Connectors TASK-344.

The gap

A hosted-MCP connect can be refused at the callback: the provider granted scopes Commonly didn't ask for (unrequested_scope), or the exchange reported a scope Commonly can't read (exchange_invalid_scope). The callback then tries to withdraw that grant at the vendor. When it can't, the grant stays live at the vendor. That happens when the entry has no RFC 7009 endpoint (Linear, Supabase, Airtable, Atlassian, GitHub), when there's no token, or when the vendor revoke fails. The person saw only "the connection wasn't saved", while the provider still listed Commonly as connected.

Change

Backend (hostedMcpConnect.ts, installableCatalogService.ts)

  • revokeRefusedGrant now reports whether it left the grant live. The refused redirect carries entryId and revokeAt (the entry's own revoke page) in exactly those cases. A grant that was withdrawn carries neither.
  • The installables catalogue projects each hosted entry's revokePage. It is static entry data and already exposed through hiddenConnections.

Frontend

  • The callback error effect captures entryId and revokeAt, then strips both from the URL, along with the existing params.
  • A refused connect has no row to check against, so the catalogue entry is the authority. The page is linked only when revokeAt equals the entry's revokePage and passes safeProviderRevokePage. Another host, the provider's host on a different path, and a javascript: URL are all refused and never rendered.
  • The link sits inside the same role="alert" as its notice, with target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer".
  • The copy follows the existing per-entry revoke copy (PER_ENTRY_REVOKE_COPY):
    • Linear lists an MCP grant.
    • Revoking Sentry's ends every client of its MCP app.
    • Removing Supabase's disconnects the whole organization.
    • Any other provider gets the generic line.

Strings (en / zh-CN)

key en zh-CN
connectors.hostedMcpRefusedStillListed {{provider}} may still list Commonly as connected. Remove it there. {{provider}} 可能仍显示 Commonly 已连接,请到那里移除。
…_linear Linear may still list this as an MCP grant under its connected apps. Revoke it there. Linear 的已连接应用中可能仍有这项 MCP 授权,请到那里撤销。
…_sentry Sentry may still list its MCP server app as connected. Revoking it there ends every client that server holds for the account, not only Commonly. Sentry 中可能仍显示它的 MCP 服务器应用已连接。在那里撤销,会断开此账号下该服务器的所有客户端,不只是 Commonly。
…_supabase Commonly may still be authorized in the Supabase organization you chose. Removing it under Authorized apps disconnects everyone who connected that organization. Commonly 可能仍在你刚才选择的 Supabase 组织中获得授权。在“已授权应用”中移除,会断开所有连接该组织的成员。

The link reuses connectors.hostedMcpReviewAuthorization, including its existing _supabase variant. The zh-CN strings were checked against the glossary in review: 你, half-width spaces around Latin, no calques. Two wordings came from that pass: 你刚才选择的 and Sentry 中…它的.

Proof

  • Backend: three callback tests cover a vendor revoke that returns 503, an entry with no endpoint, and a scope that can't be read. Each redirect carries entryId and revokeAt, and the existing success test pins that a withdrawn grant carries neither. The catalogue test asserts revokePage and goes red without the field. Results: 49/49 and 9/9, tsc clean.
  • Frontend: five tests cover the linked page, the Supabase org-wide warning, and three forged values.
    • Reverse checks: dropping the catalogue equality, the per-entry context, or the query cleanup each turns a test red. Loosening the check to a same-origin compare turns the provider-host-on-another-path case red.
    • Results: 2269/2269, tsc clean.
  • Review: one subagent review (Tier 2: callback, link from a URL param, strings), PASS. Its nits (Supabase wording, Sentry zh wording, the two extra forged cases) are applied.
  • Merges: clean against main and against feat(connectors): operator-key hosted-MCP mode, one key per agent, spent only on that agent's turn (TASK-330) #3213, which touches hostedMcpConnect.ts too.

HEAD: fd2f128 — GATE: PASS

This is the one review (D218): a fresh Tier 2 subagent review of the callback, a link rendered from a URL param, and zh-CN strings. Its nits were applied before this head.

  1. Backend. revokeRefusedGrant returns manualRevoke exactly when the grant may still be live:

    • no endpoint or no token (hostedMcpConnect.ts:113);
    • the vendor revoke throws (:123), which covers a non-ok response, an unadvertised endpoint, and invalid_client.

    It returns {} after a successful revoke. The page is static https entry data, and callbackRedirect encodes it with URLSearchParams.set, so no vendor value reaches the URL.

  2. Catalogue. revokePage is projected only for hosted entries (installableCatalogService.ts:176). The same value was already exposed through hiddenConnections.

  3. Frontend. The link needs exact equality with the catalogue's revokePage plus safeProviderRevokePage. Another host, the provider's host on another path, and javascript: are each pinned by a test, and an origin-compare loosening goes red. The query is stripped every time, including when the catalogue fails to load. The connected effect is unchanged.

  4. Page. callbackRevoke is gated on hostedMcpCallbackError, which leads errorText, so the link only sits beside its own notice. It uses target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer".

  5. Strings. Linear, Sentry and Supabase match the facts in the existing hostedMcpManualRevoke_* lines, and the generic line adds nothing. zh-CN follows the glossary: 你, half-width spaces, no 翻译腔.

GATE: PASS

Walkthrough

When vendor revocation is unavailable or fails for a refused hosted MCP grant, the callback can include the entry ID and provider revoke page. The frontend checks these details against the hosted catalog before showing provider-specific guidance and a revoke link.

Preserve a non-linked revoke warning when catalog loading fails.

When /api/installables fails, hostedCatalog remains null. The callback effect removes entryId and revokeAt before validation, so the user sees only the fixed refusal copy. A visibility retry can recover the notice after a later successful load, but it does not provide guidance during the outage, and a reload loses the pending values. Show generic non-linked guidance that the provider grant may still be live. Keep the provider link behind the existing catalog and safety validation. Add a test for this failed-catalog path.

Update the callback effect gated by pendingCallbackRevoke, loading, and
hostedCatalog so a failed catalog load still shows generic guidance that the
provider grant may remain active; keep the provider link hidden until the
existing catalog and safety validations pass. Add a test covering the
failed-catalog path.

…grant may still be live

TASK-344. When a provider grants scopes Commonly didn't ask for (or the
exchange reports a scope it can't read), the callback refuses the connect
and tries to withdraw the grant at the vendor. When it can't (no RFC 7009
endpoint, no token, or the vendor revoke fails), the person used to see
only "the connection wasn't saved" while the vendor still listed Commonly
as connected.

- Backend: the refused redirect carries `entryId` + `revokeAt` (the entry's
  revoke page) exactly when the grant was left live; a withdrawn grant
  carries neither. The catalogue now projects each hosted entry's
  `revokePage`.
- Frontend: the callback error effect captures and strips both params; the
  page links `revokeAt` only when it equals the catalogue entry's
  `revokePage` and passes safeProviderRevokePage. The link opens in a new
  tab with noopener noreferrer, inside the same alert as the notice.
- Copy follows the per-entry revoke copy: Linear lists an MCP grant, Sentry's
  revoke ends every client of its MCP app, and Supabase's disconnects the
  whole organization, so those three say so.

Reverse checks: dropping the catalogue equality, the per-entry context, or
the query cleanup each turns a frontend test red; the backend redirect
tests are red without `manualRevoke`, the catalogue test without the field.
Frontend 2269/2269, backend 49/49 + 9/9, tsc clean on both.

On CodeRabbit's body-only point at fd2f128 (useChannelConnectors.ts:189, keep a non-linked warning when the catalogue fails to load): declined for this PR, with the reason. The callback only reaches this path after the server's own revoke attempt failed. It then needs /api/installables to fail in the same moment, and the connectors page builds its tiles from that response, so in that outage the page is already empty. Without the catalogue there's no provider name for the warning to carry, so it would say "a service may still list Commonly" and name nothing. The refusal message itself still shows. If the catalogue fetch turns out to fail in practice, the cheaper fix is to keep entryId and revokeAt until a catalogue loads, rather than adding an unnamed warning. The rebase onto #3207 at 12c3cfe changed only the toolModel import line in ConnectorsPage.tsx.
