fix(connections): offer aggregator Slack sign-in on Cloud instead of a customer OAuth app (#19328)
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Connectors let people give agents tools, such as Slack, from the
Connectors catalog or from an agent's inline "Connect" card
> - On Paperclip Cloud, the only Slack path is "Slack needs its own
OAuth app". The user must create a Slack app, paste a callback URL, and
enter a Client ID and secret
> - Managed Slack chat setup exists, but it is behind the experimental
Chat connectors setting, which is off on Cloud. Composio's and Arcade's
managed Slack sign-in exists, but the native Slack row hides it
> - In an onboarding test on Cloud, a tester got this card from the
onboarding agent, spent 7 minutes on it, and declined it. No Slack
connection was made
> - This pull request follows the existing Google Workspace pattern: on
Cloud, a native connector whose every setup path needs a
customer-created OAuth app yields new setup to the aggregators' managed
sign-in, in the catalog and in agent connection discovery
> - The benefit is that Cloud users can connect Slack with a sign-in
instead of creating a Slack app
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
On a Paperclip Cloud instance, the onboarding agent asked the user to
connect Slack. Connectors > Slack > Connect showed "Slack needs its own
OAuth app. Slack does not let Paperclip register itself automatically,
so this connector needs an OAuth app you create." The form asks for a
callback URL, a Client ID and a Client secret. It has no link to Slack
app settings. The method description said "Use the provider-hosted
connection for the quickest setup." The tester gave up. The original
notes said that the cloud connector asked for an HTTPS server. That is
not correct: no HTTPS or deployment-mode check is in this path. The real
blocker is the customer OAuth app requirement.
**Expected behavior**
Slack can be connected from the supported Cloud flow without setup steps
that only an operator can do.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. On a Cloud instance with Chat connectors off (the Cloud default),
open Connectors and search for "Slack".
2. Click Connect on Slack. The "needs its own OAuth app" form opens.
3. Or, let an agent call `connections_search("Slack")`. It returns
native `slack` first, and its card opens the same form.
**Additional context**
Evidence: the Slack gallery entry on the Cloud instance had
`ownershipAvailability` `platform_shared: false`, `platform_provisioned:
false`, `customer: true`. `GET
/api/companies/:id/chat-slack/setup-options` returned 403 "Chat
connectors are disabled".
## What Changed
- `packages/shared`: add `nativeConnectorRequiresCustomerOAuthApp(app,
settings)`. It is true when every available setup path of a native
connector needs a customer-created OAuth app: no Paperclip-managed
client, no dynamic client registration, and no enabled chat setup.
- `ui/src/pages/apps/Browse.tsx`: on Cloud, such a connector yields to
aggregators, the same as the built-in Google connectors. The catalog
shows the "Connect through Composio or Arcade" row, and its Connect
button opens the provider choice. A saved native connection, a chat
endpoint, Chat connectors on, a self-hosted instance, or no aggregator
route keeps the native row.
- `server/src/services/connection-intents.ts` and new
`connection-native-yield.ts`: agent `connections_search` uses the same
rule. On Cloud, it does not prefer native Slack for new setup, so the
agent asks the provider-choice question (Composio, Arcade or Zapier).
The rule applies the advertised Paperclip Cloud connector profiles, so
apps with a managed Cloud client (for example Asana) do not yield. If
the profiles cannot be read, the native connector stays.
- `slack.json`: correct the Slack tool method copy, which said "quickest
setup". Add a "register" console link to `https://api.slack.com/apps`,
so the form now shows "Open Slack app settings".
- Tests in all three layers.
## Verification
Red/green. I committed the tests first (`2386fd83df`) and ran them
against unchanged source code.
**Red (before the fix):**
```

```
Neighbouring suites:
- `packages/shared` (all): 98 files, 1060 tests passed
- `ui` `src/pages/apps` + `src/features/connections`: 54 files, 980
tests passed
- `server` `connection-aggregator-fallback` 49/49,
`connection-intents-service`, `native-connection-baseline-fixture`,
`runner-connection-eval-fixtures` passed. `satisfied-connection-intents`
52/52 passed when run alone. It had a suite-setup error only when three
embedded-Postgres runs went in parallel.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: clean. `tsc --noEmit` shows no errors in
changed files. Local runs show unrelated errors because the
`paperclip-runner` workspace package is not built. CI runs the full
typecheck.
Still needs a live Slack workspace to prove:
- Complete Slack sign-in through Composio or Arcade on a Cloud instance,
and an agent tool call to Slack.
- An agent run on Cloud that asks the provider-choice question for Slack
and then connects through the selected aggregator.
## Risks
- Behaviour change on Cloud only, for native connectors whose every path
needs a customer-created OAuth app and that an aggregator serves. Today
that is Slack (when Chat connectors are off), and Box and Xero if the
aggregator catalog has them. On Cloud, these move to the aggregator
route for new setup, the same as the built-in Google connectors. Saved
connections keep their native row and discovery.
- Cloud users who want their own Slack app can still open
`/apps/connect?source=slack`, but the catalog row no longer links to it
while the rule applies.
- Self-hosted instances keep the native connector unchanged.
- Follow-up, not in this PR: enable managed Slack chat on Cloud (Chat
connectors Cloud default and `PAPERCLIP_SLACK_MANAGED_SETUP_ENABLED`).
This is a flag and operations change. It needs the Cloud Slack broker to
be proven first. When it is enabled, this rule stops yielding Slack
automatically.

Add experimental Paperclip Notebook MCP connection (#16984)
## Thinking Path > - Paperclip connects agents to external tools through saved accounts and per-action permissions. > - Notebook exposes artifact management through an ordinary remote MCP server with OAuth. > - A private pilot needs a hidden, default-off catalog and execution gate. > - Local file publishing belongs to Notebook, which can accept bounded file bytes through ordinary MCP tools. > - Paperclip therefore needs the connector registration and generic availability checks, with no file-transfer architecture. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **Subsystem affected** Apps catalog, experimental feature metadata, connection setup, and connector availability. **Problem or motivation** Users need to connect Notebook as their Cloud account, assign its tools to agents, and retain Paperclip's normal Allowed / Ask first / Off rules. The private pilot must remain hidden until an operator enables it. Notebook should own its upload protocol and local publishing script. **Proposed solution** Register a personal remote MCP OAuth connection at Notebook's canonical endpoint. Reuse existing OAuth discovery, credential storage, refresh, reconnect, and removal. Enforce availability through generic catalog feature metadata and saved application identity. Keep Notebook's standalone uploader in its own service repository; it calls the ordinary gateway and receives no saved OAuth credential. **Alternatives considered** A gallery-only filter permits retained tools and deep links while disabled. A shared workspace publisher and private upload-ticket transport add runtime behavior that a normal MCP connector does not require. Notebook can receive file bytes directly through its own tools instead. **Roadmap alignment** This extends Connected Apps and supports Artifacts and Work Products. ROADMAP.md and related PRs were checked. This PR is standalone on master. The separate OAuth lifecycle and file-transfer proposals (#17085 and #17086) are closed and are not dependencies. ## What Changed - Register Notebook's personal MCP OAuth method, canonical endpoint, scopes, catalog metadata, and branding. - Declare managed `enablePaperclipNotebook` with false defaults and no user-facing settings toggle or staging opt-in. - Use generic availability metadata for gallery/setup, retained connection identity, OAuth completion, health, tool/context discovery, and dispatch. Resources/prompts recheck before credentials, including retained handles. Removal remains available while disabled. - Resolve catalog application identity from the saved application key, so editable connection labels cannot bypass the hidden gate. - Select a method's sole supported credential kind when no kind is supplied. - Keep UI changes to metadata-driven availability and existing setup/reconnect controls. - Document Notebook's service-owned upload script, inline publication, ordinary action policies, and credential behavior. - Add ordinary MCP OAuth, assignment, action-policy, disabled-state, settings, and catalog tests. No workspace contribution registry, private transfer endpoint, native publisher, Runner file-reader change, or Paperclip CLI upload command is included. The entire native-runtime and CLI trees match master. Upload code lives in `paperclip-cloud/notebook/`. ## Verification Source head: `65ef741e4f476c67425b57d2fb2d6d4c00e99b06`, directly on master `53732c811bb69655eb43d3d12f2063ae4ca5ad67`. The diff is 42 files. Shared execution changes only enforce generic catalog availability; tool access also resolves saved application identity and the sole supported credential kind. Neither module contains Notebook upload logic. - Catalog/shared/settings/UI suites: 592 tests passed across 12 files. Shared/server/UI typechecks passed using installed compilers. - Fresh real PostgreSQL generic MCP suite: 84/84 passed at final source; server typecheck and module boundaries pass. Coverage includes personal OAuth, ordinary refresh/reconnect, assignments, Allowed / Ask first / Off, hidden feature enforcement, and local credential removal. Four new resources/prompts cases failed against the prior code and pass after filtering saved application identity and rechecking before credentials. They prove missing/relabelled setup markers and stale eligibility cannot dispatch or read secrets while disabled; an ordinary provider remains available with the flag off. - The full tool-access service suite passed 463/464 cases. One unchanged Google Workspace `slides.write` case timed out at 15 seconds; it passed on one isolated retry without source or timeout changes. Its exact test block matches master. The cause is not established; final-head CI must qualify the complete suite. - Maps, module boundaries, token gates, and whitespace checks passed. Byte comparisons confirm the former transfer/runtime/CLI surfaces match master. - Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved findings after an exhaustive feedback audit. Current-head CI workflow [39625691137](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39625691137) succeeded, including both required checks (`ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`), Build, and browser E2E. Supplementary security/advisory scan status is recorded in the PR Checks panel and qualification receipt; prior-head scans are not counted. The superseded `4bd7af9b2e` completed CI successfully, but Greptile found the valid resources/prompts availability gap described above. It was fixed, replied to, and resolved; earlier-head results do not qualify this revision. Preserved environment failures: the first socket-restricted UI/route run had 93 listener setup failures, and the same 93 cases passed with local-socket access. The package-manager launcher could not fetch its signature metadata; installed compilers passed without dependency or configuration changes. The full service timeout and isolated retry remain recorded separately. The superseded `585e870e73` CI also failed an unchanged agent-chat project-plan revision assertion after task creation; the complete spec and relevant runtime sources match master, and a same-master prior run passed. Its cause is not established. Logs are preserved; no test or timeout was weakened and no old-head rerun was requested. The subsequent heads run full CI independently; no prior-head pass substitutes for current qualification. The Notebook uploader requires a separate service release. This public PR adds no uploader runtime to Paperclip and claims no newly deployed browser/agent acceptance. The Notebook-owned upload path is qualified separately. Code-owner review remains required before merge. ## Risks - The feature flag gates the curated connector; it does not create a Notebook service-side team allowlist or block arbitrary standard MCP URLs. - Publishing, sharing, and deletion retain the existing assignment and action-policy boundaries. - The hidden feature must be checked for retained tools and saved identity, including when connection labels change. - Disconnect removes local credentials. It does not revoke the remote Notebook authorization; the owner can revoke it in Notebook. - Ordinary refresh uses the existing client. A lost response after refresh-token rotation can require reconnect. - The standalone Notebook script and its bounded upload tools must ship together in the Notebook service before that documented convenience path is available. - No database schema, workflow, lockfile, shared transfer, or Runner change is included. No merge, deployment, or rollout is performed by this update. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection, code execution, and tool use. The runtime did not expose a more specific model ID or context-window size. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing> |
