# Connection Info modal: sticky header while body scrolls (#1754) — proof screenshots Same fix as #1698, applied to the **Connection Info** modal. With a real server whose `instructions` are long (e.g. the everything server in a typical config), the connection details overflow the viewport; before the fix the whole modal scrolled and the header left the view. Captured from the `ConnectionInfoModal` Storybook story (`WithOAuth`, ~620px viewport) via Playwright. ![Connection Info scrolled to the top — header pinned, Server Implementation visible](ci-1754-header-pinned-top.png) Top of scroll: the **Connection Info** header (title + close) sits above the first section. ![Connection Info scrolled down — same header still pinned while the body shows Server Instructions / OAuth Details](ci-1754-header-pinned-scrolled.png) Scrolled down (now showing Server Instructions → OAuth Details): the **same header stays pinned**. Measured in-page: the body scroll container is `scrollHeight` 1172 × `clientHeight` 558 (scrolls internally), header `position: sticky` flush to the dialog top. --- # Server/Client Settings modal: sticky header while body scrolls (#1698) — proof screenshots Expanding enough accordion sections grew the Server Settings modal past the viewport, scrolling the whole modal and taking the header (title + close) out of view. The fix moves the header into a real `Modal.Header` (sticky by design) and adds `scrollAreaComponent={ScrollArea.Autosize}` so only `Modal.Body` scrolls. Captured from the `ServerSettingsModal` Storybook story (`FullyConfigured`, all sections expanded, ~680px viewport) via Playwright. ![Modal scrolled to the top — header pinned, Options section visible](ssm-1698-header-pinned-top.png) At the top of the scroll: the **Server Settings** header (collapse-all toggle, title, close) sits above the first section. ![Modal scrolled down — same header still pinned while the body shows Custom Headers / Request Metadata](ssm-1698-header-pinned-scrolled.png) Scrolled down through the body (now showing Advertised Extensions → Custom Headers → Request Metadata): the **exact same header stays pinned** at the top. Measured in-page: the body scroll container is `scrollHeight` 2253 × `clientHeight` 612 (scrolls internally), and the header is `position: sticky` with its top flush to the dialog top after scrolling. --- # TUI array-of-enum renders as a select on `items.enum` alone (#1751) — proof screenshots Follow-up to #1691. The TUI `schemaToForm` array-of-enum branch was nested under `if (property.enum)`, so a standard array-of-enums schema — `{ type: "array", items: { enum, enumNames } }` with **no** top-level `enum` — fell through to a plain text input. The fix keys the array case on `items.enum` alone (matching the web `SchemaForm`). Captured non-interactively (a standalone render of the real `ink-form` built by the real `schemaToForm`). The demo schema has a `Sizes` array-of-enum field (`enum: [s,m,l]` + `enumNames: [Small, Medium, Large]`, `default: "m"`, **no** top-level `enum`) and a `Priority` single-enum control (has a top-level `enum`). ![Before #1751 — the array-of-enum field is a plain text input showing the raw default "m"](tui-1751-before-string.png) **Before the fix** (reproducing the old nesting): `Sizes` is a plain **text field** showing the raw default **`m`** — `enumNames` never applies because it isn't a select at all. ![With the #1751 fix — the array-of-enum field is a select resolving "m" to its title "Medium"](tui-1751-after-select.png) **With the fix:** `Sizes` is now a **select**; the default `m` resolves to its title **`Medium`**. The `Priority` control (which has a top-level `enum`) shows `High` in both — unchanged, confirming the reorder only affects the intended `items.enum`-only case. --- # TUI enum forms honor `enumNames` (#1691) — proof screenshots The TUI tool-test form (`schemaToForm` → `ink-form`) rendered against a legacy titled enum: `enum: [pet-1 … pet-5]` paired with the non-standard `enumNames: [Cats … Reptiles]`, `default: "pet-1"`. Captured non-interactively (a standalone render of the real `ink-form` built by the real `schemaToForm`; the Ink TUI can't take live keystrokes in a headless pty). ![TUI form with the #1691 fix — the required field resolves pet-1 to its title "Cats"](tui-enumnames-after-cats.png) **With the fix:** the required **Favorite Pet** field resolves the default `pet-1` to its human title **"Cats"**. The submitted value stays the raw `pet-1` — only the display label changes. (`Plain Enum`, which has no `enumNames`, is unaffected.) ![The same form before #1691 — the field shows the raw wire value "pet-1"](tui-enumnames-before-raw.png) **Before the fix** (same schema with `enumNames` stripped, reproducing the old behavior): the field shows the opaque wire value **"pet-1"** with no indication it means "Cats". Ground-truth options from the real `schemaToForm` confirm the label↔value pairing and the length-guarded fallbacks: `pet` → `Cats=>pet-1 … Reptiles=>pet-5`; array-of-enum `sizes` → `Small=>s | Medium=>m | Large=>l`; a mismatched-length `enumNames` (2 names, 3 values) falls back to raw `a=>a | b=>b | c=>c`. The web side of this fix is covered by `SchemaForm.test.tsx`. --- # Server Settings OAuth field disambiguation under EMA (#1692) — proof screenshots The **Server Settings → OAuth Settings** fields, rendered from the `ServerSettingsForm` Storybook stories. Under enterprise-managed authorization (EMA) these fields hold the *resource authorization server* credentials (leg 3 — its registered client), **not** the app/IdP pair configured in Client Settings. The unqualified labels sat directly under a toggle naming the enterprise IdP, making it easy to paste the wrong pair. See #1692. ![OAuth Settings with EMA off — plain Client ID / Client Secret](ema-oauth-fields-plain.png) Enterprise-managed authorization **off** (the common case): the fields keep the plain **Client ID** / **Client Secret** labels. The **Scopes** field now documents its delimiter — _"Space-separated OAuth scopes (RFC 6749). Do not use commas — a comma-separated entry is sent as one invalid token and rejected by the authorization server."_ — with a `mcp tools:read env:read` placeholder. ![OAuth Settings with EMA on — Resource AS Client ID / Secret](ema-oauth-fields-resource-as.png) Enterprise-managed authorization **on**: the same two fields relabel to **Resource AS Client ID** / **Resource AS Client Secret**, each gaining a description that names the resource authorization server (its registered client, EMA leg 3) and points the app client id/secret back to Client Settings. ![Client Settings modal — IdP Client ID / IdP Client Secret](ema-client-settings-idp-fields.png) The reciprocal side in the **Client Settings** modal (Enterprise-Managed Authorization section). Its credential fields are relabeled **IdP Client ID** / **IdP Client Secret** — parallel to Server Settings' `Resource AS …` — and each description now points the *other* way: these are the enterprise IdP pair (EMA legs 1–2), **not** the per-server resource authorization server credentials, which go in Server Settings → OAuth Settings. Together the two modals close the loop: each names its pair and where the other lives. --- # Connection Info extensions + `io.modelcontextprotocol/ui` (#1740) — proof screenshots End-to-end verification of the Phase 3 Connection Info UI against the legacy `advertised-extensions-http.json` test server (port 3220), driven in a real browser through the web client's remote-proxy transport. ![Connection Info on a legacy connection — Advertised Extensions shows tasks + ui](advertised-ext-conninfo-legacy.png) The Connection Info modal on a **legacy** connection (Era: **LEGACY**, no Discovery section). The new **Server Extensions / Advertised Extensions** two-column section renders — proving it is era-transparent (before #1740, extensions only appeared in the modern-only Discovery section). **Advertised Extensions** shows `io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks, io.modelcontextprotocol/ui`, confirming the Inspector now advertises the MCP Apps `ui` extension. (Server Extensions is `—` because this test server advertises none server-side.) ![Connection Info after toggling Tasks off — Advertised Extensions shows only ui](advertised-ext-conninfo-tasksoff.png) After unchecking **Tasks** in Server Settings → Advertised Extensions (Phase 2) and reconnecting, the **Advertised Extensions** column shows only `io.modelcontextprotocol/ui` — the display reflects the per-server override live, and the `ui` advertisement persists (it is a separate registry entry). > Note: the Connection Info modal is populated from the connection's > `initializeResult`, which requires `serverInfo`. On the modern test server used > here `serverInfo` wasn't populated, so the modal stays closed on that modern > connection — a pre-existing connection-layer behavior, independent of this PR > (which only changes content *inside* the modal). The era-transparent > **Server Extensions** path is covered by unit tests > (`ConnectionInfoContent.test.tsx` renders legacy server extensions with no > `discoverResult`). --- # Advertised-extensions toggle (#1739) — proof screenshots End-to-end verification of the advertised-extensions debugging knob against a real legacy HTTP test server (`test-servers/configs/advertised-extensions-http.json` on port 3220), driven in a real browser through the web client's remote-proxy transport. The server registers `echo` (always) and `get_weather` **gated on the `io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks` extension** (`extensionGatedTools`): the tool is enabled on `notifications/initialized` only when the connected client declared that extension. ![Advertised Extensions — Tasks advertised (default)](advertised-ext-settings-tasks-on.png) **Server Settings → Advertised Extensions** (the new section). With no override, **Tasks (io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks)** is checked — the registry default — so the Inspector advertises it in its client capabilities. ![Tools with Tasks advertised](advertised-ext-tools-tasks-on.png) Connected with Tasks advertised. The server sees the declared extension on `initialized` and enables the gated tool, so `tools/list` returns **both `echo` and `get_weather`**. ![Advertised Extensions — Tasks unchecked](advertised-ext-settings-tasks-off.png) Unchecking **Tasks** writes the per-server `advertisedExtensions` override. The change takes effect on the next connect (as the section note says). ![Tools with Tasks not advertised](advertised-ext-tools-tasks-off.png) After reconnecting, the client advertises no extensions, so the server never enables the gated tool — `tools/list` now returns **only `echo`**. The server's tool registration demonstrably changed based on what the client advertised, exactly the acceptance criterion for #1739. --- # x-mcp-header Tools tooling (#1632) — proof screenshots End-to-end verification of the SEP-2243 `x-mcp-header` Tools tooling against a real modern (2026-07-28) HTTP test server (`test-servers/configs/xmcpheader-modern-http.json` on port 3120), driven in a real browser through the web client's remote-proxy transport. ![Excluded tools in the sidebar](xmcpheader-excluded-tools.png) Connected with **Protocol Era = Modern**. `invalid_header_tool` is dropped from `tools/list` by the SDK (its `x-mcp-header` annotation is invalid), so the Inspector re-lists the raw list and surfaces it struck-through under an **"Excluded (SEP-2243)"** divider — showing _why_ a tool vanished rather than silently omitting it. ![Exclusion reason on hover](xmcpheader-excluded-reason.png) Hovering the excluded tool shows the exact scan reason: the header name `"Bad Header"` contains a space, so it is not a valid RFC 9110 token. ![Mirrored request headers](xmcpheader-mirrored-headers.png) `get_weather`'s detail panel shows the **"Mirrored request headers (SEP-2243)"** section: its `city` argument mirrors to `Mcp-Param-City`, with the note that the SDK omits `Mcp-Param-*` on the browser transport. ![Unknown tool -32602](xmcpheader-unknown-tool.png) Calling a tool the server no longer recognizes rejects with **`-32602`** (SDK v2) instead of an `isError` result, and renders as an **"Unknown Tool"** error panel with a targeted hint (reproduced by swapping the sessionless server to one without `echo` while the cached list still showed it). ![Invalid params -32602](xmcpheader-invalid-params.png) `-32602` is the generic _Invalid params_ code, so a **known** tool rejected for bad arguments throws the same code as an unknown tool. The panel disambiguates from the message: a `-32602` that does not name an unknown tool renders under **"Invalid Parameters"** (with a schema hint) rather than "Unknown Tool". Triggered live via the `trigger_invalid_params` tool, which returns a real `-32602` JSON-RPC error whose message is not about a missing tool. --- # Tasks extension era fork (#1631) — proof screenshots End-to-end verification of the Tasks era fork against two real test servers (`test-servers/configs/tasks-modern-http.json` on port 3222 and `tasks-legacy-http.json` on 3223), driven in a real browser through the web client's remote-proxy transport. ## Modern era (2026-07-28, `io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks` extension) ![Modern connected, Tasks tab present](tasks-modern-connected.png) Connected with **Protocol Era = Modern** (`MCP 2026-07-28`). The **Tasks** tab appears in the monitoring sidebar because the `io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks` extension was negotiated (it is empty until a task runs). ![Modern task completed](tasks-modern-completed.png) Connected with **Protocol Era = Modern** (`MCP 2026-07-28`). The **Tasks** tab is gated on the negotiated `io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks` extension (not `capabilities.tasks`). Running `modern_task` with **Run as task** on issues a `tools/call` that returns a `CreateTaskResult` (`resultType: "task"`), then polls **`tasks/get`** (no `tasks/list`); the completed task **inlines its result** (no blocking `tasks/result`) — shown both in the Results panel and the Tasks card. ![Modern input_required → tasks/update](tasks-modern-input-required.png) `modern_input_task` moves to **`input_required`**: the `tasks/get` response's `inputRequests` map (visible in the task's Full Task Object) carries an embedded `elicitation/create`, surfaced through the same pending-request modal the MRTR path uses — note the accurate wording _"your answer is submitted via a tasks/update request (SEP-2663), not a retry"_. Answering it sends **`tasks/update`** with the `inputResponses`, and the next poll completes the task: ![Modern input task completed](tasks-modern-input-completed.png) ## Legacy era (2025-11-25, contrast — unchanged) ![Legacy run-as-task](tasks-legacy-run-as-task.png) Connected with **Protocol Era = Legacy**. The Tasks tab is gated on `capabilities.tasks`; `simple_task` is `taskSupport: "required"` so **Run as task** is forced on. The legacy flow uses `tasks/list` to populate the list, `tasks/get` to poll, and the blocking **`tasks/result`** to fetch the payload (`{ "message": "Task completed: no message", "taskId": … }`). Note the legacy-only **Logs** tab (this server advertises `logging`), absent from the modern monitor set. ## Notes - SDK v2 removed all tasks support **and** era-gates the `tasks/*` spec methods out of the 2026-07-28 era on **both** the client (outbound) and server (inbound), and its codec rejects a `resultType: "task"` result outright. So the Inspector drives the extension itself: the task-creation frame is rewritten at the transport into a `CallToolResult` carrying the handle (the true `resultType: "task"` frame is still logged to the Protocol/Network tabs), and `tasks/get` / `tasks/update` / `tasks/cancel` ride a raw-wire request channel that carries the full modern envelope and is consumed by the transport before the SDK Client sees it. The test server serves `tasks/*` from an Express interceptor ahead of the SDK handler (the SDK's modern leg would answer them `-32601`). - On modern, task creation is **server-directed** (SEP-2663): the client declares the extension once and any tool may return a task, so the Tools screen offers **Run as task** for every tool on a modern connection (rather than gating on the legacy per-tool `taskSupport`).
