Summary

Promote Kater from an MCP-centric gateway model to a capability fabric with four first-class catalog views: toolkits, integrations, plugins, and MCP surfaces.

  • add unified fabric catalog and REST routes
  • expose kater catalog, kater toolkits, kater integrations, and kater plugins
  • preserve existing connector/MCP APIs and execution/policy internals
  • separate provider availability from concrete connection readiness
  • allow extension modules to contribute product-facing plugin manifests
  • update package/README positioning without moving Commander governance into Kater

Verification

  • uv run ruff check .
  • uv run mypy (115 source files)
  • 122 focused API/OpenAPI/CLI/catalog tests passed
  • Latest repair 15f68498c15dbb739ef42ea80e3bab2c5f235820, verified on existing Azure compute: full suite 1663 passed, 13 skipped, ruff PASS, mypy PASS (115 source files), targeted catalog/doctor/cursor/release suite 118 passed. The generic-host doctor fixture now explicitly mocks a generic hostname; its separate company-control test remains intact.
  • Rich-catalog requests require unrestricted capabilities; authenticated request identity is preserved across token expiry. Catalog metadata omits provider launch/auth configuration and projects URL fields to validated HTTP(S) origins only. Details and reproducible verification: feat(catalog): unify toolkits, integrations, plugins, and MCP #83 (comment)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Kater adds a unified catalog for toolkits, integrations, plugins, and MCP surfaces. The catalog is available through new API routes and CLI commands. Documentation and package metadata now describe Kater as an agent capability fabric.

Changes

Capability fabric catalog

Layer / File(s) Summary
Catalog model and item aggregation
src/kater/fabric_catalog.py, src/kater/extensions.py, tests/test_fabric_catalog.py
Defines catalog items and kinds. Aggregates toolkit, integration, MCP, and plugin records. Supports query and profile filtering.
Catalog API routes
src/kater/api/fabric_routes.py, tests/test_fabric_catalog.py
Adds unified and kind-specific catalog endpoints with validation, filtering, OpenAPI metadata, and API tests.
Catalog CLI commands
src/kater/cli.py, README.md
Adds catalog, toolkits, integrations, and plugins commands with JSON and formatted output.
Product model and package metadata
README.md, docs/connectors.md, pyproject.toml
Updates product terminology, catalog endpoint documentation, connector concepts, package description, and keywords.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 15f68

This change adds protected catalog API and CLI views for toolkits, integrations, plugins, and MCP while redacting sensitive provider configuration. Restricted capability contexts cannot access catalog metadata, and no current merge-blocking risk is identified.

- Around line 738-746: Update the OpenAPI entries for /api/toolkits,
/api/integrations, /api/plugins, and /api/mcp/catalog to include the shared q
and profile parameter definitions accepted by _catalog_response, while
preserving their existing summaries and responses.
- Line 674: Update _catalog_response to authorize the caller-requested profile
before passing it to catalog_payload, using the identity’s permitted profile
set; reject unauthorized profiles or constrain the request to authorized
profiles so catalog metadata cannot be enumerated across profiles.

In `@src/kater/fabric_catalog.py`:
- Around line 193-207: Update mcp_items() at src/kater/fabric_catalog.py:193-207
and the sibling metadata construction at src/kater/fabric_catalog.py:228-231 to
stop returning complete MCP configurations. Allowlist only safe MCP fields,
exclude authentication and credential templates, and sanitize endpoint URLs by
removing userinfo and credential-bearing query parameters before storing them in
metadata; apply the same sanitization to both affected sites.

Review follow-up at exact head 15f68498c15dbb739ef42ea80e3bab2c5f235820.

  • All five rich-catalog routes now deny capability-restricted identities with 403,
    including an explicitly empty allowlist. profile is a view filter, not a new
    authorization grant. Existing capability-filtered discovery/invocation remains
    compatible; tested with a real signed restricted context.
  • The guard uses the request identity already authenticated by the gateway. It
    does not re-verify a token and accidentally downgrade it to unrestricted if it
    expires or is revoked between checks. Five regression cases require a single
    verification, 403 and no catalog read.
  • MCP configuration dumps, launch arguments, environment/header templates and
    auth-binding references are not catalog metadata. Homepage and endpoint fields
    expose only validated HTTP(S) origins; userinfo/path/query/fragment are omitted.
    Synthetic credential canaries are absent from the complete serialized payload,
    including static MCP, dynamic MCP, bridges and integration metadata.
  • All fixed-kind OpenAPI routes describe q/profile and 403; README fence and
    access/metadata contract corrected.
  • The existing generic-host doctor test now explicitly mocks a generic hostname;
    the separate company-control-host test is preserved. This repairs its previously
    reported failure on the Azure verification host without changing doctor behavior.

Verification on existing Azure compute, Python 3.12.3, frozen dependency lock:

  • uv run --no-sync ruff check .: PASS.
  • uv run --no-sync mypy: PASS, 115 source files.
  • Changed catalog source/test formatter check: PASS.
  • Catalog + doctor + cursor-config + release-validator targeted suite: 118 passed.
  • uv run --no-sync pytest -q: 1663 passed, 13 skipped in 290.58s, coverage 80%.

The initial full run found 1660 passed / 13 skipped / 3 failed: two required genuine
Git metadata instead of a copied laptop worktree pointer, and the third was the
above generic-host fixture. Remote Git metadata was restored from an exact-base
bundle, and all three failure cases pass in both the targeted and full rerun. All five changed
files hash-match between the remote verification tree and this commit.

Read-only code review found no remaining substantive P1/P2 in this repair. This
is not an independent GitHub approval, merge, release, or runtime deployment.

Reviewed exact head 95983b3. Checked catalog authorization boundary, public-mode visibility filtering, MCP endpoint redaction/origin projection, CLI surface, extension manifest exposure, resolved security/OpenAPI review threads, and exact-head CI. No remaining actionable blocker found.
