Effect 4.0.1 HttpServerRequest.toURL source code forwarded headers x-forwarded-proto Host
💡 Result:
In **Effect 4.0.1**, `HttpServerRequest.toURL` uses the request’s **`host` header** (falling back to `localhost`) and sets the scheme to **`https` only when `x-forwarded-proto` is exactly `https`**; otherwise it uses `http`. Invalid URL construction returns `Option.none`. ([effect.website](https://effect.website/docs/v4/api/effect/http/HttpServerRequest?utm_source=openai))
So `X-Forwarded-Host` is **not read directly by `toURL`**. Effect’s `HttpMiddleware.xForwardedHeaders` can rewrite the `host` header from `X-Forwarded-Host`; apply that middleware before calling `toURL` if you want the forwarded host reflected. ([effect.website](https://effect.website/docs/v4/api/effect/http/HttpMiddleware?utm_source=openai))
The `4.0.1` release points to commit `460272d`; the API docs confirm the behavior, though they aren’t pinned to that tag. ([github.com](https://github.com/Effect-TS/effect/releases))

Trust OAuth origins only at a configured proxy boundary.
requestUrls uses Host and X-Forwarded-Proto without checking their source. A caller that reaches the routes directly can make discovery advertise a chosen issuer and resource; the derived issuer also feeds OAuth iss values. Accept these headers only from a trusted proxy, or reject hosts outside the configured origins. The server binds to loopback by default, so this applies only when an untrusted caller can reach the listener directly.

Not changing this, on purpose; leaving the thread open for a maintainer.
The issuer and resource follow the origin the request reached, so one server answers over loopback, Tailscale Serve and a T3 Connect tunnel without configuring its public origins. Pinning them to configured origins would break that.
A forged Host only misleads the client that sends it:
- Every derived URL lives in the response to that same request, and the OAuth responses are
no-store. - An authorization code is bound to the resource it was issued for. The token exchange compares it with the origin of its own request, so a code issued under one Host cannot be redeemed under another.
- Sessions issued here carry no origin, and
/mcpchecks the bearer token, not the Host.
The server binds to loopback by default. Anyone who can reach it directly and forge Host is already able to call it.
One open item: whether T3 Connect forwards the original Host and X-Forwarded-Proto unchanged still needs confirming on a real tunnel.

@juliusmarminge, thanks for clarifying the design. Request-derived origins let one server support loopback, Tailscale Serve, and T3 Connect without a configured public-origin list. My finding did not establish how a forged origin would affect another client or bypass authorization.
I won’t press for the proposed change. The thread can remain open for maintainer review, as requested. The live T3 Connect check for Host and X-Forwarded-Proto remains unconfirmed.

Learning: In pingdotgg/t3code, apps/server/src/auth/McpOAuth.ts intentionally derives OAuth issuer and resource URLs from the request origin so one server can support loopback, Tailscale Serve, and T3 Connect without configuring public origins. Do not recommend a configured-origin allowlist solely because the URLs use Host and X-Forwarded-Proto; identify a concrete cross-client impact or authorization bypass before treating this design as a security finding.

The open item is now confirmed on a real T3 Connect tunnel on a personal relay stage. The server receives Host: <stage>-<digest>.t3coderelay.com (the public hostname, unchanged), X-Forwarded-Proto: https exactly, and no X-Forwarded-Host. The tunnel ingress has no httpHostHeader override. So the issuer is the tunnel origin, and Claude Code signed in end to end over the tunnel. Details and screenshots are under "End to end over T3 Connect" in the PR description. Still leaving the thread open for a maintainer, as above.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@juliusmarminge, thanks for the clarification. Your live test answers the remaining T3 Connect forwarding question: the public Host and exact X-Forwarded-Proto: https produce the tunnel-origin issuer without X-Forwarded-Host. You also confirmed that Claude Code completed sign-in end to end.
This supports the request-derived-origin design discussed above. I won’t request a code change. The thread should remain open for maintainer review, as requested.

Learning: In pingdotgg/t3code, the author tested MCP OAuth over a real T3 Connect tunnel on a personal relay stage. The server received the unchanged public Host (<stage>-<digest>.t3coderelay.com), exactly X-Forwarded-Proto: https, and no X-Forwarded-Host. The tested tunnel ingress had no httpHostHeader override. apps/server/src/auth/McpOAuth.ts therefore derived the tunnel-origin issuer, and Claude Code completed OAuth sign-in end to end. Do not assume X-Forwarded-Host is required for this tested forwarding configuration.

Adds a narrow MCP OAuth authorization server so agents T3 Code did not launch (e.g. Claude Code in a terminal) can sign in to /mcp: RFC 9728/8414 discovery derived from the request origin, stateless registration for loopback redirects only, an approval page that takes a pairing code or an access:write browser session, and PKCE S256 code exchange. Sign-in issues an ordinary environment session with subject mcp-client and a signed runtime-mode ceiling. Only /mcp accepts it; the HTTP API and WebSocket reject that subject so an agent cannot act above its ceiling. The /mcp 401 advertises OAuth only for non-provider tokens, so agents T3 Code launched are never sent into a browser sign-in. The web dev proxy forwards /mcp and keeps the browser's Host for OAuth paths. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The approval page offered one-click to any browser session with access:write, letting an access-only session hand an agent thread control it does not hold. It now also requires orchestration:read and orchestration:operate, matching the pairing-code path. Page errors now show their description instead of an empty alert. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The MCP authorize step rendered its own bare HTML form, which looked nothing like the rest of T3 Code. A valid sign-in request now redirects to /connect-agent in the web app, styled like /pair. The page posts the request back to /oauth/mcp/approval for what to show and to /oauth/mcp/decision to approve or deny; the server re-validates the request on every call. An untrusted client or redirect still gets a plain server error page and is never redirected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The approval page offered only a runtime-mode ceiling, so every outside agent could start, message and stop threads. It now offers Read only as the first (and default) choice, followed by the four modes. A read-only grant issues an mcp-client session holding orchestration:read alone, and a pairing code with only that scope can approve it. On /mcp such a client passes only tools declared McpToolAccess.reads; every declaration that changes something refuses it before the handler runs. Scheduled task listings leave out webhook URLs for it, since posting to one starts a run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A pairing code that lacks the scopes for the chosen access is spent by the check, like a wrong-scope code everywhere else. Say so, so the user creates a new one instead of retrying it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The discovery, registration, approval and token endpoints were raw router routes with hand-rolled JSON parsing. They are now an `mcpOAuth` group on EnvironmentHttpApi, so requests, responses and OAuth errors are typed in contracts, and the /connect-agent page calls them through the typed client instead of fetch. The approval decision is a tagged union (deny, pairing code, or one-click browser session) rather than loose form fields. `authorize` stays a raw handler on the group: it answers a redirect to the approval page, or a plain error page for an unverified client or redirect. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A browser session could one-click approve only if it held every scope an agent might get, so an administrator session without orchestration:operate had to enter a pairing code even for a read-only grant. One-click is now offered to any session that manages access and can read threads, and the approval checks the chosen access against the session's scopes, the same rule a pairing code follows. The approval details list what one click may grant, so /connect-agent shows the pairing-code field for anything else instead of offering an Approve that is then refused.

Scheduled sync of 34 upstream commits (to 740bda4). Upstream pingdotgg#16335 makes every T3 MCP tool declare its callers and pingdotgg#16336 lets outside agents sign in with OAuth, so the fork's session_* tools and wait_for_background_commands now go through McpToolAccess: the writing ones act as the calling thread (live run required), the reading ones read as it, and a thread-less OAuth client is refused. The attached-worktree guard sits on ws.ts's new group-middleware handler, and "New thread in..." keeps its count on pingdotgg#16628's reordered list.

Merges `pingdotgg/t3code` `cd41c4ada0` into the fork: 81 upstream commits since `442735897f`, the base pingdotgg#207 landed. > [!IMPORTANT] > **Merge with "Create a merge commit", not squash.** Squashing pingdotgg#207 broke the merge base and `main` had to be force-pushed back to a real merge commit. A squash here would do the same. ## What changed in the merge - **Counts:** 853 files landed against 853 in the upstream range. The fork delta is 765 files. The [tracker entry](docs/fork/upstream-merge-log.md) explains the three files on each side that differ. - **Conflicts:** 36 files, resolved by the verdicts `preflight.mjs` printed. The ones that needed more than a mechanical resolution: - **Preview:** upstream now runs the browser on the environment server (pingdotgg#15328). The fork's iframe preview is kept beside it in `PreviewView`, `ThreadPreviewMiniPlayer` and `PreviewPanel`. The frame picker now uses upstream's per-pick token for `pickActiveRef`. - **Permissions:** upstream split its coarse scopes into granular ones (pingdotgg#9786–pingdotgg#9791). Upstream's new gates are combined with the fork's `FEATURES` gates in Sidebar, ProviderSettingsPanel, ChatMarkdown, ProjectSettingsPanel, GitActionsControl and others. - **`ws.ts` instrumentation:** upstream replaced `observeRpcEffect` with an `RpcInstrumentation` middleware. The fork's 15 stub handlers for Moatless-only methods are unwrapped, and those methods are added to `RPC_AGGREGATES`. - **`ChatView.tsx`:** the woke, parked and resume-compaction banners are dropped, because upstream deleted them. The fork's sandbox-commands banner and the path that runs a script from a draft thread are kept. - **`runOnSettle`** (pingdotgg#16290): carried on the script. The editor has no switch for it because Moatless runs no script on settle. - **Unsupported methods:** `preview.adjust`, `preview.clearProfile` and `terminal.observe` now declare `UnsupportedMethodError`. - **Fork tests:** five upstream tests were adapted to the fork's deltas, each with a `Fork:` comment. - **Docs:** - [`gaps.md`](docs/fork/gaps.md) adds entries for the granular scopes and for MCP sign-in, and extends the scripts, methods and settlement entries. - The auth bootstrap suite entry is struck, because that file now passes 36 of 36. - [`upstream-merge-log.md`](docs/fork/upstream-merge-log.md) has the 2026-10-07 entry. ## Usable as-is - Upstream's granular permission gates work today. Moatless sends no `permissions` record, so `sessionGrantsScope` falls back to `legacyParents`, which grant every new scope (pingdotgg#10298). - File preview errors show the path that was attempted (pingdotgg#15628). - The diff panel keeps the chosen scope while a turn runs (pingdotgg#16571). - The desktop browser no longer gives two screenshots the same filename (pingdotgg#14784). - Assorted MCP fixes on upstream's server have no effect here. ## Unsupported in Moatless / needs implementation - **Server-hosted browser** (pingdotgg#15328): `preview.adjust` and `preview.clearProfile`, and the `serverBrowser` capability. Moatless doesn't report the capability, so the web client keeps its frame runtime. - **Passive terminal observation** (pingdotgg#9791): `terminal.observe`. A client sends it only to a session with `terminal:read` and without `terminal:operate`. Moatless grants operate to every session. - **Granular scopes:** Moatless can't grant less than everything. It needs to send a `permissions` record from `session_state` in `crates/t3code/src/rpc/config.rs`. - **MCP OAuth for outside agents** (pingdotgg#16336, pingdotgg#16718, pingdotgg#16335): the `/connect-agent` consent page and "Copy MCP URL" (pingdotgg#16337). The copy button is already hidden by `FEATURES.connections`. The route is reachable only by a typed URL. - **Run a project action when a worktree thread settles** (pingdotgg#16290): needs `runOnSettle` stored on the script in `crates/t3code/src/projection/project.rs`, and a backend that runs the script on settle. ## Backend behavior to consider reproducing in Moatless - **pingdotgg#16761:** a thread settles as soon as a client sees its PR merge, without waiting for the server's poll. - **pingdotgg#16762:** settled threads stop polling their pull requests. Moatless polls linked PRs and would save the same requests. - **pingdotgg#16290:** running a designated script when a worktree thread settles, such as a teardown. ## Verification `verify.mjs --sequential` passed every check except `test`: duplicate-adds, tripwires, resolution-check, unsupported-methods, lockfile, fmt, lint, typecheck and build. - **web:** five tests failed because upstream's new tests don't know the fork's deltas. After the fixes, `--only test --package @t3tools/web` passes all 496 files and 6,523 tests. - **server:** four files fail because of the sandbox, not the code: - `OpenCodeServerLedger`, `AcpAdapterV2` and `OrchestratorReplayFixtures` fail as they did in the 2026-10-06 merge. The sandbox doesn't reap detached process groups, and its `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` leaks into an auth error message. - The new `ServerBrowserPage.test.ts` needs Playwright's `chromium_headless_shell-1223`, which the sandbox lacks. - The fork's only changes to the server areas these tests cover are 12 lines in `Orchestrator.ts` and its testkit, which none of the failing tests touch. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --- Moatless task: https://moatless.soaplabstest.com/tasks/b9b339cd-86dd-464d-8b37-1dd4a0ff4be7

Part 2 of 3 for MCP sign-in from outside T3 Code (access declarations → this → copy URL). Based on #16335. Replaces #15220, which GitHub would not move off its old stack.
Problem
Only agents T3 Code launches can use the
t3-codeMCP server:/mcpaccepts nothing but in-memory per-thread provider tokens. A user can't point their own Claude Code (or any MCP client) at an environment, locally or on a remote box over T3 Connect or Tailscale.Fix
A narrow MCP OAuth authorization server (MCP spec 2025-11-25) in front of the existing
/mcp:/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource[/mcp]and/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server, with issuer and resource derived from the request's Host andX-Forwarded-Proto, so one server answers over loopback, Tailscale Serve and a T3 Connect tunnel. The/mcp401 carriesresource_metadata./oauth/mcp/register): stateless. The client id is the signed client metadata, so unauthenticated callers can't grow server state. Only loopback redirect URIs are accepted, matched on any port (RFC 8252). An https redirect would let anyone mail the owner an approval link that delivers the code to their own server. (Hosted agents with https callbacks: feat(server): hosted agents like ChatGPT can sign in to the T3 MCP server #16718.)/oauth/mcp/authorizevalidates the request and redirects to/connect-agent, a web-app page styled like/pair. The page posts the request back to/oauth/mcp/approval(what to show, whether one click is allowed) and/oauth/mcp/decision(approve or deny), and the server re-validates it on every call. The user enters a one-time pairing code (Settings → Connections ort3 auth pairing create), or approves in one click when the browser already holds a session on that origin withaccess:writeandorchestration:read(CSRF-bound). Either way, the access chosen is checked against the scopes the code or session holds. T3 Connect's proof-bound codes are refused without being spent. The user picks what the agent may do: Read only (the default) or a runtime-mode ceiling from Supervised to Full access. A scope picker would not help here, because every MCP tool is orchestration andorchestration:operatealone would let the agent start a full-access thread and act through it. An unverified client or redirect gets a plain server error page (CSPframe-ancestors 'none',no-store), never a redirect./oauth/mcp/token): authorization code + PKCE S256 +resourcecheck, issuing an ordinary environment session with subjectmcp-clientand a 30-day TTL. A read-only grant holdsorchestration:readalone (a pairing code with only that scope can approve it). Any other grant holdsorchestration:read orchestration:operateand a signedrtcruntime-mode-ceiling claim. It shows up in Settings → Connections and is revoked there.EnvironmentAuth.authenticateTokenand the WebSocket-ticket path rejectmcp-clientsessions, so an agent token can't reach the HTTP API or RPC surface around its ceiling./mcpaccepts them throughauthenticateMcpClient(bearer only, never cookies)./mcpa read-only client passes only tools declaredMcpToolAccess.reads(from the bottom PR); every declaration that changes something refuses it before the handler runs. Scheduled task listings leave out webhook URLs for it, since posting to one starts a run.resource_metadatafor tokens that don't look like provider tokens, so a T3-launched agent whose token died gets a plaininvalid_token.mcpOAuthgroup on the environmentHttpApi, so their requests, responses and OAuth errors are schemas in contracts and/connect-agentcalls them through the typed client. The approval decision is a tagged union (deny, pairing code, one-click browser session).authorizeis a raw handler on that group because it answers a redirect or a plain HTML error page./mcpand keeps the browser's Host for/mcp,/oauthand/.well-known, so issuer and resource match what the client fetched.docs/internals/environment-auth.md: the "not a general-purpose OAuth server" line is replaced by themcp-clientaudience section.Verification
