Adds a repeatable browser acceptance path for DevSpace's MCP App surface. pnpm qa:browser now boots an isolated DevSpace server, obtains a real OAuth access token through the local auth flow, builds a pinned revision of the official MCP Apps basic-host, and drives open_workspace plus show_changes with Agent Browser.

The same runner can stay up with --serve for issue/PR reproduction, while the repo-local browser-qa skill defines the evidence standard and keeps real ChatGPT testing as the host-specific lane. CI gets a dedicated Ubuntu browser job with Agent Browser 0.38.1 and uploads screenshots, video/contact sheet, console/errors, snapshots, and the report for seven days.

Verified locally with the browser smoke, typecheck, the full test suite (147 passed, 1 platform skip), build, and package-install smoke.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4321f

While the QA host is running, an unrelated webpage could invoke authenticated DevSpace operations through its proxy. Restrict proxy origins before merging; also make shutdown reliable when a request is active.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4321f

The QA server is limited to the local machine, but while it runs, its proxy may let an unintended browser page make authenticated requests against the local project. The workflow does not change the production server.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · inferred: The new proxy grants its QA bearer authority to requests without restricting them to the intended host origin. Any client able to reach the listener can make authenticated requests to the local DevSpace server; cross-origin browser reachability remains subject to browser network policy.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Exposure is limited to a running, loopback-bound QA instance, but its bearer authority covers MCP operations against a server configured to allow the local checkout. The evidence does not establish exposure of a production service or another tenant.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A caller that can reach the proxy can send an MCP request without possessing the bearer token: the proxy inserts its token and reflects the caller’s Origin. Whether an unrelated website can complete that path in a given browser remains unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The production /mcp authentication and resource checks remain in place. The new proxy satisfies those checks on behalf of requests it forwards, while its CORS handling does not restrict requests to the intended reference-host origin or to the /mcp path.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Cleanup covers registered listeners in the ordinary path, but partial reference-host startup can leave an unregistered listener, and concurrent runs can contend over fixed mutable state. Neither condition demonstrates an additional privilege gain on the available evidence.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Restrict proxy origins to the intended reference host and forwarded routes to those required for QA; separately, give each run owned state and register listeners for cleanup as soon as they are created.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 1/5

[Medium risk] Adds a new browser-based QA workflow and test infrastructure.

Not safe to merge until the proxy access, serving-session authentication, and embedded-card checks are fixed. The interrupted-install retry issue is non-blocking.

Findings

  1. P1 Security Unrelated pages can use QA tools ▶
  2. P1 Serving session loses authentication ▶
  3. P1 Empty cards pass browser QA ▶
  4. P2 Interrupted install blocks retries ▶

Summary

Adds a browser QA runner, reference host, repository guidance, and CI coverage for open_workspace and show_changes. Before merging, restrict the authenticated proxy to the intended host, renew credentials during long-running serving sessions, and make the smoke check verify the embedded cards: empty cards currently pass. An interrupted reference-host installation can also leave retries failing until dependencies are reinstalled.

P1 security Unrelated pages can use QA tools

If a browser page can reach the local QA proxy, the proxy accepts that page’s origin, adds its own bearer token to MCP requests, and lets the page read authenticated responses. During a QA session, that exposes workspace tools, including local command execution, to an unrelated page. Reject other origins before forwarding requests; this must be fixed before merging.

How this was verified: An unrelated origin received an authenticated MCP tool list through the proxy without supplying a token.

Knowledge Base Used:

Artifacts

Evidence from the check

  • The authored command sends matching non-destructive preflight and MCP tool-list requests to the running endpoints, providing the exact reproduction.

Command output from the check

  • The executed baseline command sent requests without a bearer token directly to upstream `/mcp`; both returned HTTP 401 Unauthorized.

Command output from the check

  • The executed command sent the same untrusted-Origin requests without a bearer token through the proxy; preflight returned HTTP 204 No Content and the readable authenticated MCP result returned HTTP 200 OK.

P1 Serving session loses authentication

In --serve mode, the proxy keeps using the access token issued at startup after its one-hour lifetime ends. Later MCP calls return unauthorized, leaving the running QA host unusable until it is restarted. Renew the credential while the host remains available; this must be fixed before merging.

Knowledge Base Used: OAuth provider and credential storage

Artifacts

Evidence from the check

  • An authored script runs an untracked copy of the PR runner with a one-second token lifetime and makes identical MCP requests before and after expiry, without changing tracked files.

Command output from the check

  • The captured curl command and response show `POST /mcp` returning HTTP 200 OK with a tools list while the startup token is valid.

Command output from the check

  • The same captured curl command returns HTTP 401 Unauthorized and `Invalid or expired access token` after the startup token expires.

P1 Empty cards pass browser QA

The smoke check counts host-page iframes and “Tool Result” labels without checking either embedded card. Both checks passed when the sandbox responses for open_workspace and show_changes were replaced with empty pages, so CI can report success without verifying the views it is meant to check. Assert recognizable rendered content or a ready state in each card before merging.

Knowledge Base Used: Workspace web application

Artifacts

Browser smoke reproduction script

  • The authored script calls both tools in Chromium and compares the smoke checks with normal and empty sandbox responses.

Normal and empty-sandbox results

  • Both runs passed the smoke checks, including the run with two intercepted, empty sandbox documents.

▶ Reference-host flow with normal sandbox responses

  • The recording captures the tool flow with the normal sandbox responses.

Reference-host view with normal sandbox responses

  • The screenshot records the reference-host view from the normal-response run.

▶ Reference-host flow with empty sandbox responses

  • The recording captures the tool flow while both sandbox responses are replaced with empty documents.

Reference-host view with empty sandbox responses

  • The screenshot records the reference-host view from the empty-response run, whose smoke checks still passed.

P2 Interrupted install blocks retries

If npm ci stops after creating ext-apps/node_modules, the next run treats that directory as a completed installation. Repeated builds then fail against partial dependencies instead of repairing them, requiring a manual reinstall. This is a non-blocking reliability concern; check for a completed installation or reinstall when the cached dependencies are unusable.

Artifacts

Evidence from the check

  • This script extracted and executed the unmodified `prepareBasicHost` function against a disposable checkout, keeping the shared cache untouched.

Command output from the check

  • The captured command interrupted `npm ci` after a package appeared, then ran the source function twice; both builds failed without another install.

Command output from the check

  • The captured command completed `npm ci` in the same disposable checkout and reran the source function; the basic-host build succeeded.

Comments Outside Diff

These findings sit on lines the diff does not cover, so they could not be posted inline. Each one leaves this list once its file changes.

  • P1 QA auth proxy exposes its bearer-authenticated MCP endpoint to arbitrary web origins ▶

    • Bug
      • An untrusted Origin received a successful CORS preflight and could read a successful MCP tools/list response without supplying an Authorization header. The returned tool list includes exec_command, so a reachable malicious page could also submit tool calls under the QA token; this test deliberately did not invoke it. Browser access remains conditional on the page being able to reach localhost and on applicable browser private-network restrictions.
    • Cause
      • scripts/browser-qa.ts:240-243 accepts any Origin's preflight; lines 247-255 forward requests while unconditionally adding the QA bearer token; lines 258-264 and 285-292 reflect the request Origin in response CORS headers. The proxy listens on 127.0.0.1 at lines 48-50, limiting network exposure but not restricting origins of browser requests that can reach it.
    • Fix
      • Restrict proxy preflight and response CORS to the intended QA host Origin, reject other origins before forwarding, and avoid giving unrestricted proxy requests an ambient bearer credential. Do not treat loopback binding or the reference page's separate CORS headers as an Origin authorization check.
  • P2 Serve-mode MCP proxy retains an expiring access token ▶

    • Bug
      • An interactive --serve session works initially but later MCP calls return HTTP 401 Unauthorized (Invalid or expired access token). The configured access-token lifetime is one hour.
    • Cause
      • issueAccessToken() runs once at startup, and createAuthProxy(accessToken) injects that unchanged token into every request. The token exchange discards the refresh token.
    • Fix
      • Retain the OAuth client and refresh token, renew the access token before expiry or on an invalid-token response, and have the proxy use the current token.
  • P2 Partial npm installation prevents browser QA from recovering on retry ▶

    • Bug
      • An interrupted install left node_modules in place. Two calls to prepareBasicHost skipped installation and failed the basic-host build; reinstalling dependencies resolved the failure.
    • Cause
      • scripts/browser-qa.ts:138–145 uses access to node_modules as its only installation check, although that directory can exist before npm ci completes. The build at lines 146–149 then uses the partial installation.
    • Fix
      • Record successful installation only after npm ci completes, or reinstall when the cached installation cannot be verified.

GitHub modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps commit 82221c0c8ce7661efa6771c9d461511b1650495f examples/basic-host sandbox MCP client origin

💡 Result:

Commit `82221c0c8ce7661efa6771c9d461511b1650495f` is **“Bump version to 2.0.3”** by `ochafik`. It’s a release-version bump with dependency and audit fixes—not a change to the basic-host sandbox or MCP client origin. In `examples/basic-host/package.json`, it updates the version from `2.0.2` to `2.0.3`. ([github.com](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps/commit/82221c0c8ce7661efa6771c9d461511b1650495f))

The basic host’s sandbox uses a separate-origin outer iframe and an inner sandboxed iframe for tool UI isolation; the MCP server connection is configured separately (default: `http://localhost:3001/mcp`). ([github.com](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps/blob/main/examples/basic-host/README.md?utm_source=openai))

💡 Result:

At commit `82221c0c8ce7661efa6771c9d461511b1650495f`, the `basic-host` example uses a **double-iframe sandbox**: the host loads an outer proxy iframe, which embeds the tool UI in an inner sandboxed iframe. Messages are relayed through the proxy, which validates them. ([github.com](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps/blob/main/examples/basic-host/README.md?utm_source=openai))

The host’s `src/index.tsx` loads the sandbox proxy and creates an `AppBridge` for communication with the UI. The bridge uses `postMessage`; the host’s connection to the MCP server is separate. ([github.com](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps/blob/main/examples/basic-host/src/index.tsx?utm_source=openai))

Reject origins other than the QA host before forwarding requests.

createAuthProxy currently reflects every Origin and injects the owner token. A page from an unrelated origin can therefore invoke owner-authorized MCP operations.

The pinned basic-host connects to MCP from the top-level host at http://127.0.0.1:8080. Its http://localhost:8081 outer iframe only relays postMessage traffic. It does not call MCP directly.

Update createAuthProxy to reject requests with a defined Origin other than the
QA host origin before handling preflight requests or forwarding to the upstream
server; allow requests without an Origin. Reuse that validated origin for CORS
responses so only the QA host can make owner-authorized MCP requests.

🌐 Web query:

site:nodejs.org/api/http.html server.close idle connections closeAllConnections Node.js

💡 Result:

- `server.close()` stops accepting new connections and closes idle connections; since Node.js 19, it handles idle keep-alive connections itself.
- `server.closeIdleConnections()` closes only idle connections. It’s mainly useful alongside `server.close()` for compatibility with Node.js versions before 19.
- `server.closeAllConnections()` force-closes all HTTP(S) connections, including active ones. Use cautiously; if calling it with `server.close()`, call `close()` first to avoid a race. It does not close upgraded WebSocket or HTTP/2 sockets. ([nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html?utm_source=openai))

Force-close active HTTP connections during cleanup.

server.close() already closes idle keep-alive connections on the supported Node runtime. An open browser tab alone does not block its callback.

If Ctrl-C or a failed browser action occurs while an /mcp request is still active, the auth proxy keeps the upstream and downstream responses open. server.close() can then wait for those active connections. Call closeAllConnections() after close() starts.

🐛 Suggested fix
 function closeServer(server: HttpServer): Promise<void> {
-  return new Promise((resolvePromise) => server.close(() => resolvePromise()));
+  return new Promise((resolvePromise) => {
+    server.close(() => resolvePromise());
+    server.closeAllConnections();
+  });
 }

This fixes the HTTP listener wait. closeDevspace() still waits for tracked tool activity to finish.

Update closeServer to call closeAllConnections() after initiating
server.close(), while preserving its promise resolution through the close
callback. This ensures active HTTP connections are terminated during cleanup.
