Summary

  • add oauth.allowedResourceUrls for exact alternate MCP resource URLs
  • reuse the provider's resource check for authorization and /mcp bearer validation
  • keep authorization-code and refresh exchanges bound to the resource originally approved
  • update the versioned JSON Schema, configuration reference, and regression tests

Why

OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel can present a resource URL on the tunnel service rather than the DevSpace publicBaseUrl origin. DevSpace currently rejects that mismatch, so the OAuth flow fails closed even though both URLs route to the same operator-controlled server.

This implements the explicit allowlist proposed in #182. Configured aliases use complete URL equality after fragment removal; they do not accept an entire origin or path descendants. The existing canonical /mcp behavior remains unchanged.

Testing

  • pnpm typecheck
  • node --import tsx --test --test-concurrency=1 src/config-schema.test.ts src/config.test.ts src/oauth-store.test.ts
  • pnpm build
  • pnpm test (96 passed, 3 skipped; the pre-existing Windows failure at src/process-sessions.test.ts:160 also reproduces on unmodified main)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added oauth.allowedResourceUrls configuration for alternate MCP resource URLs, including secure tunnel and local development addresses.
    • Allowed URLs must use HTTPS, except for localhost and loopback addresses over HTTP.
    • OAuth authorization and token exchanges now require exact resource URL matches, including token refreshes.
    • Removed aliases can no longer mint tokens after a restart.
  • Documentation
    • Updated configuration guidance with validation rules, automatic public /mcp access, and restart requirements after alias changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds oauth.allowedResourceUrls for exact alternate MCP resource URLs. OAuth authorization and token flows preserve matching resources. MCP requests use provider-based resource validation.

Changes

OAuth resource aliases

Configuration contract and persistence
docs/configuration.md, schema/v1/devspace.schema.json, src/config-schema.ts, src/config.ts, src/config-schema.test.ts, src/config.test.ts
Adds oauth.allowedResourceUrls with URL validation, an empty default, documentation, persistence, loading, and round-trip tests.
Provider resource validation
src/oauth-provider.ts, src/oauth-store.test.ts
Normalizes configured resources, accepts exact aliases, matches authorization and refresh resources, preserves recorded resources, and tests accepted and rejected variants.
MCP request integration
src/server.ts, src/server-oauth.test.ts
Routes MCP OAuth resource validation through oauthProvider.isResourceAllowed and tests canonical, alias, child-path, query, and unrelated resources.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 21040

Schema-based tooling can accept configurations that DevSpace later rejects at startup, so the published and runtime schemas should be aligned before merge.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds explicitly configured OAuth resource aliases while retaining the canonical MCP resource behavior and binding issued credentials to the resource originally approved.

  • Adds and documents oauth.allowedResourceUrls with an empty default and versioned schema support.
  • Centralizes canonical and alias resource authorization in SingleUserOAuthProvider.
  • Uses the same resource policy at authorization and the protected /mcp bearer boundary.
  • Prevents authorization-code and refresh exchanges from switching to a different resource.
  • Adds regression coverage for exact alias matching, persistence, refresh rotation, and revocation.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge with resource aliases consistently enforced across authorization, token exchange, persistence, refresh, and MCP bearer validation.

No actionable failure remains: configured aliases are propagated to the provider, matched exactly after fragment normalization, and persisted token resources cannot be exchanged for a different canonical or alias resource.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
src/oauth-provider.ts Adds exact resource-alias handling and binds authorization-code and refresh exchanges to the originally approved resource.
src/server.ts Reuses the provider resource policy when validating authenticated requests to /mcp.
src/config-schema.ts Adds a validated, default-empty list of alternate OAuth resource URLs.
schema/v1/devspace.schema.json Exposes the new OAuth resource-alias setting in the committed versioned JSON Schema.
src/oauth-store.test.ts Covers exact alias matching, resource binding, persistence, refresh rotation, and revocation.
docs/configuration.md Documents complete-URL alias configuration and clarifies that aliases do not affect discovery or routing.

Add an HTTP regression test for the /mcp bearer resource contract.

src/server.test.ts uses createMcpServer with InMemoryTransport, while provider tests call isResourceAllowed directly. Add a createServer test with an MCP HTTP client. Assert success for configured aliases and the canonical resource, and 401 for an unconfigured alias.

Thanks for this PR @wcf778 — I prefer this approach over #259. Keeping additional resource aliases as exact URLs and binding token exchange/refresh to the originally authorized resource feels like the right model here.

There are a few things I’d like to tighten before merging:

  1. On refresh, can we also verify that the stored/effective resource is still allowed by the current allowedResourceUrls policy? Right now a refresh token issued for an alias can still mint a new access token after that alias has been removed from config and DevSpace restarted. /mcp will reject it later, but refresh should fail at the policy boundary itself.

  2. Please document that changes to oauth.allowedResourceUrls require restarting DevSpace, since the provider snapshots this config during server creation.

  3. It would be good to restrict configured resource URLs to HTTPS, with HTTP allowed only for explicit loopback addresses. z.string().url() currently accepts schemes/remote HTTP URLs that we probably shouldn't accept for bearer-token resources.

Thanks for the review @Waishnav — addressed all three points in f7fbc1b.

Refresh now checks the stored resource against the current provider policy before issuing or rotating tokens, even when the request omits resource. Missing or removed resources return invalid_grant; an explicit resource still has to match the original authorization. The restart regression covers removing an alias, rejecting refresh with omitted/explicit resources, and preserving canonical-resource refresh.

Configured aliases now require HTTPS, with HTTP limited to localhost, 127.0.0.1, or [::1] (optional ports). The configuration docs and generated schema describe this restriction, and the docs explicitly require restarting DevSpace after changing oauth.allowedResourceUrls.

I also added an HTTP regression through createServer: canonical and configured alias tokens initialize MCP successfully, while unconfigured aliases, child paths, and different query strings return 401. Typecheck, build, and all four focused test files pass locally on Windows/Node 24. The full suite reports 97 passed, 3 skipped, and one failure in the unchanged Windows process-interruption test (src/process-sessions.test.ts:160, expected the interrupted process to stop); no process/session code was changed in this follow-up.

293-295: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Make the published schema enforce the resource URL policy.

At Line 294, format: "uri" accepts schemes beyond HTTPS and does not restrict HTTP hosts. Values such as http://remote.example/mcp can pass this schema but fail when DevSpace loads the configuration. Keep schema/v1/devspace.schema.json and src/config-schema.ts equivalent by encoding the scheme and host rule or generating the schema from the same validation source. Add parity cases for remote HTTP and non-HTTP URLs.
