Fixes #244

What was broken

Four defects combined to make MCP API keys impossible to enter through the UI:

  1. The API key field on the Configure (Edit MCP) screen was a static div — no click handler, no EntityInputHandler, no IME registration. Typing and paste landed nowhere.
  2. The AUTH METHOD dropdown had a pointer cursor but no click handler and no menu. Since on_configure_mcp always sent env: None, every existing MCP loaded as "No authentication required" and could never be switched to API Key.
  3. The Add screen's Manual Entry / Search fields had no cmd-v handling (handle_key_down returned early on platform modifiers), unlike every other input view.
  4. emit_save_mcp_config hardcoded auth_type: None, discarded env values, and never read data.api_key — so even a typed key would not have persisted.

What changed

Configure screen (mcp_configure_view)

  • API key and key-file path fields are real inputs: click-to-focus, accent border + caret when active, backspace, tab cycling, IME via a new ime.rs (EntityInputHandler + canvas registration, same pattern as McpAddView), and cmd-v paste with \r\n sanitization. Mask toggle unchanged (display-only).
  • AUTH METHOD dropdown now works: trigger toggles an overlay (None / API Key / Key File / OAuth) with a dismiss backdrop, mirroring the registry dropdown pattern; escape closes the menu before navigating away.

Add screen (mcp_add_view)

  • cmd-v pastes into the active field (sanitized), refreshes registry search when pasting into Search, no-op when no field is active.

Persistence (the important part)

  • UserEvent::SaveMcpConfig now carries secrets: Vec<(env var name, value)> alongside the config. The presenter stores each value in the OS keychain (SecretsManager::store_api_key_named, key mcp:{id}:{var_name}) before writing the config; a store failure aborts the save with ShowError and nothing is written. Plaintext keys are never serialized — the config JSON only records env var names with the new is_secret flag.
  • emit_save_mcp_config maps auth_method → auth_type, emits EnvVarConfig { name, required: true, is_secret: true } (falling back to env_var_name when the draft has no env pairs), and passes the typed key only in the secrets payload. Keyfile auth now persists keyfile_path.
  • on_configure_mcp loads env var names from the persisted config so the draft infers the auth method from real data instead of always "None".

Runtime alignment

  • build_env_for_config now always loads secrets by env var name (mcp:{id}:{var}), removing the old single-env-var default-key (mcp:{id}) special case so store and load sides agree. HTTP MCPs keep receiving auth through create_http_client, which turns the keychain-resolved key into an Authorization: Bearer header; build_headers_for_config additionally emits x-api-key for Http+ApiKey and now fails on a missing secret instead of silently omitting it.

Notes for the reviewer

  • One-time re-entry: any secret previously stored under the old default key mcp:{id} (single-env-var MCPs saved by older builds) will no longer load; re-enter it once through the fixed UI, which stores it under mcp:{id}:{var_name}. Failure is loud (startup error), not silent.
  • HTTP header shape: remote MCPs get the key as Authorization: Bearer via the pre-existing runtime path. If a provider requires x-api-key specifically (the helper now exists in toolset.rs), switching create_http_client over is a small follow-up; not done here to avoid changing header behavior for all HTTP MCPs in this PR.
  • Multi-env-var MCPs still have a single API key field on screen; the key is stored under the first env var name.

Verification

  • Test-first: plan at project-plans/issue244/PLAN.md; red phase log in tmp/verify244/red.log.
  • New/updated tests: configure-screen input + paste + IME + dropdown transitions + save payload (15), add-screen paste (9), toolset headers (5), presenter coverage incl. keychain store via mock backend (10), wiring event flow (22).
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check clean; cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings clean; full cargo test --lib --tests green (131 suites, 0 failures; one <10ms timing assert in gpui_bridge_tests flaked once under load and passes 10/10 in isolation — untouched by this diff).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

MCP configuration now tracks secret environment variables, stores credentials in the keychain, loads named secrets at runtime, supports authentication selection, and accepts keyboard, clipboard, and IME input in the Add and Configure views.

Changes

MCP authentication and input flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime secret contracts
src/events/types.rs, src/mcp/*, src/services/secure_store.rs, tests/mcp_*
MCP configurations preserve secret metadata. Named secrets populate runtime environments and derived HTTP headers. Missing or ambiguous HTTP API-key secrets return errors.
Presenter draft and secret persistence
src/presentation/mcp_configure_presenter.rs, src/presentation/view_command.rs, src/services/secure_store.rs, tests/*
The presenter loads persisted authentication drafts without exposing secret values. Save events carry redacted secret types. Keychain writes roll back on failure, and obsolete entries are removed.
Configure input and authentication UI
src/ui_gpui/views/mcp_configure_view/*
The Configure view adds authentication selection, active fields, clipboard paste, keyboard editing, IME support, keyfile handling, draft restoration, and secret-bearing save payloads.
Add view and command wiring
src/ui_gpui/views/mcp_add_view/*, src/ui_gpui/views/main_panel/*, src/presentation/mcp_add_presenter.rs, src/ui_gpui/mod.rs, tests/*
Draft commands carry authentication metadata. Registry and manual-entry flows restore typed environment metadata. Paste input is sanitized and IME state resets during navigation and selection changes.

- Around line 396-402: Reset ime_marked_byte_count before field switches and
non-IME text changes in McpConfigureView, including activate_field, Tab

Typed API keys were one save/load disagreement away from being lost or
leaked: the view inferred auth method from env var presence, the runtime
keychain-loaded every secret var regardless of auth type, and draft
payloads carried raw secret strings that Debug logging could expose.

SecretValue now redacts secrets in logs and serialized events, drafts
round-trip persisted auth state so editing an MCP does not force
re-entering its key, keyfile auth never touches the keychain, and HTTP
header derivation is a single shared rule so the startup check and the
live client cannot disagree. Save entrypoints are gated by can_save and
the presenter surfaces load, store, and write failures through ShowError
instead of silently degrading the draft, rolling back keychain writes
when the config file cannot be saved.
Pin the secret-handling behavior from the configure-screen fix so
regressions show up as test failures instead of leaked or lost keys:

- configure presenter persists an ApiKey payload with is_secret env
  vars into the mock keychain and never serializes plaintext into the
  config file; editing without retyping a key preserves the stored
  keychain entry; a keychain store failure surfaces ShowError and
  writes no config; drafts never carry stored secret values
- toolset env building errors on missing secrets, keeps non-secret
  vars sourced from config, and never touches the keychain for
  Keyfile configs; header auth distinguishes Bearer from X-{NAME}
- view layer: stored-secret round trip can save, keyfile round trip,
  oauth draft reset, paste during IME drops marked bytes, multi-line
  paste strips interior newlines, cmd-s with empty key emits nothing
CI rejects src files over 1000 lines and lizard flags handle_command
over the 100 line budget, both in mcp_add_view/mod.rs. The inline test
module now lives in a sibling tests.rs wired like the configure and
profile editor views, and the McpConfigureDraftLoaded arm body moves
into an apply_configure_draft helper so handle_command reads as a
command dispatch again.

Serialize every mock-store test and reset MOCK_STORE_FAILURE on unwind.

MOCK_STORE, MOCK_ACTIVE, and MOCK_STORE_FAILURE are process-global. api_key_manager_lists_keys_and_handles_store_delete_errors and mcp_configure_save_stores_keychain_secrets perform writes without KEYCHAIN_WRITE_SERIALIZER; those writes can fail while the failure test is active. mcp_configure_draft_loads_env_vars_from_app_config also reads the same store. Acquire the serializer before use_mock_backend() in every test that accesses the mock store, including these three tests. Replace the manual reset with a Drop guard so a panic cannot leave the failure flag enabled.

The live HTTP client applied the bearer/custom header rule to every env
var, so two token-ish names both produced Authorization headers and map
order picked the winner, while Http+Keyfile never read keyfile_path and
silently dropped its credential. The runtime now derives Authorization
from exactly one source (oauth token, keyfile bearer, or the single
ApiKey secret var) and turns all remaining env vars into X-{NAME}
headers that can never collide with it.

build_env_for_config now fails fast on secret env vars under Keyfile
auth (they were silently skipped, losing credentials), on required
plain vars with no value (they were inserted as empty strings), and on
env var names that are not header-safe or values carrying line breaks
via the new env_var_name_is_valid gate. Stale header test names now
describe the bearer contract they assert.
A failed config save used to delete the keychain entry it had just
overwritten, permanently destroying a credential that already worked.
persist_save now snapshots the prior value before each store: rollback
restores overwritten entries and deletes only entries the save created.
Keychain probe failures during draft load are logged instead of
silently collapsing into not-stored.

An existing OAuth MCP could not be saved without re-running the OAuth
flow because every draft load reset the connection state. The draft
payload now carries oauth_connected (OAuth auth plus a stored token)
and the view restores Connected under the loaded MCP's own name.

The configure screen also stops multiplying env var entries (a derived
secret now converts an existing plain var in place), surfaces why a
save is blocked next to the Save button instead of dropping it
silently, and refuses whitespace-only keys before they can overwrite a
stored credential. Env var names and secret payload names are
validated at save time so header-unsafe names fail fast.

Test hygiene in remaining_presenter_coverage_tests: mock-store failure
injection uses an RAII guard so a mid-test assert cannot poison later
tests, and the stale await_holding_lock suppressions are gone (clippy
1.98 no longer fires on tokio guards, verified by the expect forms
reporting unfulfilled).
CI hard-errors on any src file over 1000 lines and the last wave pushed
mcp_configure_view/tests.rs to 1128. The OAuth draft and save-gate or
blocked-save-reason tests now live in a child tests/oauth_and_save_gate
module wired from tests.rs like the main_panel view does, keeping both
files well under the cap with test names unchanged.
The secret-name heuristic substring-matched KEY/PAT, so BUNDLE_PATH and
CONFIG_PATH classified as secret while detect_auth_type used different
rules, letting rows become secret under auth None where the typed value
was then discarded and no keychain slot existed. One boundary-aware
matcher now backs both env_var_name_is_secret and detect_auth_type:
keywords must be delimited words, so apiKey, API_KEY, ACCESS_TOKEN, and
CLIENT_SECRET stay secret while path names do not, and persisted_env_vars
demotes secret flags under non-ApiKey auth to plain rows that keep the
typed value.

EnvVarConfig now enforces its secret invariant at the serde boundary
with manual impls: a hand-edited config can neither load nor persist a
plain value into a secret var.

The add view fixes a real IME panic: backspace during composition left
ime_marked_byte_count stale, so the next paste truncated mid-character.
Backspace now shrinks the counter by the popped char's UTF-8 length, and
the marked-tail truncation walks back to a char boundary as a guard
against arbitrary IME byte splits. apply_configure_draft groups its nine
positional arguments into a ConfigureDraftPayload struct, dropping the
too_many_arguments allow.

The registry draft path stops fabricating is_required for env vars
registry metadata does not carry, and consumes entry.env by value
instead of cloning it for borrow ordering.
build_headers_for_config swallowed keyfile read errors and returned Ok
with no Authorization header, so a missing or unreadable keyfile only
surfaced as a provider 401 after an unauthenticated request went out.
The placeholder path now propagates McpError::Config with the same
"MCP {name}: cannot read keyfile {path}: {err}" shape the live runtime
path already used.

The MCP configure save gate let an ApiKey draft carry multiple
secret-flagged env rows through: typed_secrets fills only the first
row, so the save succeeded while the runtime's exactly-one-secret-var
rule rejected the config afterwards. can_save and blocked_save_reason
now consult one shared helper, blocking the save with a readable reason
instead of saving a config that cannot authenticate. Demotion under
non-ApiKey auth keeps imported multi-secret drafts savable there.

CodeRabbit thread dispositions (all actionable threads now resolved):

  • Keyfile read failure silently dropped a header (src/mcp/toolset.rs, build_headers_for_config): fixed in 39c5df7. The placeholder path now propagates McpError::Config with the same message shape as the live runtime path (MCP {name}: cannot read keyfile {path}: {err}); covered by build_headers_errors_when_keyfile_is_unreadable.
  • Rollback deleted pre-existing keychain credentials (src/presentation/mcp_configure_presenter.rs): fixed in 9d0c529. Each store snapshots the prior keychain value (StoredSecret { name, prior }); rollback restores the prior value and only deletes entries that had none.
  • Multi-secret ApiKey draft passed the save gate (src/ui_gpui/views/mcp_configure_view/mod.rs): fixed in 39c5df7. has_multiple_api_key_secrets blocks the save with the rendered reason "API key auth supports exactly one secret env var"; both gate and reason share the one helper.

Full local gate on 39c5df7: fmt, clippy with the CI deny set, xtask guard, lizard (CCN 50 / NLOC 100), file length, and the full suite (2059 passed, 0 failed).

In `@src/mcp/runtime.rs`:
- Around line 188-190: Update McpRuntime::http_auth_headers to add an explicit
McpAuthType::OAuth handling path when oauth_token is absent, returning a named
error instead of succeeding without an Authorization header; preserve the
existing Bearer header behavior when the token is present and the other
authentication branches unchanged.

In `@src/mcp/toolset.rs`:
- Around line 108-114: Update can_save to validate environment rows before
persistence, rejecting any required variable whose plain value is empty;
alternatively, normalize such rows to required: false before persisted_env_vars
saves them. Ensure persisted required environment variables cannot cause
build_env_for_config or plain_var_entry to fail during startup.

In `@src/mcp/types.rs`:
- Line 132: Update the followed_by_boundary check in the keyword matcher to
accept an ASCII digit in addition to end-of-input and underscore, while
continuing to reject letters such as the C in KEYCLOAK. Preserve the shared
matcher behavior used by detect_auth_type and build_env_for_config so names like
API_KEY2 remain classified as secrets.

In `@src/presentation/mcp_add_presenter.rs`:
- Around line 284-286: Update the env_var_name derivation in
McpConfigurePresenter to select the first variable marked secret, falling back
to "API_KEY" when none exists; keep it consistent with on_configure_mcp and use
the selected name for the API key label and fallback secret name.

In `@src/ui_gpui/views/mcp_configure_view/mod.rs`:
- Around line 663-667: Update the restored OAuth status assignment in the
oauth_connected flow so OAuthStatus::Connected.username is not populated from
the MCP display-name variable name; use a neutral restored-connection label or
the actual account name from the draft payload, while preserving
OAuthStatus::NotConnected for disconnected states.
- Around line 199-212: Update the API-key save flow around the
environment-variable persistence logic to reject drafts containing multiple
secret environment rows, allowing persistence only when exactly one API-key
secret row exists. Ensure the validation occurs before updating or pushing
entries in persisted_env_vars, while preserving the existing single-row handling

Fail fast for OAuth configurations without a token

McpRegistry::remote_entry_to_config can create an OAuth config with oauth_token: None. McpRuntime::http_auth_headers then skips every credential branch and returns Ok without Authorization. Add an explicit McpAuthType::OAuth arm that returns a named error when oauth_token is absent.

Reject blank required environment variables at save time. can_save does not validate environment rows, so persisted_env_vars can save required: true with an empty plain value. During startup, runtime calls build_env_for_config, where plain_var_entry returns McpError::Config before client creation. Reject blank required rows in can_save, or persist them with required: false.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

A digit directly after the keyword now blocks secret detection.

followed_by_boundary accepts only the string end or _. A name such as API_KEY2, TOKEN2, or OPENAI_KEY1 therefore no longer classifies as a secret, while the previous substring rule did.

The consequence is not only a lost flag. detect_auth_type uses the same matcher, so a registry var flagged is_secret: true with such a name yields McpAuthType::None. build_env_for_config then adds nothing for the None arm, and the MCP starts without its credential.

Treat a following ASCII digit as a boundary. KEYCLOAK still fails the rule because C is a letter.

Derive env_var_name from the first secret variable, not the first variable.

env.first() ignores the secret flag. If a registry entry lists a non-secret variable first, env_var_name becomes that plain name. The configure view uses env_var_name as the label of the API key input and as the fallback secret name, so the key input is labelled with a non-secret variable. McpConfigurePresenter::on_configure_mcp applies the opposite rule and picks the first is_secret variable, so the two draft sources disagree.

The restored OAuth status shows the MCP name as the account handle.

oauth_connected builds OAuthStatus::Connected { username: name } from the MCP display name. render_oauth_section renders that value as Connected as @{username}, so an MCP named "Exa Remote" is shown as the connected account @Exa Remote. Use a neutral label for a restored connection, or carry the real account name in the draft payload.
