProdClient function
