stroblmeandClaude Opus 5.5 391edc8766 Serve MCP and hooks with a secret through the portal tunnel
The connector now serves /mcp, its OAuth documents and /hooks/ besides
/api/v1/, refuses any dot segment (httpx resolves them, which carried
/api/v1/../../mcp onto the MCP mount), addresses calls to the hub's host,
and bridges served sockets by calling the app with a websocket scope.
A hook without a secret answers the tunnel with the 404 (or 1008) of a
wrong secret. Requests through the hub get the hub's issuer, resource and
consent page in the OAuth metadata and the 401, and the MCP host check
admits the hub while enrolled.

Agents over MCP

Fluksio exposes flow tools over MCP. An agent can inspect, edit, publish, and run flows with the permissions of the user who authorizes it.

Connect an agent

Set MCP_ENABLED=true in the engine's environment and restart it. The Python package defaults to off; the Docker template enables it.

Configure your MCP client with an HTTP endpoint:

  • Local Docker stack: http://api.localhost/mcp
  • Deployment: https://api.<your-domain>/mcp

The client registers, opens browser authorization, and receives an OAuth token after you approve access. The issuer and browser redirects use DOMAIN, ENVIRONMENT, and FRONTEND_HOST, so configure those for the addresses your client and browser can reach.

Manage registered clients under Admin → Agents. Revoking a client invalidates its access. MCP uses a separate signing key at OAUTH_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE; rotating that key invalidates all MCP tokens.

An instance connected to a portal also answers through it, at https://hub.fluksio.com/i/<instance-id>/mcp (the portal's own hub. host for a custom one). The portal forwards the endpoint and its OAuth, and the instance checks the agent's token as it does locally. The consent page opens in the instance as the portal serves it, so open the instance from the portal first if this browser has not recently.

Available tools

Task Tools
Inspect flows list_flows, get_flow, get_node_source, list_node_types, get_graph, list_shared_nodes
Inspect values get_flow_state, get_message_history
Inspect the instance list_secrets (names only), get_modules, get_health, get_metrics, list_failures, list_runs (live cascades)
Edit flows save_flow, save_node_source, validate_flow, publish_flow, discard_draft, delete_flow
Operate flows run_flow, trigger_node, start_flow, stop_flow, pause_flow, resume_flow, cancel_node
Install node packages apply_modules

Tools call the same API as the browser. Drafts, validation, version checks, and superuser restrictions apply. Secrets cannot be read back.

A useful workflow: ask the agent to inspect the flow, save a draft, and validate it. Review the draft before asking it to publish. The agent has a publish tool, so make your intent explicit.

The assistant

A superuser configures an OpenAI-compatible provider under Settings → Assistant, with a base URL, API key, and model. This enables the dashboard's Assistant entry for signed-in users.

The assistant uses the same tools with your own permissions. Draft edits appear in the editor, and each answer includes a tool trace. Conversations are stored per user on the instance; the bin button clears yours. MCP_ENABLED is only needed for external clients, so the built-in assistant works without it.

Control

A live Wren node with both prompt and actions wired adds a Control tab to the chat. It uses the node's local model and needs no assistant provider.

Choose a node, type a command, and inspect the reported actions: target message, value, confidence, and whether each action was applied. The node's apply and min_confidence settings decide whether it writes to devices. Control conversations stay in the browser and clear on reload.
