After removing a Linear connection, connecting again could skip signing in
and save Linear as an unconnected custom tool: a client cached before the
removal still held the old tokens, and a late token write re-created a
connection for them. A token write for a named connection no longer creates
one, removing or disconnecting a connection drops its cached clients, and a
sign-in server is never saved without its connection.
The MCP SDK knows a token's expiry only when it obtained the token in the
same process. A worker or a restarted API loading tokens from the
connection sent an expired one, got a 401 and asked the owner to sign in
again. The expiry is now saved with the tokens and handed back to the SDK,
which then renews the token with its refresh token first; a token saved
before expiries were kept is renewed once. A sign-in that cannot be
renewed raises MCPReauthorizationRequired.
The cache key held the first ten characters of a bearer token or API key.
Every fine-grained GitHub token starts with github_pat_, so two users of
the same server shared one cached client, and with it the first user's
token, for up to five minutes.
With client_secret_basic the MCP SDK sets the Basic header and still sends
client_id in the body; Linear refuses that as two authentication methods.
Token and refresh requests now drop the body client_id when the Basic
header is set, as RFC 6749 describes.
mcp 2.x reads code, state and the RFC 9207 iss off the callback handler's
result; the handler still returned a (code, state) tuple, so every MCP
sign-in failed after the user approved it. The callback route now keeps the
issuer too, since servers that advertise it (Linear) refuse a sign-in
without it.
A page opened on a plain-HTTP address registered its own origin as the
callback, which servers such as Linear refuse. MCP_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI now
wins when set; the page's value is the fallback.
Linear and Sentry publish https://host/mcp as their protected resource.
DocsGPTOAuth gave the MCP SDK only the server's origin, so the SDK's
resource check (RFC 8707) failed before sign-in with "Protected resource
https://mcp.linear.app/mcp does not match expected
https://mcp.linear.app". The provider now gets the full MCP URL; servers
that publish their origin still pass, and tokens stay keyed by origin.
Migration 0038 moves every stored secret (OAuth tokens, MCP OAuth
tokens and client registrations, API keys) into the connection's
encrypted envelope, links API-key tools to one connection per distinct
credential, allows several accounts per provider, and adds
credential_mode to sources and tools. OAuth MCP tools keep resolving
each member's own token, as they did before.
docsgpt.connectors.service is now the only reader of OAuth tokens:
get_valid_token_info refreshes under a row lock and persists rotated
refresh tokens, and a revoked grant flags the connection, pauses its
sources and notifies the owner. Loaders build from a connection
(BaseConnectorLoader.from_connection), so scheduled sync covers Drive,
SharePoint and Confluence sources with no browser. S3 and Reddit keys
stay on the connection instead of in remote_data.
New endpoints: POST /api/connections, /setup, /reconnect,
/picker-token, /claim, DELETE /api/connections/<id>, per-action
permissions and MCP refresh-tools. Upload, file listing, sync and
validate-session take a connection_id; session tokens keep working for
this release. The tool executor reads credentials from the resolved
connection (owner or member mode) and pauses on a Connect card when a
connection needs signing in. docsgpt connectors reencrypt rewrites
stored credentials after a key rotation.
About 85 call sites read a setting as getattr(settings, "NAME", fallback),
each carrying its own copy of the default. Every one of those names is a
field with a default on the model, so the fallback could never apply to
the real settings object; it only masked drift. Two had drifted:
- OPENAI_PROMPT_CACHE_KEY defaults to True on the model but the reader
fell back to False, and two test stubs relied on that.
- SharePoint's MICROSOFT_AUTHORITY fallback to
https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant> never fired, because the
attribute always exists (as None), so MSAL got authority=None. The
connector now derives the tenant authority when the setting is unset,
as its test always assumed.
Four places read EMBEDDINGS_KEY straight from os.environ, skipping the
"None"/"" normalisation the model applies; they read the setting now.
Test stubs that replaced a module's settings with a SimpleNamespace list
every setting the code under test reads.
The backend import package is now docsgpt, the name it will carry on PyPI;
application was far too generic to install into anyone's site-packages.
git mv plus a mechanical rewrite of every import, dotted string and path
reference: 734 Python files, the compose files, Dockerfile, workflows, docs,
setup scripts, devcontainer, k8s manifests, vscode config, pytest and coverage
config, .gitignore. Behaviour is unchanged.
Kept for one release:
- A top-level application package whose meta-path finder resolves
application.x.y to the already-imported docsgpt.x.y object, so old imports
and entry points (celery -A application.app.celery,
uvicorn application.asgi:asgi_app) keep working with a FutureWarning.
- Celery registers every application.* task name as an alias of its
docsgpt.* task on start-up, so messages queued by the previous release still
run. The redbeat key prefix moves to redbeat:docsgpt:v2: so schedule entries
the previous release wrote are left unread instead of firing twice.
The backend image builds from the repository root (docker build -f
docsgpt/Dockerfile .) so it can ship the alias package; a root .dockerignore
allow-lists docsgpt/ and application/ and keeps caches, local data, .env
files, the sample index files and the Dockerfile out. Compose and the image
workflows point at the new context.
