Adding T3 Code to an assistant app like Poke or Claude took four manual steps. You had to find the public T3 Connect URL, get a pairing code from Settings or the CLI, pick the access level twice, and avoid LAN addresses that a cloud app cannot reach.

Now Cmd-K has Use T3 Code in another app (MCP), and Settings → Sharing & access has the same button. It checks T3 Connect first, then walks App → Access → Connect. The code it gives carries the level you picked, so the sign-in page does not ask again.

App, Access and Connect steps

OpenClaw commands, Hermes Agent's other way, and Something else

The T3 Connect gate screens

The wizard at phone width

How it works

  • Gate. It is the only screen until the environment answers on its T3 Connect tunnel. It asks you to sign in or turn T3 Connect on, or it shows t3 connect link, the policy reason, a missing View relay permission, or offline. Turning on works only from this desktop's own backend. The URL is the tunnel's hostname (new tunnelHostname on the link state) or a saved machine's cloudflare_tunnel relay address. A publish-only manual address never counts.
  • Apps. One table in apps/web/src/components/mcp/mcpApps.ts. Poke and Claude open with T3 Code filled in. ChatGPT copies the URL. Grok Bot, Muse and Instinct copy a message. OpenClaw and Hermes Agent get commands. Every link is https. Gemini stays hidden until #31308.
  • Level-bound codes. Get code mints AUTO-XXXXXXXXXXXX (prefixes READ, SUPERVISED, EDITS, AUTO, FULL, with one parser in contracts). The server derives the scopes from the level, checks that the issuing session holds them, and stores mcp-approval:<level> in the existing subject column (no migration). The shared consume UPDATE refuses those subjects unless the MCP sign-in opts in, and it matches the exact level there. So Supervised, Auto-accept edits and Auto stay apart, though they share scopes. Browser sessions, token exchange and peer linking refuse these codes and leave them unspent. They never show as pairing links or in live updates, and policy cleanup revokes them. A server without the new mcpApprovalCodes capability gets "Update T3 Code on ".
  • Sign-in page. The code field always shows, and a typed code is always checked as a code. A level-bound code hides the picker and the button says Approve Auto. The page now names the app and where access goes.
  • Shared T3 Connect helper. resolveT3ConnectTurnOn decides where turning on works, for the wizard and for Settings. "This desktop's own backend" is a backend this desktop started and signed in to with its bootstrap credential. So a WSL backend on a distro IP counts, and a machine saved by its LAN address does not. Settings now shows t3 connect link for a remote environment, instead of a switch whose link proof the server refuses.
  • Sharing & access opens on the environment that a link names (the wizard's Manage access). Its folded headers wrap on a phone instead of covering the title.
  • Docs. A new section in docs/user/outside-agents.md, and the line that said sign-in defaults to Auto is fixed.

Important

One global change: one-click approval with an empty code field now starts at Read only instead of Auto. This applies to every MCP sign-in, not only this flow. A typed plain code still starts at Auto, capped by policy.

Sign-in page. Left: before. Middle: after, with an empty field. Right: after, with a level-bound code.

Sign-in page before and after

Changes from the plan

  • Hermes Agent gets one command: hermes mcp add … --auth oauth --connect-timeout 315. add signs in on its first connection. hermes mcp login after it would clear that sign-in and need a second code. The manual steps still use login, after a config.yaml edit.
  • OpenClaw gets four commands: openclaw gateway stop, mcp add, mcp login, then gateway start. Its MCP commands refuse to write while the Gateway runs.
  • Grok Bot opens x.ai/bot. The app has no web chat, and its prompt links need a Bot id.

Proof

vp run check:changed passes on the rebased head. Focused tests cover the level-bound consume (mutation-checked: removing the subject clause or the peer-link refusal fails the test), the gate states, the link builders and the turn-on rule. One pass in the real dev app: a real Get code mint approved a real OAuth sign-in on the new page (the server logged access: 'auto', method: 'pairing-code'), the token exchange worked, and the pairing list stayed unchanged. The dev build has no T3 Connect config, so the gate result was faked locally for the screenshots only.

Follow-ups (not in this PR)

  • Client ID metadata document (CIMD) support. T3 Code supports only dynamic registration (/oauth/mcp/register).
  • Copy MCP URL prefers the relay address since #32937. For a publish-only link, that address is a local manual one.
  • Gemini OAuth compatibility (#31308).
  • Reopen the wizard after the T3 Connect sign-in redirect.
  • A native mobile wizard, and the URL in t3 connect status or t3_environment_read.

Release checks for Theo

Nobody could sign in to these apps from the agent's box. Do one real sign-in each before calling a tile done:

  • Poke: Open in Poke, create the integration, approve with the code.
  • Claude: Open in Claude, add the connector, approve. The Free plan allows one custom connector.
  • ChatGPT: Copy URL and open ChatGPT, add the custom MCP server with OAuth, install it, approve. Check plan limits.
  • Grok Bot: send the copied message to a Bot, approve.
  • Muse (unverified): send the copied message, and see how its connector signs in.
  • Instinct (unverified): send the copied message, or use Settings → MCP connections.
  • OpenClaw: run the four commands, approve.
  • Hermes Agent: run the command, approve within its 315 s connect timeout.
  • Gemini stays hidden.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The MCP wizard adds level-bound sign-in codes and guided app setup. Human review is required because existing code-free approvals now default to Read only instead of Auto, and the wizard introduces five lint-suppression directives.

Walkthrough

The change adds access-level-bound MCP approval codes and a web wizard for connecting MCP apps. It also adds cloud-link hostname and linkability data, reachability checks, and controls that expose setup entry points and T3 Connect state.

Changes: MCP app setup and approval

Layer / File(s)Summary
Approval-code contracts and credential lifecycle
packages/contracts/src/auth.ts, apps/server/src/auth/*, apps/server/src/persistence/AuthPairingLinks.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/peerPairingCode.ts
Contracts define access levels, credential inputs and results, and approval-code parsing. Server and client code issue and consume access-bound credentials. These credentials are excluded from pairing-link listings and events.
OAuth approval and sign-in interface
apps/server/src/auth/McpOAuth.ts, apps/web/src/components/auth/ConnectAgentSurface*, apps/server/src/auth/McpOAuth.test.ts
OAuth approval uses the access level resolved from a valid code and rejects these codes for peer-link clients. The sign-in interface displays code-bound access and resolves approval decisions from the code or browser session.
Cloud-link state and readiness
packages/contracts/src/environment*, apps/server/src/cloud/*, apps/server/src/environment/ServerEnvironment.ts, apps/web/src/cloud/*
Cloud-link state includes the tunnel hostname and linkableHere. The web app adds reachability checks and resolves managed-tunnel and turn-on state.
MCP setup wizard and app handoffs
apps/web/src/components/mcp/*
The wizard checks setup readiness, presents app-specific handoff instructions, and can mint an approval code for the selected access level. App catalog and gate tests cover handoff links and gate outcomes.
Setup entry points and supporting settings
apps/web/src/components/CommandPalette.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/*, apps/web/src/routes/__root.tsx, apps/web/src/state/peerPairingCode.ts, docs/user/outside-agents.md
The command palette and authorized-clients settings open the wizard. Environment selection and T3 Connect settings use shared readiness state. Documentation describes setup and approval codes.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: External image Low · previous review e6d31

The setup flow can be delayed or, after a failed unlink and relink, show an outdated connection URL. A conditional older-server compatibility risk also remains; these warrant owner awareness.

Explanation

The title "feat(web,server): use T3 Code in another app (MCP)" names the main change: a guided flow for connecting assistant apps to T3 Code over MCP. The changeset adds the MCP wizard, level-bound approval codes, server consume logic, and the T3 Connect gate, all of which match this title. It is a conventional commit with a plain-language subject and a concise scope. It does not list every detail, which is expected.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is thorough and covers the problem (four manual steps to add T3 Code to an assistant app), the change (MCP wizard in Cmd-K and Settings, level-bound approval codes, sign-in page changes, shared T3 Connect helper, docs), and verification (check:changed passes, focused tests, mutation check, one real dev-app OAuth sign-in, and clearly stated unchecked release checks). It also flags a global behavior change (empty-code one-click approval now starts at Read only) and lists follow-ups. Gaps against the template: the template's 'Problem' and 'Change' headings are not used as such, and the 'Scope and approval' section is missing. The description does not link a triaged bug issue or a maintainer approval discussion, and it does not explain why a prior issue is not needed for a feature of this size. The description also does not state the model and harness in the template's form, although it does say the description was created with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code running in T3 Code. Screenshots are present for UI changes, which satisfies the template's before/after requirement. Because the template's required scope-and-approval section is absent, the description is not fully complete, but the rest is mostly complete.

Resolution

Add a 'Scope and approval' section that links the triaged issue or the maintainer-approved discussion, including the approval comment. The PR is a sizeable new feature (a new wizard, a new approval-code flow, and a global sign-in default change), so it needs explicit maintainer approval of direction and scope. Alternatively, explain why it qualifies for an exemption under CONTRIBUTING.md. Map the existing content to the template's 'Problem', 'Change', and 'Verification' headings, or confirm that the headings are not required. Keep the model and harness note at the end, as the template asks.

Verify that the minted credential is level-bound.

The doc comment on Line 110 says servers without mcpApprovalCodes ignore the level. The AuthPairingCredentialResult.access field is documented as omitted by older servers. If an older server handles this request, it ignores access and uses AuthStandardClientScopes. It then returns a plain code with all standard scopes and no access.

The command still returns that result as an approval code. The wizard shows it as "Code to approve ", but the code is not bound to that level. The dialog gate normally prevents this. The command itself has no guard, so a stale or missing capability check would let it through.

Fail the command when the result does not echo the requested level.

Show the managed ceiling for level-bound codes.

If a code above the ceiling is issued through the pairing API, this page shows its full access level without the policy limit. MCP requests still enforce the ceiling, so requests for the displayed level can be refused. Show the ceiling message for these codes.

Not changing this. The wizard cannot mint a level above the managed ceiling: those levels are disabled with the policy reason (useGrantableLevels in UseInAnotherAppDialog.tsx). A code above it can only come from a direct pairing API call, and the server still caps every MCP request at the ceiling, as you note. That makes it a display-only edge case, so it stays out of this PR.

@t3dotgg Understood. The wizard limits the access levels it offers, and the server enforces the managed ceiling. I’ll leave the display-only edge case out of this PR.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for it?

Avoid waiting for readiness when reading link state.

If /ready stalls, inspectConnector can delay linkState and preference updates for five seconds even when /config returns the hostname. This can also delay the wizard gate. Read the hostname without waiting for the unused readiness result.

Not changing this. /ready and /config come from the same local cloudflared metrics server, and inspectConnector reads them in parallel (ManagedEndpointRuntime.ts:887). If that server stalls, a /config-only read stalls the same way. Each read is capped at 5 s by CONNECTOR_READINESS_REQUEST_TIMEOUT, and the web client's link state atom keeps serving its cached value while it refreshes.

@t3dotgg Understood. The parallel reads, timeouts, and cached refresh limit the impact. Thanks for explaining the trade-off; I won’t pursue this change.
