Only removing a connection notes it on a kept tool. A config save through
update_tool or update_tool_config carries the stored note and ignores the
client's copy, so it can neither fake nor clear it; creating a tool, an
MCP server save and an agent import start without one. The note is now
written even for a connection with no catalog key, and a kept tool its
owner gave credentials of its own since runs again.
A member-mode tool runs on each caller's own account, so the owner's
account no longer marks it stopped: it is active with the note
per_user_account, and only an admin turning its service off stops it.
connection_removed now needs the note remove_connection leaves on a kept
tool, so a tool that never had a connection (a tokenless ntfy) runs.
Whom to ask is contact_role resource_owner; contact names them only when
the reader can see the resource or they own the holder. connection carries
its id only with can_reconnect and the account's own name only for its
owner. Run state and audience are best effort (a failure logs and leaves
them out of the read), resolve answers are cached for the rest of a read,
and a workflow read names node resources by the run state's own names.
resource_states now carries, for a running tool, its credential mode when
it has a connection (after any mode an admin forces), whose account an
owner-mode connection acts as, and the write actions it takes on
credentials its owner stored, which API, widget and public-link users can
run only from the agent's API write allowlist. The service of a connected
tool is named whether it runs or not. Still only for people who may edit
the agent or workflow.
The agent and workflow reads now return resource_states to people who may
edit them: every attached tool, source and prompt (and workflow node tool
and source) with active or stopped and the reason: deleted,
owner_lost_access, the sponsor reasons, connection_needs_reconnect,
connection_removed or connector_disabled. Each entry names the sponsor,
someone other than the reader who can fix it, the service for a connection
reason, and whether the reader may take it over or reconnect it. When
something can be taken over, sponsor_audience says who it would reach.
The state comes from the checks the run itself uses (ref_access,
resolve_holder_tool and the tool's connection as the run resolves it), so
the page and the run can't disagree. A run that leaves a resource out logs
resource_stopped with the holder, type, id and reason.
The workflow read gives sponsor details, run state and node resource names
only to people who may edit it, and names only resources the workflow runs,
someone sponsored, or the reader can see. Owner saves and new workflows
now refuse node tools and sources the owner can't use, like editor saves.
The owner sets a webhook up and its URL is a secret, and a webhook run
already refuses every action that needs approval, so holding it to the
API write allowlist only broke the owner's own automations. Webhook runs
no longer count as external callers; schedules keep their caller rules.
The allowlist copy no longer names webhooks.
Every API tool counted as holding the owner's credentials, so outside
callers were refused any write on one even when it sends nothing the
owner stored. Now an action counts only when its headers or query
parameters carry a saved value (sealed or legacy plaintext) or the tool
stores credentials; the allowlist lists just those writes.
API-key, widget and public-link callers were held to the write allowlist
only on connected accounts, so they could still write through an API
tool or a signed-in MCP server that carries the owner's credentials. Any
write on credentials the caller doesn't hold is now refused unless the
owner allowlisted it, and a scheduled run for such a caller counts as not
holding any. The tool list names these writes per tool, so the allowlist
can offer them, and its copy now names every route it covers.
Member-mode resolution ranked accounts by last_used_at first, so a
connection added by Connect to continue (never used) lost to any older
used account. Accounts now rank by the later of last use and creation.
The read fallback matched read verbs as substrings, so update_spreadsheet,
set_budget and enlist_member ran as reads with no approval. Names are now
split into words, and any write verb makes the action a write.
Removing a connection with its tools now also deletes those tools' sharing
switches in the same transaction, as deleting a tool on its own does.
Team grants and chat preferences were already removed with the tools.
At run time a tool now refuses a connection whose connector does not list
the tool's type (a Telegram bot token never reaches an ntfy or MCP tool),
and an MCP tool refuses a connection when no server is known for it,
instead of sending the key without checking. Legacy MCP rows still find
their server from the stored provider value.
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.
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 Linear connector now syncs as well as giving agents its tools, from
one connection. Linear's MCP server is its own OAuth issuer, so its
tokens are read through the same MCP tools the agents use (list_issues,
get_issue, list_comments, list_documents) rather than Linear's GraphQL
API, and no OAuth app has to be registered.
A source picks teams and projects, with comments (on by default) and the
projects' documents. Each issue becomes one document with its state,
assignee, priority, labels, description and comments, filed under its
team and citing its Linear URL. Each sync reads up to 500 issues and 100
documents again. /api/connections/<id>/linear lists the teams and
projects to pick from. Sources sync on their schedule with the owner's
connection, and pause when the sign-in needs reconnecting.
run_connection_session opens one MCP session signed in with an MCP OAuth
connection's stored tokens and runs a batch of tool calls in it, so a
sync makes hundreds of calls over one sign-in. The tokens only go to the
server the connection signed in to. A sign-in that expired and cannot be
renewed flags the connection for reconnecting, which pauses its sources;
network trouble and rate limits are reported as worth retrying.
A GitHub connection's MCP tool can now point at GitHub's full endpoint
(/mcp/) instead of the read-only one when its owner opts in, at setup
(allow_writes) or later (PUT /api/connections/<id>/writes), which re-reads
the actions and keeps the choices for those on both endpoints. Actions from
the write endpoint are writes unless GitHub marks them read-only, so they
default to asking first.
Admins can forbid it per connector (allow_writes in Admin > Connectors,
kept in app_metadata). Then the option is refused, a refresh goes back to
read-only, and at run time the tool only ever calls the read-only endpoint
and write calls are denied with a reason.
Connections get an account_name (migration 0039) that the owner sets with
PATCH /api/connections/<id>; the account label stays the account's
identity, so signing in again still finds it. When someone has more than
one account of a service, its tools are listed as "Telegram · <account>"
and the model sees each account's actions under the account's name
(telegram_send_message_alerts_bot) with the account in the description,
instead of _1 and _2. Actions shared by different services are named
after the service. Tools a user renamed keep their name.
The connect form shows field hints; Telegram's Default chat ID says what
it does and how to find a chat's id. In the drawer, a chat set on the
account shows as set there instead of as a choice.
A Telegram connection can now hold an optional default chat ID. When it
is set, both Telegram actions send there, the model is no longer asked
for a chat, and a chat it names anyway is ignored. In member mode each
member's own connection supplies their own chat. The same bot with a
different chat is a separate connection.
PUT /api/connections/<id>/tools/<tool_id>/parameters takes an action and
a map of parameter to value (always use it) or null (let the model
decide), checked against the action's schema; only the tool's owner can
call it. Connection tools now list each action's parameters and whether
they are fixed.
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.
GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN belongs to the server, but any user could ingest any
repository it can see, private ones included. It is now used only for
public repositories; the loader checks the repository's visibility first
and asks for a GitHub connection otherwise.
The loader also takes a token from the connection a source syncs from.
Merging a connection's keys into a plain repository URL no longer fails
on json.loads, manual Sync now passes the source's connection, and a
token GitHub rejects pauses the connection's sources for reconnect.
A custom MCP connection at a preset's address is reported and run as that
preset, but saving it checked the custom MCP switch. Turning custom servers
off now leaves a preset on a key alone, and turning the preset off stops it.
Linear, Jira & Confluence and Asana move to Projects & issues, Stripe to
Payments & business and Reddit to Search & web. An empty Knowledge page
offers Add knowledge and Connect a service.
- Sources (the collection) are called Knowledge: the settings page (now
/settings/knowledge; /settings/sources redirects), the composer and
agent pickers, Add knowledge, and "syncs into Knowledge" on connectors.
Citations keep "sources". All seven locales.
- Connector cards describe what they do ("Syncs into Knowledge", "Looks
things up", "Takes actions") and drop publisher labels ("Built in",
"Preset"). Filters read "Files & storage" and "Docs & wikis" so
"knowledge" means one thing.
- Custom tools are tools: "Add custom tool". The agent picker no longer
splits built-in tools into "Built-in" and "Default".
- Confluence is one card: syncing pages into Knowledge and the Jira &
Confluence MCP actions (part_of on the preset) share a page. The part
shows on its own when Confluence sync is not set up.
- The Connect card's payload carries connection_id for the caller's own
connection (never an owner's), so "Reconnect" in chat signs in again
right there instead of sending the user to Settings. The bar offers
Continue as soon as the connection works again, also after leaving and
coming back to the chat.
- The reconnect event carries source and tool counts, and the toast says
what stopped: "3 sources are paused", "so agents can use it again",
or both. Reconnect signs in again in place and the toast closes itself
once the connection works; MCP servers still reconnect from their
drawer.
- models.py: connector_policies.enabled is the nullable column; the
earlier edit had loosened user_custom_models.enabled instead. A test
pins both against their migrations.
- Admin > Connectors saves one change at a time, so an older snapshot
can no longer overwrite a newer one.
- In member mode, a member with several connected accounts of the same
service uses the one they used (or connected) most recently, not the
oldest.
A connector's enabled switch is now optional: unset means on when the
connector has the server settings it needs, so Google Drive, SharePoint
and Confluence start off until their OAuth settings are present, and an
admin's explicit switch always wins. Changing only the sharing mode no
longer switches a connector on.
Members only see connectors they can use. The catalog, Add Source tiles
and Add Tool leave out anything turned off or still needing setup, except
a connector a member already has a connection to, which stays listed as
turned off so it can be managed or removed.
- An MCP connection's tokens only go to its own server, and a
connection_id can no longer come from a client: the MCP test/save
routes drop it and the tool executor uses only the resolved one.
- API-key connections are reused only when they hold the same
credentials. Two keys that share a hint or a label get separate
connections ("…abcd (2)"), at runtime and in the 0038 backfill.
- Reconnecting a connection whose secrets cannot be decrypted no longer
flags it from a second transaction while holding its row lock.
- Connection setup validates the sync request before claiming its
Idempotency-Key, so a corrected retry is queued.
- A request that names no connection resolves to none without opening
a database connection; fixes two tests that reached a real database.
Scheduled syncs checked the connection's status but not the admin
policy, so a disabled connector kept pulling data. Connector sources now
return "disabled" and S3/Reddit syncs get no credentials until the
connector is turned back on.
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.
connector_sessions already holds one row per signed-in account or MCP
server. Migration 0038 names each row (connector_key, auth_kind,
display_name, account_label) and lets sources and tools point at the
row they use through connection_id, backfilling the links it can prove.
docsgpt/connectors/catalog.py declares every service DocsGPT connects
to, with the server settings it needs and what a connection provides.
New endpoints: GET /api/connectors/catalog, GET /api/connections,
GET /api/connections/<id> and POST /api/connections/<id>/disconnect.
/api/available_tools now groups tools into built_in, service and
custom, and source listings carry connectionId.
