📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds an MCP Inspector page, a Streamable HTTP MCP client, and a Go backend relay. Deployment manifests now serve the plugin over HTTPS and expose a ChangesMCP Inspector
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change adds an MCP Inspector and authenticated backend relay, but unresolved issues can cause crashes or incorrect tool and prompt results, send nullable values incorrectly, and allow selected gateways to impose broader network or response-size pressure than intended. The PR is not merge-ready until the correctness issues are fixed and the relay boundary risks are explicitly addressed or accepted. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Inline comments:
In `@src/components/mcp/MCPInspectorPage.test.tsx`:
- Around line 156-157: Add dark-theme test coverage in MCPInspectorPage.test.tsx
for both the connected-tools flow and the prompt-output flow, using the existing
theme setup utilities and preserving the current light-theme assertions.
In `@src/components/mcp/MCPInspectorPage.tsx`:
- Around line 170-176: Update the connection flow in MCPInspectorPage so each
gateway change increments a connection-generation ref, and capture that
generation for every connection attempt. Before applying success or failure
state—including clientRef, session ID, connection status, tools, prompts, and
prompt errors—verify the attempt still matches the current generation,
preventing stale gateway results from replacing the active session.
In `@src/components/mcp/MCPToolWorkspace.tsx`:
- Line 244: Update the FormSelect onChange handler in MCPToolWorkspace to map
the selected option index back to propertySchema.enum and pass the original enum
value to setValue, preserving boolean, object, array, and other enum types
instead of storing strings. Add test coverage for changing a boolean enum
selection and verify onRun receives a boolean.
- Line 175: Update the object-schema validation condition in MCPToolWorkspace to
explicitly reject parsed === null when the original schema type does not include
'null'. Preserve acceptance of null only for schemas permitting it, while
retaining the existing array and non-object rejection behavior.
In `@src/utils/mcp/client.ts`:
- Around line 188-190: Update toolsList and promptsList in
src/utils/mcp/client.ts at lines 188-190 and 204-206 to follow each response’s
nextCursor until pagination is exhausted, combining tools across all tool pages
and prompts across all prompt pages before returning. Preserve the existing
result shape and request methods.

Serve the plugin assets and a narrow same-origin MCP relay from one Go process, resolving gateway targets from Kubernetes resources while keeping OpenShift and MCP credentials separate. Add the MCP Inspector page: gateway selection, MCP session setup, tool discovery and refresh with cursor pagination, schema-driven tool inputs, prompt rendering with a size estimate, manual bearer authentication, and request output aligned with the issue 671 design. Teach the local oinc loop to apply the operator-managed Console proxy contract and document the supported workflow. Signed-off-by: Jason Madigan <jason@jasonmadigan.com>

Summary
MCPGatewayExtension, list its tools, run a tool through a form generated from the tool input schema, inspect the JSON-RPC exchange.cmd/plugin-server:/api/mcp/v1/mcpgatewayextensions/<namespace>/<name>. Resolves the MCP endpoint from the extension and its Gateway listener using the Console user's token (so RBAC applies), allows onlyinitialize,notifications/initialized,tools/listandtools/call, caps request size and rejects redirects.401opens a token prompt. The browser sends the token asX-Kuadrant-MCP-Authorization; the backend rewrites it toAuthorizationfor the selected gateway only, and only over HTTPS unlessMCP_PROXY_ALLOW_INSECURE_AUTH=true. A rejected token keeps the prompt open with an inline error. Token and MCP session id live in memory only.MCPServerRegistrationprefix), copy actions for the tool name and JSON-RPC payloads.prompts/listandprompts/getthrough the same relay. Typeahead prompt selector with the owning server, argument form from the prompt definition, generated text with a copy action and a size estimate (characters/4, labelled as an estimate, not a model tokenizer). Gateways without prompt support keep a tools-only session.docs/mcp-inspector.md(proxy and security model, backend settings, prompts), design indocs/designs/2026-08-16-mcp-inspector-direct-gateway-design.md.Depends on Kuadrant/kuadrant-operator#2206, which reconciles
ConsolePlugin.spec.proxy(authorization: UserToken), runs the plugin image as the backend on 9443 and honoursCONSOLE_PLUGIN_IMAGE_OVERRIDE.Demo
tools-prompts-demo.mov
Try it locally
The Kuadrant Operator is the product source of truth: it deploys the backend-capable Console Plugin image and reconciles
ConsolePlugin.spec.proxy. oinc only adapts that contract for its standalone development Console.The Bridge code path is the production one:
authorization: UserTokenwraps the proxy route in the Console auth middleware, which injects the authenticated user's token and verifies CSRF. With auth disabled the Bridge injects a static token instead, exactly asstart-console.shdoes for every plugin, so the one thing this flow cannot show is per-user RBAC behaviour; check that on a real cluster with a non-admin user before GA.Needs oinc v0.4.6 or newer, Docker or Podman, helm, kubectl and Node.js. Assume sibling checkouts named
kuadrant-console-plugin(this branch) andkuadrant-operator(feat/mcp-inspector-backend-proxy).1. Start oinc and frontend hot reload
From this checkout, leave running:
On a clean workspace this creates the oinc cluster with the Kuadrant and MCP Gateway addons and starts the frontend dev server on port 9001. Verified with the mcp-gateway chart 0.9.0; the addon default is 0.8.0 and untested here. To match:
2. Build and load the backend-capable Console Plugin image
docker build -t localhost/kuadrant/console-plugin:mcp-inspector-dev . oinc load-image localhost/kuadrant/console-plugin:mcp-inspector-dev3. Build and load the development Kuadrant Operator
4. Point the OLM-managed operator at both local images
Patch the owning CSV, not the generated Deployment. The image override also enables Console Plugin reconciliation in oinc, which has no
ClusterVersionobject. Idempotent, safe to re-run.5. Add oinc-only HTTP routing settings
The oinc demo gateway is plain HTTP and its public sslip hostname resolves to loopback inside the plugin pod. Keep the logical URL and Host header, but dial the in-cluster Gateway Service. The operator retains environment variables it does not own.
kubectl set env deployment/kuadrant-console-plugin -n kuadrant-system \ MCP_PROXY_DIAL_ADDRESS=mcp-gateway-istio.gateway-system.svc.cluster.local:80 \ MCP_PROXY_ALLOW_INSECURE_AUTH=true kubectl rollout status deployment/kuadrant-console-plugin -n kuadrant-system --timeout=2m6. Sync the operator proxy into standalone Console
Run it again after recreating the cluster or changing the backend Service. A stale mapping shows as
initialize failed (http 502).7. Use the Inspector
Open http://localhost:9000/mcp-inspector, select
mcp-gateway-extension (mcp-gateway-system), picktoystore_greetin the tool selector, fillNameand run it. Then switch to Prompts: the test server registers one prompt, alsotoystore_greet, with no declared arguments; Generate prompt rendersSay hi towith the size estimate under it. Or drive the live journey, which covers both:8. Optional: exercise the bearer token prompt
The demo gateway is open, so the Inspector connects without a credential. Protect the
mcplistener to see the401flow. Run step 7 first, or delete the policy afterwards: the live Playwright journey has no token step.Select the gateway again. The "Authentication required" modal opens; a wrong token shows "Invalid bearer token" inline and keeps the modal open,
testconnects and lists thetoystore_*tools.Rebuild loop
Frontend changes hot reload. For Go backend or operator changes, rebuild and
oinc load-imagethe image, thenkubectl rollout restartthe matching Deployment; the CSV references keep the stable dev tags.Test evidence
go test ./...yarn lintyarn test(MCP Inspector Jest suites:src/components/mcp/MCPInspectorPage.test.tsx,src/utils/mcp/client.test.ts,src/utils/mcp/serverNames.test.ts)initialize=200,notifications/initialized=202,tools/list,tools/callreturningHi Ada,prompts/list,prompts/getreturningSay hi to, no gateway CSP report.Relates to #671. Closes #672. Validation of the backend proxy approach: #776.
