Main's access model (team editors and viewers, edit_credentials, owner-only
OAuth servers, per-user tool preferences, resource sponsors) now applies to
connection-backed tools and sources. Our migrations are renumbered to
0040_connections and 0041_connection_account_name, after main's
0038_resource_access_settings and 0039_resource_sponsors.
Where the two sides met: MCP tools save and load their connections as the
tool owner, editors may add a key (a new connection on the owner's account)
but never rewrite an existing connection's secret, fixed values stay
owner-only, and a member's own connection is used in member mode.
One GitHub connection feeds both a Knowledge source and an agent tool.
Users connect with a personal access token, checked against GitHub and
named after the account, or, when an admin registers a GitHub App
(GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET, GITHUB_APP_SLUG), with Sign in
with GitHub. App tokens expire after eight hours and are refreshed before
each sync or tool call; tokens with no expiry are never treated as expired.
The catalog gains an optional second sign-in method (oauth_settings,
exposed as sign_in_methods) without changing any other connector.
Sync lists the repositories the connection can read (the token's own, or
the App installations') and ingests one with the connection's token. The
tool is GitHub's read-only MCP server (api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/readonly):
setup discovers its actions and creates it bound to the connection, and
the executor sends the connection's token only to that server.
Six vendor-run MCP servers (Notion, Linear, Atlassian, Sentry, Asana,
Stripe) join the catalog as presets from docsgpt/connectors/presets/
mcp.yaml; existing connections to those servers show under them.
connector_policies lets an admin turn a connector off or force whose
account every share uses, and app_metadata's
connectors.allow_custom_mcp turns custom MCP servers off. Both are
enforced on the server: new connections, OAuth sign-ins, MCP test and
save, and the tools of a disabled connector stop resolving.
GET/PUT /api/admin/connectors reads and changes them.
A shared tool's owner picks owner or member credentials with
PUT /api/connections/tools/<id>/credential-mode, and a member running
the owner's account always confirms write actions.
Tool-call events and retrieved chunks name the connector they came
from (key and display name, never the account), and tool calls keep
those fields when the conversation is reloaded.
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.
The connector OAuth popup posted the session token to window.opener with
a '*' target origin, so any page that opened the popup received it. An
attacker with an account on a multi-user deployment could start a flow for
their own pending session, get a victim to finish the provider consent, and
receive a token backed by the victim's Drive/SharePoint/Confluence tokens.
- Post popup results only to allowed frontend origins: the callback origin,
OIDC_FRONTEND_URL, the new CONNECTOR_ALLOWED_ORIGINS, and localhost:5173
when the callback runs on a loopback host.
- Render the success page from the callback itself so the token never
appears in a URL; callback-status ignores session_token/user_email params.
- ConnectorAuth accepts messages only from the popup it opened, on the
callback origin reported by /api/connectors/auth.
- /api/connectors/disconnect requires auth and only deletes the caller's
session.
- /api/connectors/sync and /api/remote reject session tokens the caller
does not own.
Fixes#2766
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.
