DottaandPaperclip 2b688a8fe3 feat(connections): add verified MCP providers and setup fixes (#15621)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Apps give agents governed access to external tools.
> - Several provider MCP servers lacked a supported catalog entry or
failed during setup.
> - Real browser tests identified specific registration, session, and
form defects.
> - This pull request adds seven catalog entries and fixes the shared
paths used by eleven verified providers.
> - Users can connect these providers through the existing Apps flow and
control each action.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The Apps catalog and remote MCP setup, discovery, and action tester.

**Subsystem affected**

Shared app definitions, the server tool services, and the Apps UI.

**Current behavior**

Seven providers lack a catalog entry. Airtable can select an advertised
client-metadata flow that fails. Calendly rejects the registration name.
Tavily needs an initialized session before a call. Firecrawl exposes
invalid defaults for optional nested form objects. HTTPS setup can
display a callback that differs from the server callback.

**Proposed behavior**

Add Calendly, Exa, Firecrawl, GSC Wizard, Parallel Search, Tavily, and
Windsor.ai. Preserve Airtable, Linear, Make, and PostHog. Use reviewed
provider options through the shared MCP and OAuth paths. Display the
callback supplied by the server. Omit untouched optional object inputs.

**Reason and benefit**

Eleven providers passed bounded reads through the real Paperclip browser
action tester. This PR includes that verified set and its required
shared fixes. Unfinished providers remain outside this change. AgentMail
keeps its existing integration.

**Breaking changes**

No database migration. Existing OAuth credentials and action policies
keep their ownership and access rules. Airtable's reviewed method
re-registers a retained client-metadata binding through DCR. Tavily's
reviewed method initializes sessions before dispatch. The existing
customer, managed, and Vercel OAuth gateway paths now refresh on
upstream 401 and return `oauth_refreshed_retry_required` (409),
requiring an explicit caller retry. They do not replay the rejected call
automatically; the next invocation initializes a fresh credential-scoped
session when required.

Related catalog work: #15545. This branch preserves current master
catalog entries and does not add another Google Workspace integration.
Open and closed provider PRs and public MCP issues were searched. No
duplicate for this verified set was found. The change extends the
shipped Connected Apps roadmap item.

## What Changed

- Add seven catalog entries with official provider branding and reviewed
permissions.
- Update Airtable, Linear, and Make metadata and show Make in Apps.
- Add authoritative provider source overrides that use the existing
generation and review checks.
- Add the reviewed Airtable DCR option and compatible Calendly
registration names.
- Initialize Tavily sessions before discovery and calls, including
retained connections. Keep credential-scoped session caching and single
call dispatch.
- Use the server's callback URL in the OAuth setup UI.
- Omit untouched optional object defaults; keep supplied empty strings,
false, zero, and object values intact in the action tester, with strict
required-child validation.
- Require an explicit retry after OAuth refresh instead of replaying a
tools/call with missing session headers.
- Record all eleven successful reads, write policies, auth-method
limits, and qualification caveats. Omit credentials and private account
data.
- Find chat connector cards through catalog search in browser tests, so
pagination does not hide Slack or other later entries.

## Verification

- Real browser qualification: eleven bounded reads passed. Catalog
refresh and reload proof are recorded in
`doc/connections/verified-mcp-qualification-2026-10-08.md`.
- Provider writes and actual agent-adapter sessions were not run.
Alternative documented auth methods and expiry refresh remain
unqualified.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- Focused shared/catalog tests: 41 passed. Source override tests: 3
passed. Catalog regeneration fixture suite: 9 passed. Latest form
regression suites: 31 passed. Gateway suite: 38 passed. Other focused UI
suites passed before these last fixes.
- UI token gates and both token sync checks: passed.
- The catalog regeneration fixture includes the authoritative provider
overrides; its full suite passes. The focused OAuth socket case passed
on isolated rerun.
- Complete local UI suite: 7,866 passed. CLI suite: 511 passed, 6
skipped. Complete shared suite: 892 passed.
- The unchanged AgentMail/ClickUp discovery fallback suite passes all 45
cases. An OpenAI login test passed on isolated rerun.
- Local broad database coverage is limited by macOS PostgreSQL
shared-memory exhaustion (`shmget: No space left on device`, not disk
space). The broad run was interrupted after diagnosis; no host settings
or other running services were changed.
- CI found that the Slack browser test assumed its catalog card was on
the first page. The test now uses catalog search; the Slack case passes
locally. Adjacent GitHub and iMessage cases could not start locally
because embedded PostgreSQL initialization failed before browser
assertions.
- Final commit
[`febe4520e`](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/commit/febe4520e13d4b3a4121eafc3d22540c2b11379d):
all 54 checks passed, with none pending or failed. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37847182065)
passed typecheck, build, all general and serialized test suites, all
eight browser shards, runner checks, canary dry run, and the aggregate
verification gate.
- Greptile reviewed that exact final commit at 2026-10-08 21:33 UTC and
returned 5/5 with no outstanding findings or unresolved threads.
- PR UI preview against the existing local test server: Calendly
catalog/setup observed; Firecrawl read passed after expanding More
options with nested optional inputs untouched. This retest proves
frontend behavior, not the revised OAuth backend against a live
provider.

## Risks

- Provider registration and consent behavior can change. Airtable's DCR
option is explicit and keeps the existing issuer, resource, redirect,
and PKCE checks.
- Tavily uses initialized sessions without automatic call retries. After
a successful OAuth refresh following 401, callers now receive a
retry-required result. A later explicit retry can still require
reauthorization if the provider rejects the refreshed token. Provider
writes are not live-qualified.
- Optional object cleanup affects the shared action tester. Regression
tests cover absent objects, required children, defaults, and populated
values.
- GSC Wizard's underlying Google data scopes and Google flow completion
were not independently verified. Its account reported paid/trial
metadata of unknown origin. No purchase was performed.
- No database migration, new AgentMail integration, or change to
existing action grants is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted with implementation, research, tool
use, and code execution. The root backend model ID and context window
are not exposed in this session. The cheaper subagents used OpenAI
`gpt-6-luna`. No model context size is inferred.

DottaandPaperclip 6d654f63d1 feat(apps): make MCP action test results readable (#14859)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connected Apps let an operator control which MCP actions an agent
can use.
> - The Permissions page lets the operator run a real action as an
agent.
> - The Test dialog displayed the nested MCP response as escaped JSON.
> - A useful result was hard to read, even when the action worked.
> - This pull request renders known MCP content as a readable preview
and keeps the raw response available.
> - The benefit is faster validation without losing the data needed to
diagnose a failure.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The per-action Test dialog on a connection's Permissions page.

**Subsystem affected**

ui/ — React board UI.

**Current behavior**

The dialog shows the gateway response as an escaped JSON blob. Text
content that contains JSON stays inside a string. The obsolete
connection Test page also keeps a separate set of stories.

**Proposed behavior**

The dialog uses structured MCP content when present. It parses JSON text
blocks when possible. It shows compact tables, cards, fields, or plain
text. It keeps the full raw response behind a control and opens that
view for errors or unknown block shapes. Stories exercise the
Permissions page dialog, and the obsolete Test page and stories are
removed.

**Reason and benefit**

An operator can inspect a successful action result at a glance and still
inspect the exact gateway response when a call fails or looks wrong.

**Breaking changes**

No API or stored data changes. The Test dialog presentation changes. The
raw response stays available.

**Additional context**

I tested a read-only Notion search through the real Permissions page.
The dialog showed three result cards and the raw response control
worked. Storybook uses invented example data.

No directly matching public issue or open PR was found in the GitHub
search.

## What Changed

- Render structured MCP output and JSON text content in the action Test
dialog.
- Show wide rows as cards, keep short rows as tables, and retain the raw
response for diagnosis.
- Remove the obsolete connection Test page and its stories.
- Add focused dialog tests and Permissions page Storybook cases for
success, errors, mixed blocks, and malformed blocks.
- Document the Test dialog result behavior in the connection playbook.
- Keep agent mention icons visible when the Lucide icon node is
unavailable in server rendering, which repaired a repeatable CI failure.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/ui` — passed (7,111
tests).
- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/pages/apps/app-detail/ActionTestDialog.test.tsx` — passed (11
tests).
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/ui
ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx` — passed (53 tests).
- `pnpm test:run` — started, then stopped after the review fixes changed
the head; the full sharded suite passed in CI.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- Use a connected MCP app. Open Permissions, select a read action, and
run Test. Inspect the preview and the raw response control.

## Risks

- MCP tools can return provider-specific block shapes. Unknown blocks
open the raw response so the operator can inspect the exact result.
- Row and field previews limit visible data. The raw response preserves
the complete result.

> This is a targeted improvement to the existing Connected Apps item in
`ROADMAP.md`.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The session used tool access, code execution, and
browser validation. The exact deployment ID and context window were not
exposed to the session.
