+# MCP Server Support — Ticket Summary
+
+## Description
+
+Adds MCP (Model Context Protocol) server management to the application, allowing the AI assistant
+to discover and call tools from external MCP servers during triage conversations.
+
+The implementation covers:
+- Settings page at `/settings/mcp` for managing server connections
+- Support for `stdio` (local processes) and `http` (Streamable HTTP) transports
+- Auth types: `none`, `api_key`, `bearer`, `oauth2`
+- Auto-discovery of enabled servers at application startup
+- Transparent injection of discovered tools into every AI chat session
+- Security-first design: encrypted credential storage, mandatory audit logging, PII scanning
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] Users can add, edit, enable/disable, and delete MCP server configurations
+- [x] "Discover Now" connects to the server, lists tools and resources, and persists results
+- [x] Enabled servers auto-connect on app launch via `.setup()` hook
+- [x] MCP tools appear in the AI chat tool list and are callable by the AI
+- [x] `auth_value` is always AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest; never returned to frontend
+- [x] `write_audit_event()` is called before every MCP tool execution
+- [x] PII scan on tool call arguments (non-blocking warning on detection)
+- [x] stdio transport rejects relative paths; never uses `sh -c`
+- [x] All existing tests continue to pass (185 Rust, 94 Vitest)
+- [x] Zero clippy warnings; zero TypeScript errors
+

+- Cascade deletes ensure removing a server cleans up all associated tools and resources
+- Tools and resources are replaced atomically on each discovery run (delete-all + re-insert)

+## MCP Server Commands
+
+> **Status:** Fully Implemented (v0.3.0+)
+
+### `list_mcp_servers`
+```typescript
+listMcpServersCmd() → McpServer[]
+```
+Returns all registered MCP servers. `auth_value` is always `null` in responses (scrubbed server-side).
+```typescript
+interface McpServer {
+    id: string;
+    name: string;
+    url: string;
+    transport_type: "stdio" | "http";
+    transport_config: string;          // JSON
+    auth_type: "none" | "api_key" | "bearer" | "oauth2";
+    auth_value?: string;               // Always null in responses
+    enabled: boolean;
+    last_discovered_at?: string;
+    discovery_status: "pending" | "connected" | "unreachable" | "error";
+    discovery_error?: string;
+    created_at: string;
+    updated_at: string;
+}
+```
+
+### `create_mcp_server`
+```typescript
+createMcpServerCmd(request: CreateMcpServerRequest) → McpServer
+```
+Creates a new MCP server record. Auth value is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before persistence.
+```typescript
+interface CreateMcpServerRequest {
+    name: string;
+    url: string;
+    transport_type: "stdio" | "http";
+    transport_config: string;
+    auth_type: "none" | "api_key" | "bearer" | "oauth2";
+    auth_value?: string;
+    enabled: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+### `update_mcp_server`
+```typescript
+updateMcpServerCmd(id: string, request: UpdateMcpServerRequest) → McpServer
+```
+Partial update. Only provided fields are changed. If `auth_value` is provided, it replaces the encrypted value.
+```typescript
+interface UpdateMcpServerRequest {
+    name?: string;
+    url?: string;
+    transport_type?: "stdio" | "http";
+    transport_config?: string;
+    auth_type?: "none" | "api_key" | "bearer" | "oauth2";
+    auth_value?: string;
+    enabled?: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+### `delete_mcp_server`
+```typescript
+deleteMcpServerCmd(id: string) → void
+```
+Deletes the server record and all associated tools/resources (cascade). Also removes the live connection from memory.
+
+### `toggle_mcp_server`
+```typescript
+toggleMcpServerCmd(id: string, enabled: boolean) → void
+```
+Enables or disables a server. Disabled servers are excluded from AI tool injection and startup discovery.
+
+### `discover_mcp_server`
+```typescript
+discoverMcpServerCmd(id: string) → McpServerStatus
+```
+Connects to the server, enumerates its tools and resources, and persists them. Returns the updated status.
+```typescript
+interface McpServerStatus {
+    server_id: string;
+    status: "pending" | "connected" | "unreachable" | "error";
+    error?: string;
+    tool_count: number;
+    resource_count: number;
+    last_discovered_at?: string;
+}
+```
+
+### `get_mcp_server_status`
+```typescript
+getMcpServerStatusCmd(id: string) → McpServerStatus
+```
+Returns current discovery status, tool count, and resource count without triggering a new connection.
+
+### `initiate_mcp_oauth`
+```typescript
+initiateMcpOauthCmd(id: string) → void
+```
+Opens a WebView window for OAuth2 authentication. Requires `auth_type = "oauth2"` and `transport_config` containing `auth_endpoint`, `token_endpoint`, and `client_id`. After successful authentication, the access token is encrypted and stored.

+# MCP Servers
+
+## Overview
+
+**Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is an open standard that allows AI models to invoke external tools and access external resources through a standardised JSON-RPC interface. TFTSR integrates MCP as a first-class feature, enabling the AI triage assistant to call tools exposed by any compliant MCP server — file search, database queries, monitoring APIs, runbook automation, and more.
+
+MCP support extends the AI's capabilities beyond conversation: during incident triage, the model can autonomously invoke registered tools to gather diagnostic data, check system status, or execute remediation steps — all within the app's security and audit framework.
+
+---

+
+**Module layout** (`src-tauri/src/mcp/`):
+
+| File | Responsibility |
+|------|----------------|
+| `models.rs` | Struct definitions: `McpServer`, `McpTool`, `McpResource`, request types |
+| `store.rs` | CRUD operations against SQLite (encrypted at rest) |

+
+## Database Schema
+
+Three tables are created by **Migration 018** (`018_mcp_servers`):
+
+### `mcp_servers`
+
+| Column | Type | Constraints |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `id` | TEXT | PRIMARY KEY |
+| `name` | TEXT | NOT NULL |
+| `url` | TEXT | NOT NULL |
+| `transport_type` | TEXT | NOT NULL, CHECK IN (`'stdio'`, `'http'`) |
+| `transport_config` | TEXT | NOT NULL DEFAULT `'{}'` (JSON) |
+| `auth_type` | TEXT | NOT NULL, CHECK IN (`'none'`, `'api_key'`, `'bearer'`, `'oauth2'`) |
+| `auth_value` | TEXT | Nullable — AES-256-GCM encrypted |
+| `enabled` | INTEGER | NOT NULL DEFAULT 1 |
+| `last_discovered_at` | TEXT | Nullable UTC timestamp |
+| `discovery_status` | TEXT | NOT NULL DEFAULT `'pending'`, CHECK IN (`'pending'`, `'connected'`, `'unreachable'`, `'error'`) |
+| `discovery_error` | TEXT | Nullable |
+| `created_at` | TEXT | NOT NULL DEFAULT `datetime('now')` |
+| `updated_at` | TEXT | NOT NULL DEFAULT `datetime('now')` |
+
+### `mcp_tools`
+
+| Column | Type | Constraints |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `id` | TEXT | PRIMARY KEY |
+| `server_id` | TEXT | NOT NULL, FK → `mcp_servers(id)` ON DELETE CASCADE |
+| `name` | TEXT | NOT NULL (original tool name from server) |
+| `tool_key` | TEXT | NOT NULL (sanitised key used by AI) |
+| `description` | TEXT | Nullable |
+| `parameters` | TEXT | NOT NULL DEFAULT `'{}'` (JSON Schema) |
+
+### `mcp_resources`
+
+| Column | Type | Constraints |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `id` | TEXT | PRIMARY KEY |
+| `server_id` | TEXT | NOT NULL, FK → `mcp_servers(id)` ON DELETE CASCADE |
+| `uri` | TEXT | NOT NULL |
+| `name` | TEXT | Nullable |
+| `description` | TEXT | Nullable |
+
+Cascade deletes ensure that removing a server automatically cleans up its tools and resources.
+
+---
+
+## Transport Types
+
+### stdio
+
+The app spawns a local process and communicates over its stdin/stdout using the MCP JSON-RPC protocol.
+
+**Configuration** (`transport_config` JSON):
+```json
+{
+  "command": "/usr/local/bin/my-mcp-server",
+  "args": ["--port", "0", "--mode", "stdio"]
+}
+```
+
+- `command` — **must be an absolute path**. Relative paths are rejected to prevent path traversal attacks.
+- `args` — optional array of command-line arguments.
+
+The process is spawned via Tokio and wrapped with `rmcp::transport::TokioChildProcess`.
+
+### http (Streamable HTTP)
+
+The app connects to a remote MCP server over HTTP(S) using the Streamable HTTP transport from `rmcp`.
+
+**Configuration:**
+- `url` field on the server record — the HTTP endpoint (e.g., `https://mcp.example.com/v1`).
+- If `auth_type` is `bearer` or `api_key`, the decrypted auth value is attached as an `Authorization` header.
+
+```json
+{
+  "url": "https://mcp.example.com/v1",
+  "transport_type": "http",
+  "auth_type": "bearer"
+}
+```
+
+The `transport_config` field for HTTP servers is typically `{}` — connection details come from `url` and `auth_value`.
+
+---
+
+## Authentication Types
+
+| Type | Description | Storage |
+|------|-------------|---------|
+| `none` | No authentication required | — |
+| `api_key` | API key sent as Authorization header | Encrypted in `auth_value` |
+| `bearer` | Bearer token sent as Authorization header | Encrypted in `auth_value` |
+| `oauth2` | OAuth2 PKCE flow via WebView | Token encrypted in `auth_value` after exchange |
+
+All auth values are encrypted with **AES-256-GCM** before storage (same encryption system as integration credentials). The plaintext is never returned to the frontend — `list_mcp_servers` strips `auth_value` from responses.
+
+### OAuth2 Flow
+
+For servers requiring OAuth2:
+
+1. `transport_config` must include `auth_endpoint`, `token_endpoint`, `client_id`, and optionally `scope`.
+2. Call `initiate_mcp_oauth(server_id)` — opens a WebView window at the authorization URL.
+3. User authenticates with the MCP provider.
+4. On redirect, the code is exchanged for an access token.
+5. Token is encrypted and stored in `auth_value`.
+
+---
+
+## Configuration Guide
+
+### Adding an MCP Server (UI)
+
+Navigate to **Settings > MCP Servers** (`/settings/mcp`) to manage servers.
+
+1. Click **Add Server**.
+2. Fill in:
+   - **Name** — Human-readable label (e.g., "Weather API", "Filesystem Tools").
+   - **URL** — For HTTP: the server endpoint. For stdio: can be left as the command path for display.
+   - **Transport** — `stdio` or `http`.
+   - **Transport Config** — JSON. For stdio: `{"command": "/path/to/binary", "args": [...]}`. For HTTP: typically `{}`.
+   - **Auth Type** — `none`, `api_key`, `bearer`, or `oauth2`.
+   - **Auth Value** — The token/key (will be encrypted on save). Leave blank for `none`.
+   - **Enabled** — Toggle on/off.
+3. Click **Save**. The server record is persisted.
+4. Click **Discover** to connect and enumerate available tools and resources.
+
+### Discovery
+
+Discovery connects to the server, queries its tool and resource manifests, and persists them locally. Status transitions:
+
+```
+pending → connected     (success)
+pending → error         (connection/protocol failure)
+pending → unreachable   (startup failure, non-fatal)
+```
+
+After successful discovery, tools from the server appear in AI conversations automatically.
+
+---
+
+## Tool Naming Convention
+
+When tools are discovered, each gets a **tool key** used by the AI model:
+
+```
+mcp_{server_name}_{tool_name}
+```
+
+Both parts are sanitised:
+- Lowercased
+- Non-alphanumeric characters replaced with `_`
+- Consecutive underscores collapsed
+- Leading/trailing underscores trimmed
+
+**Examples:**
+
+| Server Name | Tool Name | Tool Key |
+|-------------|-----------|----------|
+| My Weather API | get_forecast | `mcp_my_weather_api_get_forecast` |
+| Filesystem | search files | `mcp_filesystem_search_files` |
+| simple | ping | `mcp_simple_ping` |
+
+The AI model calls tools by their `tool_key`. The adapter layer resolves this back to the original server and tool name for execution.
+
+---
+
+## Startup Discovery
+
+On application launch, `init_all_servers()` iterates all **enabled** servers and attempts discovery for each:
+
+- Successful connections are stored in `AppState.mcp_connections` (a `HashMap<String, Arc<TokioMutex<McpConnection>>>>`).
+- Failed connections are marked as `unreachable` in the database with the error message. A warning is logged, but startup continues.
+- This is a best-effort, non-blocking operation — the app launches regardless of MCP server availability.
+
+---
+
+## AI Integration
+
+Enabled MCP tools are automatically injected into AI conversations:
+
+1. `get_enabled_mcp_tools()` queries tools from servers that are both `enabled = 1` and `discovery_status = 'connected'`.
+2. Each `McpTool` is converted to an AI `Tool` definition (name, description, JSON Schema parameters).
+3. When the AI responds with a tool call matching an `mcp_*` key, the adapter routes it to `call_tool()` on the appropriate live connection.
+4. The tool result is fed back to the AI as a tool response message.
+
+---
+
+## IPC Commands
+
+| Command | Parameters | Returns |
+|---------|-----------|---------|
+| `list_mcp_servers` | — | `McpServer[]` (auth_value always null) |
+| `create_mcp_server` | `CreateMcpServerRequest` | `McpServer` |
+| `update_mcp_server` | `id`, `UpdateMcpServerRequest` | `McpServer` |
+| `delete_mcp_server` | `id` | `void` |
+| `toggle_mcp_server` | `id`, `enabled` | `void` |
+| `discover_mcp_server` | `id` | `McpServerStatus` |
+| `get_mcp_server_status` | `id` | `McpServerStatus` |
+| `initiate_mcp_oauth` | `id` | `void` (opens WebView) |
+
+See [IPC Commands](IPC-Commands#mcp-servers) for full type signatures.
+
+---
+
+## Security
+
+- **Encrypted auth values** — AES-256-GCM, same key derivation as integration credentials (`TFTSR_ENCRYPTION_KEY`)

+## MCP Server Security
+
+MCP server support introduces external tool execution capabilities. The following controls mitigate the associated risks.
+
+### Auth Value Storage
+
+- Auth tokens (API keys, bearer tokens, OAuth2 access tokens) are encrypted with **AES-256-GCM** before persistence in `mcp_servers.auth_value`.
+- Encryption uses the same key derivation as integration credentials (`TFTSR_ENCRYPTION_KEY` → SHA-256 → 32-byte AES key).
+- Random 96-bit nonce per encryption operation.
+- Format: `base64(nonce || ciphertext || tag)`.
+
+### Server-Side Response Scrubbing
+
+- `list_mcp_servers` and all CRUD commands set `auth_value = None` before returning to the frontend.
+- The encrypted ciphertext never reaches the WebView layer.
+- Decryption only occurs internally when establishing a connection (discovery) or executing a tool call.
+
+### Audit Trail
+
+- `write_audit_event` is called **before** every MCP tool execution with:
+  - `action`: `"mcp_tool_call"`
+  - `entity_type`: `"mcp_tool"`
+  - `entity_id`: the tool key being invoked
+  - `details`: JSON containing server ID, tool name, and argument hash
+- This provides a complete, tamper-evident record of all external tool invocations.
+
+### PII Scan on Arguments
+
+- Before dispatching a tool call, the arguments JSON is scanned through the PII detection pipeline.
+- If PII is detected, a **non-blocking warning** is surfaced to the user.
+- This prevents inadvertent leakage of credentials, email addresses, or IP addresses to external MCP servers.
+
+### Stdio Transport Path Validation
+
+- `build_stdio_transport()` rejects any `command` that is not an absolute path.
+- This prevents:
+  - Path traversal attacks (e.g., `../../malicious`)
+  - Reliance on `$PATH` resolution which could be manipulated
+  - Unintended execution of relative-path binaries
+
+### Network Boundaries
+
+- HTTP transport uses `reqwest` with TLS certificate verification for HTTPS endpoints.
+- stdio transport communicates only with locally spawned processes (no network exposure).
+- MCP server URLs should be added to the Content Security Policy `connect-src` if fetched from the WebView layer.
+
+### Cascade Deletes
+
+- Removing an MCP server cascades to delete all associated `mcp_tools` and `mcp_resources` records.
+- The live connection is also removed from the in-memory connection pool.
+- No orphaned tool definitions can persist after server removal.
