@desc: MCP Connector Transport, Pre-Flight Guard & In-Band Protocol Specification

1. Connector Transport & Interception Matrix ​

MCPServerConnector governs tool execution across local and remote MCP servers, enforcing deterministic idempotency and pre-flight interception before worker I/O or subprocess creation.

Transport / ModeTarget Target TypeInterception Guarantee (HTTP 202 YIELD)Lifecycle & Session
network / multiplexRemote HTTP / Streamable SSE (/mcp, /sse-mcp)Pre-I/O Stashing: Traps matching payloads prior to upstream HTTP/SSE dispatch.Persists Mcp-Session-Id across concurrent multiplexed streams; maps upstream 401 or JSON-RPC faults to Gateway 502.
stdio / ephemeral3rd-Party CLI / npx packagesZero-Spawn Isolation: OS subprocess (PID) is never spawned until attestation succeeds (active_sandboxes=0).Lazy-spawns sandbox on approval and terminates immediately upon resolution.
stdio / linearBuilt-in Stateful Daemons (worker.deployer, finlib)Pre-I/O or Native Elicitation: Traps via regex or mid-flight worker elicitation/createMessage.Serialized queue processing; unapproved orphan streams are force-reverted by WorkerReaper (Sentinel).

2. Pre-Flight Guard Provisioning (PreflightGuard) ​

PreflightGuard inspects incoming JSON-RPC params against regular expressions. Prefixing a pattern with button: (or simple:, nototp:, 1click:) switches attestation from default 6-Digit TOTP to 1-Click Button mode.

2.1. Resolution Precedence ​

PreflightGuard.resolve_pattern() evaluates rules in strict priority order:

  1. Explicit CLI / SDK Flag: -p / --preflight or preflight_pattern="..."
  2. Target-Scoped Env: FIBER_PREFLIGHT_<SANITIZED_TARGET_ID> (e.g., hitl-stdio-fs -> FIBER_PREFLIGHT_HITL_STDIO_FS)
  3. Global Env: FIBER_PREFLIGHT_PATTERN or FIBER_HITL_ON(Mode overrides follow: button: prefix -> FIBER_PREFLIGHT_MODE_<TARGET> -> FIBER_PREFLIGHT_MODE).

2.2. CLI & Declarative .mcp.json Mounting ​

McpConfigMapper extracts and strips FIBER_PREFLIGHT_* keys from .mcp.json prior to worker spawn so internal flags never leak into 3rd-party environments:

bash
# CLI Sidecar Provisioning (TOTP on Postgres, 1-Click Button on Filesystem, Env-Auth on Remote HTTP)
$ fiber connect -t prod-db -e "npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres" -p "DROP|TRUNCATE|DELETE"
$ fiber connect -t local-fs -e "npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /tmp" -p "button:prod_secrets|\.env"
$ fiber connect -t ctx7-remote -e https://mcp.context7.com/mcp -p "RESTRICTED_TOPIC" -f .env
json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fiber-gateway": { "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8356/v1/mcp-gateway/invoke" },
    "workspace-fs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/tmp"],
      "env": {
        "FIBER_PREFLIGHT_PATTERN": "prod_secrets|DELETE",
        "FIBER_PREFLIGHT_MODE": "button"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Invocation, Parking (HTTP 202) & Resumption Protocol ​

text
[Client / Agent] ──(POST /v1/mcp-gateway/{target}/invoke + x-idempotency-key)──► [MCPServerConnector]
  ├─ Safe Payload      ──► Execute Transport (HTTP/SSE/Stdio) ──► Return HTTP 200 OK
  └─ Trap / Elicitation ──► Stash Payload (SHA-256) & Seal PENDING/YIELD
                        ──► Return HTTP 202 Accepted (Location: /.../handles/{handle_id})
                              ├─ [Path A: In-Band Resume]  Re-POST with `_meta.inputResponses` (AttestedResumeResult)
                              ├─ [Path B: OOB Resume]      Slack/OOB Bridge dispatches signed RESUME intent
                              └─ [Path C: Timeout Expiry]  Sentinel (WorkerReaper) dispatches FORCE_ROLLBACK -> FAULTED

3.1. HTTP 202 Accepted Yield Frame ​

Duplicate requests with the same x-idempotency-key hit the Idempotency Fast-Path and return the parked 202 state without re-triggering the worker:

json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "prompt_txn_1792523154_ad45a9be4329",
  "method": "elicitation/createMessage",
  "params": {
    "message": "[Pre-flight Guard] High-risk pattern 'RESTRICTED_TOPIC' detected on 'net-context7'. Enter TOTP:",
    "payload_hash": "1099bd1e...",
    "require_totp": true
  }
}

3.2. In-Band Stateless Resumption (_meta.inputResponses) ​

Agents capable of collecting credentials directly can resume a parked transaction in-band by re-submitting the original payload with the **same x-idempotency-key** and an embedded AttestedResumeResult:

json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 777,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "execute_db_migration",
    "arguments": { "service_name": "auth", "sql_script": "DROP TABLE" },
    "_meta": {
      "inputResponses": {
        "jsonrpc": "2.0",
        "id": "prompt_txn_1792523154_ad45a9be4329",
        "result": { "value": "482910" }
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Verification (worker.protocol) ​

bash
# Validates HTTP Multiplexing, SSE framing, 401/502 translation, In-Band TOTP Resume & Sentinel Reaper rollback:
$ fiber e2e gateway.worker.protocol
