DottaandPaperclip e8c8ba3c19 feat(apps): add experimental MCP aggregator connectors (#13755)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its tool gateway applies company access rules and approval controls
to connected apps.
> - MCP aggregators expose many apps through one provider endpoint.
> - Each aggregator needs its own credential, catalog, grants, and
lifecycle in Paperclip.
> - This pull request adds independent Zapier, Arcade, Composio Connect,
and Executor setup with a common Access → Connect layout.
> - A default-off MCP aggregators flag lets operators opt in while we
complete provider acceptance tests.
> - Agents use the normal Paperclip permissions, Test screen, and
gateway after setup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Apps, connection setup, shared contracts, and the remote MCP gateway.

**Problem or motivation**

Aggregator endpoints need clear provider setup and correct MCP sessions.
Generic setup does not explain each provider's authentication or broad
execution tools. Provider approval must preserve the original execution
instead of replaying a write.

**Proposed solution**

Add four separate connectors behind Settings → Experimental → MCP
aggregators. Start with human and agent access, then connect the
endpoint and read its tools. Enable tools by default. Use the existing
Permissions and Test screens after setup. Keep legacy Composio API-key
and child connections intact.

**Alternatives considered**

A shared connection for all providers would mix credentials and access
rules. Separate provider-specific permission and test screens would
duplicate existing controls. Vercel Connect is outside this change.

**Roadmap alignment**

Extends the existing MCP Tool Gateway & Apps capability and the
Connected Apps roadmap area. This work was requested and reviewed by the
maintainer.

Related work: #11894, #12630, #12632, #12634, and #12906 concern the
legacy Composio broker. #13102 also covers remote MCP pagination. This
change preserves the broker path and adds initialized sessions, response
matching, and provider resume handling alongside pagination.

## What Changed

- Add branded setup and interactive Storybooks for Zapier, Arcade,
Composio Connect, and Executor. Use the existing access controls and
normal action tests. Do not request a connection name or action choices
during setup.
- Add the default-off `enableMcpAggregators` flag to settings, managed
feature metadata, the catalog, and setup guards. Hidden connections keep
running. Legacy Composio connections remain unchanged.
- Reuse the vault, grants, policy, and catalog models. Support OAuth
discovery, bearer tokens, custom headers, and credential-bearing URLs.
Add no database tables or migrations.
- Initialize and retain Streamable HTTP sessions by connection and
effective credentials. Read paginated catalogs and match streaming
responses to request IDs.
- Classify unfamiliar aggregator tools as writes despite upstream
read-only hints; only exact reviewed read capabilities enter the
read-only allowlist. Legacy Composio child behavior is preserved.
- Preserve provider authorization links and execution IDs. Support
Executor approve/resume, decline, and cancel without automatic replay of
uncertain writes.
- Preserve Off and Ask first choices during refresh and reconnect. Allow
new tools and retire removed tools. Keep agent access updates atomic and
preserve an empty agent selection.
- Document connector UX rules, provider branding sources, and live
acceptance results.
- Stabilize the existing Sentry release fixture after its repeated CI
failure by reusing one module mock; production Sentry behavior is
unchanged.

## Verification

- Final head `d11781970`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35633534900)
passed, including broad typecheck, test shards, build, and E2E. All 54
checks pass; 2 optional checks are skipped. Greptile is 5/5, Security
Scan passes, and all review threads are resolved.

- Passed 27 focused connector Vitest checks and 18 connector-only
Storybook browser checks before the flag change. All 85 stories rendered
at desktop and narrow widths.
- Passed 5 connector lifecycle/server checks and 7 selected flag checks
after adding the flag. The latter cover settings, managed defaults,
cached catalog visibility, and all four setup routes.
- Review fixes passed 13 risk/handoff/lifecycle checks, dedicated
session-expiration and transport regressions, 13 selected
connector/gateway CI cases, and 10 selected setup/reconnect UI cases. A
real Composio connection-list call also succeeded through the refreshed
UI on `9ab115f71`.
- UI and server TypeScript checks passed. UI build, Storybook build,
token gates, and diff whitespace checks passed during implementation.
- Real browser and real Paperclip agent tests passed for Arcade,
Composio, and Executor. Tested action permissions, denied agent access,
reconnect, disconnect, and isolation. Tested Arcade catalog
additions/removal and Executor provider approve/resume, decline, and
cancel.
- Zapier live acceptance is incomplete. Its dedicated provider server is
configured, but its credential-copy dialog returned an empty clipboard
through browser automation. No live Zapier action is claimed.
- The three isolated Sentry release cases pass after the CI fixture fix.
- Local verification is deliberately narrow at the maintainer's request.
The full local suite, recursive typecheck, and repository-wide build
were not run. CI provides the broader checks.

## Risks

- Shared MCP transport changes affect other remote MCP servers. Protocol
fixtures cover initialized sessions, streaming response matching,
pagination, and isolation.
- Broad execution tools remain broad permissions. The provider governs
actions inside those tools.
- Provider handoff links are retained briefly in memory. After a server
restart, a one-time link may require reopening the provider dashboard.
Paperclip does not replay the original call.
- Zapier remains unproven live. Custom-header imports and self-hosted
endpoints have fixture coverage rather than a separate live account for
every variant.
- Turning the experimental flag off hides setup; it does not revoke
existing credentials or stop existing connections.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, shell
execution, and browser automation. The exact runtime model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. A separate
Anthropic-backed Paperclip agent performed live gateway acceptance
tasks.

DottaandPaperclip f589660ec0 feat(routines): add safe webhook setup and in-routine run management (#13637)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Routines turn scheduled work and external events into tasks for an
assigned agent.
> - Webhook setup was disabled, and actor authentication rejected valid
webhook bearer keys.
> - Operators need to connect and test a sending app before events can
start work.
> - This pull request adds a guided setup with durable connection tests
that cannot dispatch a task.
> - It keeps trigger management, execution tasks, and activity within
the routine.
> - The benefit is a webhook that can be configured, verified, and
operated from one place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes #11937.

Related: #13216 adds provider-specific Sentry support. This PR addresses
general routine setup and ingress. #6841 addresses legacy secret
bindings; this PR retains the existing secret service.

**Current behavior**

Webhook creation is disabled. Bearer deliveries can fail in agent
authentication before the routine checks its key. Setup has no safe
connection test. Runs and Activity send the operator away from the
routine.

**Proposed behavior**

Choose a schedule or a webhook. Follow the setup steps, copy credentials
or complete agent instructions, and test delivery without creating work.
Finish setup to allow future events to start tasks. Edit or remove
compact trigger cards, undo removal, and inspect tasks and activity
inside the routine.

**Reason and benefit**

An operator can verify credentials and delivery before enabling
automatic work. Durable setup state survives refreshes and restarts.
Retry receipts prevent an old test event from starting work after
activation.

## What Changed

- Add a production trigger wizard using reusable Slack setup navigation
and footer components.
- Add schedule and webhook choices, one-time credentials, agent
instructions, and live connection feedback.
- Persist pending setup, test delivery receipts, connection status, and
reversible trigger removal.
- Keep setup checks free of routine runs, tasks, and agent wakeups.
Preserve delivery idempotency after activation.
- Add compact trigger cards, inline editing, key rotation, pause
controls, removal, and Undo.
- Keep Runs and Activity in the routine. Use the shared task list and
compact activity rows.
- Permit only exact public delivery POSTs through actor authentication.
Retain webhook authentication, JSON-object validation, and log
redaction.
- Add production-backed Storybook states and focused server, database,
and UI coverage.
- Document signing modes, setup checks, retries, rotation, HTTPS
ingress, and navigation.

## Verification

- Full workspace typecheck, build, and token gates passed on the rebased
branch. Storybook also builds.
- Focused routine, middleware, logging, shared wizard, and UI coverage
passes on the rebased branch: 195 tests across 14 files. The migration
passed on a fresh PostgreSQL database and on two repeated applications.
- Browser testing used the real app, database, and a deterministic
process worker through Tailscale HTTPS and the current Cloud proxy code.
- Verified rejected keys, safe setup deliveries, persisted state after
restart, activation, retry deduplication, key rotation, schedule
editing, removal, and Undo.
- Fresh bearer and GitHub-signed deliveries created tasks that the
worker checked out and completed. Runs and Activity stayed within the
routine.
- Current Cloud ingress tests passed. Public delivery POSTs passed
through without a browser session; management routes remained gated.
- All 54 current-head PR checks pass, including general and serialized
tests, all eight browser E2E shards, typecheck, build, runner checks,
security checks, and the canary dry run. Two optional Storybook jobs are
skipped by workflow conditions.
- Greptile is 5/5 on commit `7ea63a61e`, with no unresolved review
threads. The stale connection-status finding is fixed and covered by a
regression test.
- No production deployment was performed.

## Risks

- Migration 0281 adds three trigger columns and a test-receipt table. It
is additive and safe to reapply. Apply it before running the new server.
Existing triggers remain live by default.
- Requests without delivery IDs are new events after activation. Senders
must reuse an event's delivery ID for retries.
- Completed webhooks keep normal dispatch behavior. Their management
connection check can start work; the UI states this.
- Removing a trigger archives it. Undo restores the URL and credentials.
Permanent deletion remains available through the existing API.
- Public ingress must remain restricted to the delivery POST route. The
tenant verifies credentials. Cloud sleeping-stack behavior is unchanged.
- Shared setup components also serve Slack. Existing setup contracts and
navigation tests cover that integration.
- Senders must use application/json with an object. Other media types
receive 415.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, shell
execution, and browser testing. The exact deployment model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.
