edit_page_text reported "success" when asked to change formatting (e.g. remove
strikethrough): the markdown-strip fallback matched the bare text, the replace
preserved marks, and the tool returned success — so the agent believed it had
fixed something that never changed.
Two fixes, both in the shared @docmost/mcp DocmostClient so they reach BOTH the
standalone MCP server and the in-app AI chat (which loads @docmost/mcp):
- Verifiable result for every content mutator: mutatePageContent now computes a
`verify` change-report (text inserted/deleted, blocks changed, per-mark-type
delta, integrity/structure delta) via summarizeChange() and returns it on all
mutators (incl. replaceImage via mutateLiveContentUnlocked). diffDocs is
text-only, so the mark/structure delta is what surfaces formatting changes.
- edit_page_text hard-refuses formatting edits: applyTextEdits rejects an edit
whose find/replace differ only in markdown markers (via stripBalancedWrappers,
which strips balanced wrappers/links without trimming whitespace/emoji, so
plain-text edits like trailing-space trims, snake_case, math are NOT refused).
A fully-refused batch errors instead of silently succeeding.
Also updated the model-facing edit_page_text descriptions in BOTH tool layers
(packages/mcp/src/index.ts and ai-chat-tools.service.ts) to drop the misleading
"strip-and-retry tolerated" wording and point formatting changes to patch_node.
New unit tests: test/unit/diff-verify.test.mjs, test/unit/json-edit-refuse.test.mjs.
Locators (edit_page_text `find`, insert_node `anchorText`) are matched
against the document's plain text, so a model-supplied locator carrying
markdown wrappers (**bold**, *italic*, `code`, [t](url)) or trailing emoji
never matched and the edit/insert failed. Add stripInlineMarkdown() and a
fallback: try the locator verbatim first (exact match wins, so literal
asterisks/underscores still work), and only on zero matches retry with a
markdown-stripped form. The ambiguity guard runs on the post-fallback count,
and `replace` / inserted node content are never stripped, so no formatting is
lost. Failed edits gain an atom-aware reason plus a bounded "closest block
text" hint; the insert_node "anchor not found" error now points at plain-text
anchors / anchorNodeId.
New packages/mcp/src/lib/text-normalize.ts (+ unit tests); wired into
json-edit.ts and node-ops.ts; tool descriptions updated. Tests: 212 pass.
edit_page_text (applyTextEdits) now matches at the inline-block level instead of
per text node, so a find/replace may cross bold/italic/link boundaries; the
replacement inherits marks from the unchanged common prefix/suffix via a diff
splice. Atom (non-text inline) slots can never be part of a match, making the
U+FFFC placeholder collision-safe, and inserted text never inherits an atom's
marks.
The edit batch is no longer all-or-nothing: applyTextEdits returns
{ doc, results, failed } and applies what it can; editPageText writes only on a
real change (no spurious history version for a no-op) and throws an aggregated,
actionable error only when nothing applied.
The AI-chat insert_node / patch_node / update_page_json tools now JSON.parse a
node/content argument that arrives as a string, matching the standalone MCP
server (this is what made insert_node fail under OpenAI tool calls).
Tool descriptions gain concrete ProseMirror examples and reflect the new
edit_page_text behavior. Adds/updates json-edit unit tests (183 pass).

Replace the removed enterprise EE MCP (private apps/server/src/ee submodule,
license-gated /mcp route) with our docmost-mcp, vendored as an isolated ESM
workspace package and served by the server over HTTP — no enterprise license.
Backend:
- Add packages/mcp (@docmost/mcp): vendored docmost-mcp refactored into a
side-effect-free createDocmostMcpServer() factory (38 tools preserved),
stdio entry kept in stdio.ts, Streamable-HTTP session manager in http.ts.
- Add apps/server McpModule: @Post/@Get/@Delete('mcp') (served at /mcp via the
existing global-prefix exclude), @SkipTransform + reply.hijack to bridge raw
Fastify req/res into the SDK transport. The module dynamically imports the
ESM-only package from CommonJS via a Function-indirected import resolved with
require.resolve + file:// URL. Gated by the workspace ai.mcp toggle, a
service-account (MCP_DOCMOST_EMAIL/PASSWORD/API_URL) and optional MCP_TOKEN;
per-session idle eviction (MCP_SESSION_IDLE_MS).
- Drop the enterprise license check on mcpEnabled in workspace.service.
- Dockerfile: copy packages/mcp into the production image.
- .env.example: document MCP_DOCMOST_*, MCP_TOKEN, MCP_SESSION_IDLE_MS.
Frontend:
- Recreate the community "AI & MCP" workspace-settings panel (mcp-settings.tsx):
admin-only toggle on settings.ai.mcp with optimistic update, copyable
${APP_URL}/mcp URL; wired into workspace-settings page. Reuses existing i18n.
Fixes:
- Pin packages/mcp tiptap deps to 3.20.4 (matching the client) and inline
getStyleProperty, preventing a duplicate @tiptap/core@3.26.1 from leaking into
the client editor via pnpm shamefully-hoist (was breaking apps/client tsc).
