fix: MCP client lifecycle - thin core wiring, OAuth honesty, remote support#1777
Conversation
…upport Implements comprehensive fixes for MCP client integration addressing broken imports, misleading OAuth documentation, and missing remote server support. Adds thin wiring between config and agents following protocol-driven architecture. Tier A - Critical Fixes: - Fix MCPConfig.to_mcp_instance() import from praisonaiagents.mcp - Mark OAuth CLI commands as experimental until real implementation - Update doctor checks to use canonical ~/.praisonai/mcp/ paths Tier B - Core Agent Value: - Add MCPClientProtocol interface for extensibility - Create load_mcp_tools() helper for agent-centric tool loading - Wire tool filtering with allowed_tools/disabled_tools parameters - Add safe environment policy (baseline + explicit config only) - Prepare tool name collision handling framework Tier C - Wrapper Improvements: - Add remote server support to mcp test/sync CLI commands - Create YAML MCP configuration example Tests: All smoke tests pass, no performance regressions (13ms import) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Estimated code review effort🎯 4 (Complex) | ⏱️ ~60 minutes Rationale: The PR spans heterogeneous changes across 5 main areas (MCP core filtering/env, public API/loader, CLI remote/local branching, config paths, tests), each requiring distinct reasoning. Core logic (filtering across transports, safe env construction) is moderate-density with new helpers. CLI changes involve conditional branching and HTTP interaction. All areas are tightly coupled (tests validate filtering, CLI calls loader, loader uses MCP with filters), so review cannot be partitioned fully. Import fixes and path canonicalization add minor overhead. Comprehensive test coverage mitigates complexity somewhat. Possibly related PRs

Greptile SummaryThis PR wires MCP client lifecycle improvements across the core SDK and CLI wrapper: fixing a broken import path in
Confidence Score: 3/5Not safe to merge as-is: the safe-env whitelist silently breaks existing stdio server configs that rely on shell-exported API keys, and mcp sync drops configured auth headers for remote servers. Two concrete regressions are introduced on active code paths. The _build_safe_env whitelist strips variables like OPENAI_API_KEY that MCP servers previously received automatically, causing silent auth failures with no error surfaced to the user. Separately, mcp sync constructs the remote MCP instance without forwarding MCPRemoteConfig.headers, so any remote server requiring a bearer token or API-key header will fail to list tools during sync. src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/mcp/mcp.py (_build_safe_env env inheritance regression) and src/praisonai/praisonai/cli/commands/mcp.py (missing headers in mcp_sync remote path) Important Files Changed

MCP remote servers communicate over SSE (/sse) or HTTP streaming (/mcp), not a bare GET on the root URL. A correctly-functioning server will often return 404 or 405 for a GET to /, causing this check to report failure even though the server is operational. Conversely, any HTTP server returning 200 (a proxy, a static page, a different service on the same host) will pass the check regardless of whether MCP is actually available. Consider probing a known MCP endpoint, or downgrade the probe to a pure TCP connect check that avoids false positives and negatives.

prefix_toolsis a no-op but the API/docstring promise collision avoidance.
prefix_toolsdefaults toTrueand the docstring states tool names are prefixed "to avoid collisions," yet this block only computesserver_nameand falls throughpass. With multiple servers exposing identically named tools, callers will silently get colliding tool names while believing collisions are handled.Until prefixing is wired, consider documenting the limitation in the docstring (or downgrading the promise) so callers don't rely on protection that isn't there.

Inline comments:
In `@examples/yaml/agent-with-mcp.yaml`:
- Line 36: Remove the unsupported description field from the MCPLocalConfig
instance in the YAML (the key named "description"); either delete the
"description: \"Time and date utilities\"" entry or turn it into a YAML comment,
ensuring the YAML conforms to the MCPLocalConfig schema and only uses supported
keys for the agent configuration.
- Line 27: Remove the unsupported "description" field from the MCP config entry
(it is not part of the MCPLocalConfig schema); either delete the description key
or convert it into a YAML comment, and ensure only supported keys remain: type,
command, args, env, enabled, timeout as defined by MCPLocalConfig.
- Around line 38-47: The commented example showing
mcp.servers.<name>.tools.include and tools.exclude is misleading because the MCP
server config types (MCPLocalConfig / MCPRemoteConfig) and
ConfigSchema.from_dict() do not support a tools/include/exclude field and sync
uses mcp.get_tools() to fetch all tools; either remove this commented block
entirely or replace it with a clear note stating that per-server tool
include/exclude is unsupported for MCP servers and instruct users to filter
tools elsewhere (e.g., after mcp.get_tools()), referencing the mcp.servers,
tools.include/tools.exclude symbols and the
MCPLocalConfig/MCPRemoteConfig/ConfigSchema.from_dict()/mcp.get_tools() APIs so
maintainers can find and update the snippet.
In `@src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/mcp/mcp.py`:
- Around line 571-579: The Windows-specific safe_baseline update in mcp.py omits
SYSTEMROOT, which can break Python/child executables; modify the if block that
updates safe_baseline (the dict inside the platform.system() == 'Windows'
branch) to include 'SYSTEMROOT': os.environ.get('SYSTEMROOT', '') so the
environment baseline retains SYSTEMROOT for stdio MCP servers.
- Around line 529-535: The current filtering order removes tools present in both
allowed_tools and disabled_tools contrary to the documented precedence; change
the order so that filter_disabled_tools is applied first and then
filter_tools_by_allowlist is applied (i.e., call
filter_disabled_tools(tool_defs, self.disabled_tools) before calling
filter_tools_by_allowlist(tool_defs, self.allowed_tools)) so that allowed_tools
wins over disabled_tools; update the logic around the symbols tool_defs,
allowed_tools, disabled_tools, filter_disabled_tools and
filter_tools_by_allowlist in the mcp.MCP class accordingly.
In `@src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/mcp/protocols.py`:
- Around line 22-58: The protocol currently only exposes blocking methods
(list_tools, get_tools, call_tool, shutdown); add async counterparts on the same
protocol class so implementations can provide non-blocking I/O: define
async_list_tools (async def returning List[Dict[str, Any]]), async_get_tools
(async alias to async_list_tools), async_call_tool (async def taking name: str,
args: Dict[str, Any] and returning Any, raising on failure), and async_shutdown
(async def returning None); ensure signatures and docstrings mirror their sync
equivalents and use asyncio-friendly return types so adapters can implement both
sync and async variants consistently.
In `@src/praisonai-agents/tests/unit/test_mcp_loader.py`:
- Around line 1-125: The test file lacks a mandatory agentic end-to-end test:
add a new test function (e.g., test_agent_with_mcp_tools_end_to_end) that
imports load_mcp_tools and Agent, obtains tools via load_mcp_tools(...),
constructs an Agent instance (Agent(..., tools=tools)), calls agent.start("a
prompt that exercises MCP tools"), and asserts the returned response is a
non-empty string (isinstance(response, str) and len(response) > 0); ensure the
test handles ImportError/skips if MCP package or LLM is unavailable but
otherwise runs a real agentic call using the Agent.start method.
In `@src/praisonai/praisonai/cli/commands/mcp.py`:
- Around line 212-221: The code currently replaces the child process environment
when server.env is set (env = dict(**server.env)), causing inherited vars like
PATH to be lost; modify the logic before subprocess.Popen to create a merged
environment by copying the current process environment (os.environ) and updating
it with server.env so that server.env augments/overrides defaults rather than
replaces them, then pass that merged env into the subprocess.Popen call that
uses cmd, stdin/stdout/stderr and env.
- Around line 178-200: The generic except block is catching the explicit raise
typer.Exit(1) from the HTTP non-200 path; update the exception handlers in the
function that performs the remote check so typer.Exit is allowed to propagate:
add a specific "except typer.Exit: raise" clause before the broad "except
Exception as e" (or, alternatively, inside the generic handler re-raise when
isinstance(e, typer.Exit)); keep the existing json/non-json logging in the other
handlers and only handle non-typer exceptions in the final except block.
In `@src/praisonai/praisonai/cli/features/doctor/checks/mcp_checks.py`:
- Around line 40-45: The fallback locations list in the branch used when
praisonaiagents is not available (the variable named locations) omits the
canonical project-level MCP path; add Path.cwd() / ".praisonai" / "mcp" /
"config.json" to that locations list so it matches the main branch's
project_mcp_dir discovery logic (keep the rest of the legacy `.praison`
fallbacks intact).

Document tool include/exclude is unsupported for MCP servers
mcp.servers.<name>.tools.include / tools.exclude are not supported by the MCP server config schema (MCPLocalConfig/MCPRemoteConfig have no tools/include/exclude fields, and ConfigSchema.from_dict() ignores unknown server keys). praisonai mcp sync also fetches all tools via mcp.get_tools() with no filtering.

Honor the documented allow-over-disable precedence.

Keep SYSTEMROOT in the Windows baseline.
This environment is built from scratch. On Windows, omitting SYSTEMROOT can prevent Python and child executables from starting correctly, so stdio MCP servers may fail only on that platform.

Add async methods to the client contract.
This protocol only defines blocking I/O. In the core SDK that forces adapters to invent their own async surface or call sync MCP operations from async code. Please add async counterparts for tool listing, invocation, and shutdown so every implementation exposes the same non-blocking contract.
As per coding guidelines, "All I/O operations must have both sync and async variants; never block the event loop with sync I/O in async context; use asyncio primitives for coordination, not threading".

Critical: Missing mandatory agentic tests.
This test file contains only smoke tests (import checks, parameter acceptance, helper function validation) but no agentic tests. As per coding guidelines, "Real agentic tests are MANDATORY for every feature: Agent must call agent.start() with a real prompt, call the LLM, and produce actual text response—not just smoke tests of object construction."
While unit tests are valuable, the MCP loader feature requires at least one agentic test that:
- Creates an Agent with
tools=load_mcp_tools(...) - Calls
agent.start("some prompt requiring MCP tools") - Verifies the LLM produces a text response

🌐 Web query:
Is typer.Exit a subclass of Exception in typer 0.9.0?
💡 Result:
No. In Typer 0.9.0, typer.Exit is a subclass of click.exceptions.Exit (which itself subclasses RuntimeError), not of Exception. Typer’s docs describe using typer.Exit by raising it to terminate a command [1]. Typer implements “Exit” by re-exporting/using Click’s Exit exception (which is defined as class Exit(RuntimeError)) [2], so it’s not a direct subclass of Exception in the sense of inheriting directly from Exception; it inherits from RuntimeError instead.

Handle typer.Exit separately so it doesn’t get caught by the generic except Exception.
typer.Exit is an Exception subclass, so the raise typer.Exit(1) on HTTP non-200 (non-JSON path) is caught by except Exception as e, which then prints Failed to connect to remote server: 1 in addition to the earlier HTTP error.

Local test drops the parent environment when server.env is set.
env = dict(**server.env) if server.env else None passes only the configured vars to subprocess.Popen, which replaces (not merges) the process environment. A server whose command is e.g. npx will then lose PATH and fail with FileNotFoundError, so any server defining custom env can never pass mcp test. Merge onto a baseline env instead.

Add canonical project path to fallback branch for consistency.
The fallback branch (when praisonaiagents is not available) only includes legacy .praison paths. It's missing the canonical project-level path Path.cwd() / ".praisonai" / "mcp" / "config.json", which is included in the main branch (line 30 via project_mcp_dir).
This creates an inconsistency: if a user creates a project-level MCP config at .praisonai/mcp/config.json and praisonaiagents is not installed, the config won't be discovered.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
mcp sync drops configured headers for remote servers, silently failing authentication. MCPRemoteConfig.headers is populated from YAML (e.g. Authorization: Bearer <token>) but MCP(srv_config.url, timeout=...) is called without forwarding those headers. Any remote server requiring an API key or bearer token will return an auth error and fall into the except Exception branch with no indication that credentials were configured but ignored.
