DottaandPaperclip 0726a00e80 feat(apps): qualify Bitly, Context7, Hugging Face and Resend MCP (#15686)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and govern their tools.
> - Apps already supports provider-hosted MCP servers.
> - Useful providers still need real setup and read proof before Browse
exposure.
> - Browser testing found a Bitly token-format failure and an OAuth
callback that replaced an explicit empty agent selection.
> - This PR qualifies four provider methods and fixes those shared OAuth
paths.
> - Providers that still need login or approval remain withheld from new
Browse listings.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #15621, the merged hosted MCP qualification batch. Searches found
no duplicate Bitly or Context7 implementation PR.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Apps setup, provider MCP discovery, token exchange, and saved agent
access through an OAuth callback.

**Subsystem affected**

Shared Apps definitions, the server tool-access service, and the UI
setup/recovery route.

**Current behavior**

Bitly's callback can fail with `oauth_access_token_missing` when its
token response is not JSON. Curated MCP callbacks can treat an
explicitly saved empty install set as access for all agents. Context7 is
hidden and Hugging Face lacks a curated anonymous method. Saved drafts
for hidden providers cannot finish setup through their catalog wizard.

**Proposed behavior**

Request JSON token responses. Record explicit remote MCP install choices
in the install transaction and preserve them at callback. Keep managed
subject/default access when no choice was saved. Expose the qualified
Bitly and Context7 methods, add anonymous Hugging Face Hub access, and
record Resend qualification. Resume hidden providers only through an
exact matching company-visible saved draft.

**Reason and benefit**

People can connect useful hosted tools through the existing Apps flow.
An explicit zero-agent selection survives authorization. Public
documentation lookups need no OAuth app, account, or key.

**Breaking changes**

Explicitly saved empty MCP install choices now remain empty. Existing
managed defaults without a saved choice retain their behavior. No schema
migration or API shape change.

## What Changed

- Qualify Bitly OAuth, Context7 public MCP, Hugging Face public MCP, and
Resend OAuth with real browser setup, useful UI reads, and reload
checks.
- Negotiate JSON OAuth token responses and preserve explicitly saved MCP
agent reach with a transactional config marker.
- Add durable provider overrides, permission reviews, dated text-only
evidence, and official branding provenance. Remove all seven evidence
images and their report references.
- Restore Finish setup for hidden-provider drafts with
company/application/provider checks; keep fresh setup withheld. Preserve
success after the exact resumed draft becomes active, and restore valid
completed URLs to that exact saved Permissions page; reject initially
active, disabled, or archived resume targets. Align the Context7 route
assertion with its new qualified availability.
- Retain hidden ClickUp, Klaviyo, and monday.com research with exact
login/approval gates. monday.com requires provider callback
allowlisting.

## Verification

- Connector service suite: 420 passed, including
default/empty/agent/company reach and managed OAuth lifecycle coverage.
- Shared catalog: 36 passed. Override tests: 3 passed. Brand checks: 101
identities passed.
- Focused UI setup/recovery, Browse, and OAuth-helper suites: 306
passed. Actual hidden-draft resume/reload passed; a public Context7
draft seeded in the isolated app completed through the active-state
refetch and persisted with zero agents after reload. The completed URL
refresh and View connection open the exact saved Permissions page. Fresh
hidden setup, normal initially active resume, disabled/archived status,
and provider mismatch are rejected; a draft at the completion stage
stays in setup.
- Recursive typecheck and build passed again after rebase. The full
local Vitest run began before rebase and was cancelled as superseded
while still in the general-server phase; it is not a completed pass.
Exact-head CI supplies broad coverage. The focused connector service
suite passed against the final code. UI typecheck, build, and token
gates passed again after the draft-recovery fix.
- Targeted mock MCP Playwright journey: 1 passed (34.9s). It now
verifies View connection reaches the exact saved Permissions route, both
discovered actions, and reload persistence. This replaces the stale
Browse expectation found by CI.
- All CI gates passed on final commit
`32bb4c6422411eee632486950e45e2735102d1b3`. The inherited-pause test
timed out in the cleanup run and passed on one retry without code
changes; the entire file also passed locally, 36/36. Its exact timing
cause remains unresolved. A signoff timeout on the preceding
production-code commit also passed on its single retry. Greptile
reviewed the final commit at 5/5 with no open findings.
- Actual UI reads: Bitly current-user read; Resend List Domains
including a fresh setup after the final callback refinement; Context7
React docs; Hugging Face public docs search. No provider writes or real
agent runtimes ran.
- [Text-only qualification
report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/32bb4c6422411eee632486950e45e2735102d1b3/doc/connections/easy-mcp-batch-2-2026-10-09.md)
include evidence limits and exact blockers. Account/profile/domain
results are omitted.

## Risks

- Bitly `mcp.all` and Resend `full_access` remain broad provider grants.
Qualification kept writes Off and selected no agents. Read proof does
not establish write behavior or refresh rotation.
- The explicit-choice marker applies to new install saves; older
unmarked flows keep their existing defaults. Its JSONB merge avoids
overwriting concurrent config fields.
- Public provider catalogs and rate limits can change. Unqualified
providers remain withheld from new Browse entries; retained connections
remain available for recovery.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, plus OpenAI `gpt-6-luna` subagents for
provider research, browser testing, and review. The exact primary
serving variant and context-window size are not exposed by this runtime.
Used reasoning, code execution, and browser tools.
