The connector disables OAuth and custom headers for local HTTP endpoints. Transport tests verify that stored credentials are removed from local requests and retained for HTTPS requests. ChangesLocalhost HTTP MCP support
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change enables configured MCP servers on localhost over plain HTTP while preserving HTTPS for non-local endpoints. If the connector runs on shared infrastructure, a configured server could reach services listening locally on that runtime, so deployment and endpoint-authorization boundaries need explicit owner awareness before merge.

Greptile SummaryThe PR permits explicit loopback MCP endpoints to use HTTP while retaining HTTPS requirements elsewhere and adds regression coverage.
|
| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| packages/contracts/src/mcp.ts | Extends endpoint validation to permit explicit HTTP loopback hosts while retaining credential, fragment, length, and HTTPS restrictions. |
| packages/adapters/src/mcp-connector.ts | Enables localhost HTTP connections but also removes all configured authentication from those sessions, leaving authenticated local servers unable to initialize. |
| packages/adapters/src/mcp-transport.ts | Shares loopback validation and strips credential-like headers from plaintext local requests while preserving secure remote-fetch handling. |
| packages/adapters/src/mcp-connector.test.ts | Covers localhost discovery but asserts unauthenticated requests rather than verifying that authenticated configured localhost servers remain usable. |
| packages/adapters/src/mcp-transport.test.ts | Adds focused coverage for stripping credentials over local HTTP and retaining them over HTTPS. |
| packages/contracts/src/index.test.ts | Verifies accepted loopback HTTP forms and rejection of non-local HTTP and malformed endpoints. |

Create and update rejected http:// loopback MCP endpoints before McpConnector's allowHttpLocalhost policy could run. Accept HTTP only for localhost/127.0.0.1/::1; keep HTTPS required everywhere else.

In `@packages/contracts/src/mcp.ts`:
- Around line 19-24: Update McpRemoteEndpointSchema’s URL refinement to reject
values ending with a raw trailing “#” before relying on URL.hash, while
preserving the existing credential, fragment, protocol, and local-host checks.
Add a regression test covering a local HTTP endpoint with a trailing empty
fragment.
- Around line 19-24: Update McpConnector.connectSession and its secureFetch
request setup so stored headers and bearer credentials are not sent to local
HTTP URLs identified by isLocalMcpHost; preserve credentials for HTTPS and
existing non-local behavior, or reject credentialed local-HTTP connections
before sending the request.

Loopback MCP endpoints stay usable without sending stored or OAuth credentials over plain HTTP. Preserve configured headers for HTTPS and reject raw trailing fragments at the contract boundary.

Summary
Why
The transport already supports an
allowHttpLocalhostpolicy, butMcpConnectornever enabled it. Configured local MCP servers such as Home Assistant were therefore rejected before connection.Verification
