The embedded MCP server acted as a single service account; now each /mcp
session authenticates as the current user, so tools run under that user's
CASL and edits attribute to them.
- HTTP Basic (chosen path): Authorization: Basic email:password, validated
server-side via AuthService; the session carries the issued user JWT (not
the raw password). Password may contain ':' (split on first only).
- Bearer fallback: Authorization: Bearer <access JWT>, verified as ACCESS and
additionally checked for an active session + non-disabled user (matching
JwtStrategy), so revoked/disabled users are rejected.
- Service account stays as an optional fallback (no creds + env configured).
- packages/mcp createMcpHttpHandler accepts a per-request config resolver
(back-compat: static config / stdio unchanged); identity is bound to the
mcp-session-id at init and re-validated from the caller's own credentials on
every request (anti session-fixation: a guessed session id can't be reused
without matching creds).
- A full login (session + audit) happens only once at session init; later
requests re-verify credentials via a new non-side-effecting
AuthService.verifyUserCredentials (no session/audit spam).
- Failed-login limiter (5/60s, keyed per-IP, per-IP+email, and per-email so IP
rotation can't brute one account) since direct login bypasses the controller
throttler. Only real credential failures count.
- MCP_TOKEN shared guard moved off Authorization to an X-MCP-Token header
(timing-safe compare); credsConfigured 503 gate replaced by a clear 401.
- No secrets logged; all auth resolved before res.hijack() so failures return
clean 401 JSON. .env.example marks the service account optional.
Implements docs/backlog/mcp-per-user-auth.md (variant L).

list_pages gains an opt-in `tree` parameter on both surfaces (the
@docmost/mcp server tool and the AI-chat agent tool), which share the
same DocmostClient.listPages. Default behavior (recent-by-updatedAt flat
list) is unchanged.
- client.ts: listPages(spaceId?, limit=50, tree=false); when tree is
true it requires spaceId (throws a specific error otherwise), walks the
sidebar tree via the existing bounded/cycle-safe enumerateSpacePages,
and returns a nested tree; limit is ignored in tree mode.
- lib/tree.ts: new pure buildPageTree() — lean nodes { id, slugId, title,
children? }, children sorted by position (code-unit order), orphans
promoted to roots, cycle-safe.
- index.ts + ai-chat-tools.service.ts: expose `tree` in the tool schemas
and descriptions; docmost-client.loader.ts: mirror the new signature.
- tests: add packages/mcp/test/unit/tree.test.mjs (nesting, ordering,
lean shape, orphan promotion, cycle/self-reference safety).
- rebuild @docmost/mcp (build/ is tracked and loaded at runtime).
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.
The insert_image and replace_image MCP tools previously uploaded only
local files (filePath), which an AI MCP client cannot provide — it has
no access to the server filesystem. Replace filePath with a required
imageUrl and download the image over http(s).
- client.ts: add fetchRemoteImage(url, maxBytes) — http/https-only scheme
allowlist, 20 MiB cap (maxContentLength + post-download length recheck),
30s timeout, Content-Type→MIME resolution with URL-extension fallback,
filename derivation with canonical extension
- client.ts: rewrite uploadImage(pageId, url) as URL-only; drop the
local-file branch, imageMimeFromPath and the fs import; insertImage/
replaceImage now take a url
- index.ts: drop filePath, add required imageUrl to both tools; update
tool descriptions and SERVER_INSTRUCTIONS
- README: document the web-URL behaviour
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).

- openai provider: use .chat() (Chat Completions) instead of the default callable
(Responses API), which gateways reject on multi-turn -> 400.
- updateAiProviderSettings: assemble settings.ai.provider via jsonb_build_object
with ::text-cast bound params + jsonb_typeof self-heal (postgres.js was
double-encoding it into an array; the ::text cast avoids 'could not determine
data type of parameter').
- chat agent: drop the hard maxOutputTokens cap (truncated complex tool calls);
keep a tiny cap only on the test-connection ping.
- testConnection + chat stream: surface the real provider error (statusCode+message)
to logs and the UI instead of generic masks; never log the API key.
- chat UI: typing indicator, incremental streaming render, tool 'running' status, Stop.
Also bundled (prior uncommitted ai-chat work):
- history 'AI agent' provenance badge; vector RAG (pgvector image + page_embeddings
+ AI_QUEUE indexer + space-scoped semanticSearch); external MCP servers backend
(@ai-sdk/mcp client, SSRF IP-pinning, encrypted headers, admin CRUD/Test);
yjs duplicate-instance fix via pnpm patch (single CJS instance server-side).
- Add reversible write tools to the per-user agent toolset (page create/update/
move/soft-delete; comment reply + resolve), exposed under the user's JWT and
enforced by Docmost CASL; no permanent/force delete (D3).
- Non-spoofable agent provenance: sign actor/aiChatId into the access and collab
tokens (TokenService), propagate via jwt.strategy onto the request, and set
pages.last_updated_source/last_updated_ai_chat_id on REST create/update/move and
comments.created_source/resolved_source/ai_chat_id.
- packages/mcp: add an optional getCollabToken provider (content-edit provenance)
and guard against empty tokens; service-account /mcp path unchanged.
Frontend:
- Admin 'AI / Models' settings section: provider/model/embedding/base URL, a
write-only API key field, system prompt, and Test connection.
- AI chat panel (useChat + DefaultChatTransport): conversation list, streamed
messages, tool-call action log and page citations; header entry point gated on
settings.ai.chat.
Compile-verified (server nest build + client tsc/vite); not yet live-tested.
Known gaps: history 'AI agent' badge (C3), vector RAG (D), external MCP (E);
chat tool-card citation links pending a fix.

WIP checkpoint of the gitmost AI-chat backend (plan stages A + B1 + B3a).
The agent acts under the requesting user's JWT (Docmost CASL enforces page
access); the external service-account /mcp endpoint is untouched.
LLM provider config (A2-A4):
- integrations/crypto: AES-256-GCM SecretBoxService (key derived from APP_SECRET,
per-record salt/iv; clear error on rotation instead of crashing).
- ai_provider_credentials table/repo/types: encrypted API key stored outside
workspace settings/baseFields, write-only (never returned by any endpoint).
- integrations/ai: per-workspace AI SDK v6 provider driver (openai/gemini/ollama),
admin-gated GET(masked)/PATCH(write-only key)/Test endpoints; settings.ai.provider
holds non-secret config incl. systemPrompt. Removed unused AI_* env getters (DB is
the single source of truth).
Chat module (A1, A5-A8):
- ai_chats/ai_chat_messages repos (workspace-scoped, soft-delete, tsv never selected).
- core/ai-chat: CRUD + POST /ai-chat/stream (Fastify hijack + AI SDK v6
pipeUIMessageStreamToResponse, abort on disconnect, persist user/assistant msgs).
- Agent loop: streamText + stepCountIs(8); read tools searchPages/getPage via a
per-request DocmostClient over loopback REST under the user's minted access token.
- Gate settings.ai.chat (+ 503 when provider unconfigured); buildSystemPrompt with a
non-removable safety/anti-prompt-injection framework. Per-user rate limit.
Per-user auth (B1):
- @docmost/mcp DocmostClient gains an additive getToken variant (carry a user JWT,
re-fetch on 401) and exports DocmostClient; the email/password service-account path
(external /mcp, stdio) is unchanged.
Agent-edit provenance backbone (B3a):
- Migration: pages/page_history (last_updated_source, last_updated_ai_chat_id) and
comments (created_source, ai_chat_id, resolved_source).
- Signed actor/aiChatId claim in the collab token; onAuthenticate propagates it,
onStoreDocument writes it with a sticky agent marker, saveHistory copies it.
Migrations auto-run on boot (additive). Write tools, frontend, RAG and external MCP
servers are not in this checkpoint.

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).
